We couldn't figure out what the tiny room upstairs was for....a nursery? Now we know....it was a designated dressing room!

Nothing will ever replace the radio. Not unless the Reds take over, then we might see things as absurd as a home computer in every house. Nonesense. What a stupid idea, that will never catch on.

My home was built in 1959 and it has a small room off the kitchen that I believe was designed to be either a TV room or den or both. I have taken one of my three bedrooms and turned it into the TV/music room so that when entertaining the livingroom with fireplace is for conversation and entertaining. Those that want to watch TV have their own room down the hall. THanks,John Hi, very nice idea.
