      I actually saw this was used in a Homeworthy YT channel home tour of this lady that has a creative mind, but what’s so funny is that her son actually put the disco ball on a lamp without a lampshade that was in the corner of her living room.
      I think it’s great that she used so many objects in ways that are creative “outside of the box” ways to live with unique objects that can be used in different ways.
      This is a great tour of her house. I like her artistic style of just putting things in the house that speaks to her and that she loves rather than everything being so overwhelmingly curated

    Love your house, love, love, love your style... Also love South Philly....
    I do want to add additional information about your house as I have a 30 year of knowledge in vernacular architecture and spent the past seven years in an 1852 South Philly row house. The majority of South Philly was built out before 1900 (despite inaccurate city records) and indoor bathrooms were pretty standard in new construction by the 1880s. Your house was definitely built before 1900 with a bathroom, albeit a fairly basic one, but it definitely had a bathroom when constructed.
    Philly was unique in that developers offered two story, three bedroom, one bath house, known as the "Workingman's House" with kitchens, gas lighting, and radiator heating (usually about 800-1000 sq ft) for the sum of two or three thousand dollars. Ordinary working class people could afford to own a house and pay it off in about ten years. More than 50,000 of these homes were built between 1887 and 1893, enough to provide housing for a quarter million people.
    As for your blue tub... In the middle of the 20th century, especially after WWII, homeowners wanted to modernize their homes, and the majority of Philly houses were updated with modern bathrooms and kitchens. Everybody wanted to "Keep up with the Jones's" and door to door salesmen were out in droves selling newly remodeled kichens and bathrooms, permastone and awnings. One of the challenges of Philly row houses is that the majority of them have been gut rehabbed multiple times leaving very little of the original interiors intact.

    • @batubop651
      @batubop651 2 месяца назад +2

      Very interesting, really appreciate you sharing this info with such detail. I’ve lived in a couple of similarly dated but comparatively very basic and smaller ‘workman’s cottages’ in Australia that had barely been updated apart from the bathrooms, even still both only had the outdoor toilet or ‘dunny’ as they’re called in Australia, in a little shed in the backyard. I always wondered what the original bathrooms would have looked like before the 70’s attacked them. Would it have been a very basic wet room, perhaps with a simple big trough type sink for washing ourselves and clothes etc. Wondering if you have any insight into this? For the Philly houses, not my Aussie ones of course! The kitchens in mine had barely been touched, with the original old working wood stove and chimney, but the addition of a newer oven and fridge. In both cases, the old original stove still worked much better! And did double duty of warming up the walls of the drafty home during winter. There’s a soul to these old homes that’s completely lacking in most modern constructions, they feel like old friends. I miss them terribly and would happily swap in a heartbeat for my newer place with its modcons that slaps you with its millennial grey and in its perpetual state of ‘ready to flip turn-key’ vibe.
      Mitch has done an incredible job breathing life into this amazing home. Mitch feels so authentic, genuine, honest and comfortable, and the home feels like the perfect expression of these qualities. A brilliant eye for design and careful and intentional editing, each piece and tableaux filled with meaning, joy and creativity, making for such a personal, relaxed and fun space. So tasteful but with no airs about it, feels so welcoming. Wishing Mitch many happy and creative years in their wonderful home!

I will watch this again and again. We just moved to a very modest size Cape Cod style house from the '50's, we love it and are having fun decorating it, so Mitch's home tour arrived at a good time for me. So inspiring! Mitch is a true artist. Her joy is infectious. I hope she can live in this gorgeous home for many years! Thank you, thank you, Mitch!
