Thanks to Loren and Amber for sending in these photos, and thanks, Pam, for using them. I love seeing photos of the beautiful, museum-quality mid-century houses, but, I can really identify more with photos of houses like this one. It looks so much like the 1950s-era house my grandparents owned in southern Ohio, which they sold to a cousin of mine. (It's great when these places stay in the family). I swear, their great- grandma and my grandma certainly had the same decorating style. (When I was a teen-ager in the 70s, at family gatherings a bunch of the cousins would go down in the family room in the basement and play a game -- we would turn out the lights, and everyone had to grab the nearest thing. Then, we turned on the lights, and the "winner" was the person with the weirdest thing. It was pretty hard to decide the winner sometimes, believe me.) GREAT feature!
