Wow! It reminds me actually of the kitchen of one of my older aunts back when I was a kid. I enjoyed all the pictures, but the kitchen is the one I love the most. Wow!

You don't have to clean pinch pleats very often, like every 5-10 years. Just vacuum them very lightly every now and then, and be careful not to choose a pattern that shows dirt ha ha. That aside, I certainly understand wash 'n wear. I am very into slipcovers for that reason...and apologize if I slipped into dogma! Naaah.

It's really a lovely little house, I can't imagine why it hasn't sold. And you're right, the formica WAS cool, it was little squiggly lines I think, and had to be original. What doesn't show in this picture was opposite the sink in the kitchen, there was a washer/dryer built in with cabinets fitted around it, exactly matching the others, so I'm sure it must have been original as well.
