I never really thought about it, but her home in Romania is practically a time capsule. My Romanian mother-in-law has a summer kitchen, which is in a separate building outside.

Those are both amazing homes! That second one in the low $100,000s is an absolute steal too. Great find, it's always nice to see owners keeping their homes original :) Wow!

I feel so wasteful! I bought a 1955 ranch house 12 years ago from the original owners. After living in it for 10 years and enjoying the knotty pine cabinets in the kitchen my spouse, upon marriage and moving into my home, convinced me to remodel the kitchen. I still have regrets. The good news is the cabinets are solid wood and still there, and now have a coating of white paint. Alas, I have TONS of iron hardware (pulls and hinges) from these cabinets and some from the living room. The ones from the kitchen look like the ones in the picture in the link below. The living room pulls are a heart with a circle pull. I love them. I want someone to have them who will upcycle them in their home. Does anyone have an idea of how I might sell them? Love this site!
