I love how your outlook is to have a vintage-feeling house but not obsessing over having it 100% accurate to one specific time period, it can be so easy to fall down that rabbit hole and get lost in trying to make it look more like a museum than feel like a home
I have a downstairs room in my house that was surplus to requirements some years ago and I have pretty much converted it into a period 1930's / 40's style living room. I have inherited a lot of family bits and pieces and bought plenty more over the years and it has really come together quite well I feel. The whole room is decorated in period colours of sage green and cream on the walls with dado and picture rails, period light fittings and switches, carpet rug over lino flooring, period furniture and what have you. There are wartime gas masks, a radio set, stirrup pump, ARP armband and manual book, Clarice Cliff china, a dummy period fireplace, the list goes on ... One must also remember that there probably isn't such a thing as a true period hose internally. Houses in the 40's often/normally contained a whole host of items from the twenties and earlier, just as properties in the sixties had leftovers still treasured and in regular use from the 40's ...
sounds great / i love vintage ,but iv gone for different time periods for each room my bed room and hall and landing are 1970s , living room modern . kitchen 1940s
@@tinamiles9328 me too, but these days carbolic soap esp the red type is getting hard to find, unless you pay over priced on ebay, which i have bought some of ebay, but wrights coal tar soap, which has a lovely smell & is an old type soap, is easy to find, & impirial leather, is easy to find too, & i have an abundance of both just incase it dissapires
I love anything vintage/antique. I bought my first home nearly 7 years ago and it's an 1858 cottage/farmhouse in rural South Australia. I'm slowly bringing it back to how it would've looked back then, even ripping out the kitchen and having an unfitted one. Am really loving researching what would've been in my home. Thankyou for sharing 🤗
Fun fact!: the soap at 15:00 would have been made in port sunlight which is near where I live, it’s been going for decades and decades ( probably way way longer) and there is an art gallery there which has paintings that lady Leverhulme ( wife of lord leverhulme who owned the soap company) collected. Last time I went they had a little film showing real recordings from different time periods in the village and they also had a beautifully preserved dress she wore back then and it was so so pretty, really nice place to visit if you’re interested in this sort of stuff
A pretty village built for workers in the soap factory. Pete Burns, the singer from Dead or Alive was born and brought up there. Hs dad worked for the company.
@@pobstrel Oh wow I didn’t know about that! On the video I saw it showed the workers going to and from work on old fashioned bikes which I thought was interesting
Love this so much. I wonder if the stairs in the back was a design to prevent cold air from flowing straight into the whole house from the front door? Having them in the back off the kitchen would shunt warm air from the stove in the kitchen upstairs into the bedrooms. Your home is just fabulous. Greetings from Kansas USA
I recently discovered your channel and adore your home. I love the fact that your house is inspired by the 1940s but is not a slave to it. I was raised by my grandparents who were both born at the turn of the century. Therefore, our home was totally eclectic as there was furniture from when they were first married in the 1930s and items they equired from every decade thereafter. Back in the 1940s most people would have owned stuff from previous eras so their homes were also eclectic.
I grew up with so much vintage stuff in our house because if it worked it wasn’t getting replaced. Almost all my home now is vintage from different eras. I have bought new furniture etc over the years and it’s terrible quality. Another big problem is modern furniture is really hard to fit inside a vintage home where space is limited and doorways and hallways can be narrow. I used to have eiderdowns in my youth but gave them away and regretted it. I found a fantastic one in a charity shop. Vintage but like new for £1. Such a bargain. I definitely need it during the winter too.
I’m American. My beloved Granny (1947-2010) was born and raised in rural Kentucky. She was the youngest of 9 children born into a very poor family. She grew up in a two room shack. She never had indoor plumbing until she got married in 1964 (age 17). Because her family lived on the side of a mountain away from town, they also didn’t have electricity. This 1940’s house without its labor saving devices, would have looked like Heaven on earth to her parents. Anyway, my grandparents got married in high school and then moved to Baltimore, MD upon graduating because there was nothing for them in KY except coal mines and poverty. My Papaw (81) told me when he moved to Maryland, he found a job within the first week and he never knew life could be so good. He got a job as a chemistry assistant at a steel mill, and says there were days there really wasn’t much to do, and he would catch himself sitting on a desk, swinging his legs in boredom, and then feel overwhelmed with gratitude that he wasn’t breaking his back in some god forsaken coal mine back home. He became an electrician and worked for the same company for 30 years until he retired. When he and my Granny bought their first house, it was this dilapidated dump on an abandoned military base. He and his brother got there before the home inspector and jacked the floor joists up under the crawl space so it would pass inspection. They lived there about 10 years, slowly fixing it up. My Granny said they were so poor, they’d even reuse old nails. After they retired, they moved back home (lower cost of living) and kept what they had. Their house feels like a cozy time capsule of things collected from 1964 onward. My Papaw still has, in a little picture frame, a school project I made in 1st grade, proudly displayed in his dining room. (I’m 37.) It’s amazing how people used to do with so little back then! And I appreciate the older mindset of using things until they can be used no longer, and decorating your home for yourself to enjoy. 🥰
Love that story!❤ Using and reusing and making do is something we could do much more of. I live not far from where your Papaw lived and it’s now a nice mix of rural and urban living is not far, where goods can be delivered to the door. We forget how good we have it!! Thank you for sharing your perspective and family history!
Hiya I love your house! You can get smaller radios and many of the vintage ones still actually work and have been adapted to fit our plugs. My partner's got one and it sits in top of his piano with plenty of room to share x
What an amazing atmosphere is conjured up, by your lovely home! It's a credit to your love for the period! I really enjoyed watching and listening to this video! Hope you find the stained glass door you want, very soon! (maybe some kind person out there, would donate one to you?! ) fingers crossed! love sue xxx
my Gran lived in Dartford and this is her home to a tee - no fridge and when Mum and I visited her in 1962 she purchased a small one for her - until then all she had was a pantry - and imagine my surprise when her kitchen sink drained into a square cement catchbasin just outside the kitchen - guess it drained into the city sewers? good memories ♥
I am currently house hunting and found a very rare gem! A house that is in original condition that has a real 1940s vibe. It is currently online, site: On The Market, £160,000 in Brynteg, High St, Mountain Ash, South Wales, take a peek, great original features! Thanks for another great video! ♥
Lucky you, hope you decide to buy it, you sound like the right person for the house. We took are browsing our area for a period house of the 20s to 50s era and get so annoyed every time we think we've found something only to find the complete heart and soul of the house has been ripped out.
A home in the 19th century and at the turn of the century had stair runners , so there is historic precedent for it, and its highly probable that someone who was born in the 19th century would have had a stair runner in a 1920’s house after moving from a previous abode and as most people didn’t throw things away , a newly married couple or someone inheriting a property from an older or elderly relative might well have kept the stair runner , especially if they had children running up and down the stairs. Come wartime you kept what you had due to the lack of manufacturing and rationing and this would’ve remained till after rationing ended. Maybe there were people in the 1940’s who were vintage and had things from the grandparents time , many things happened that were never recorded , especially domestic matters
Decorating is about doing what makes you happy, warm and comfortable. You don't (or shouldn't), decorate to please others and I think sadly it is too often the case. Do you!
plumbing makes a bathroom close to the kitchen practical no pipes running all over...cheaper to build...I am new viewer....your stairway is very pretty.
I have that bathroom ( including the square soap bar , the exact tap and sink, and the tub- no shower) My floor is wood no tile and alas -- no pull chain or cistern toilet. But I’ve added a First Aid kit for practicality. My home is c 1905 and I’ve bumped up the conveniences and most of the style 20 yrs, which is about the same as British women had in the ‚40s! ❤ I do have a down comforter and a full size bed made up with cotton sheets from the 1960s ❤
Hello! Just discovered your channel, when this vid was served to me in my recs (I watch a lot of vintage / thrifting / history / dress history content). Fab! Have subscribed, and will be catching up on your back catalogue. I live in a small brick-built semi, such as might be called a cottage, in a village in the South-East of England, built 1930. 2 up, 2 down (originally...). Currently mostly rocking the nineties / noughties decor that I am too lazy to update... Do have the original Rayburn stove in the kitchen - tho not functional - just a glorified wide shelf in an alcove, mostly obscured by the kitchen table. I too have a pvc front door (weirdly monogrammed with the initials of a previous owner...). Home wares, clothes, jewellery (*most* important!) - I buy almost everything secondhand. I haunt the charity shops... I trawl ebay... Much more satisfying and beautiful. Your home is lovely. It looks, cosy, inviting and cherished.
Nostalgia is a funny thing; it’s nice to hanker after things from the past, but often the reality was not good! It is best to do like we see here and have ‘inspired’ instead of recreating things. I grew up in a tiny cottage without heating, stone floors, no bathroom, no running hot water, and toilet down the end of a garden. I am retired now but still remember the numbing cold in the winter, the stone sink with a horrible wooden draining board, and tin bath in front of the fire.
Your house is adorable - so happy for you and your mom I don’t like rugs though - dirt/ dust collectors, an accident waiting to happen with someone tripping AND they are covering up your beautiful wooden floor
New to your channel! The door at the beginning is fab 😍 you can strike lucky on marketplace you know, people still love removing them and don't know what they have!
We live in a home from the 1920’s and the past home owners added tile all up the bathroom walls. Now this may look nice however when it gets cool then cold the tiles get very cold making the amount of steam from showering just unreal. The steam is destroying so much of our home even after adding the most powerful fan vent we could find. If it gets cold where you live please think about this before tiling your walls!! Your home is lovely!
We've done similar in our house and the only thing I think really spoils our room is the bloody modern TV which is the only thing the dear ol wife won't budge on, which at the end of the day isnt so bad I suppose, and it stands on my grandma and granddad's 50s gramophone,which blends it on slightly, just need to find a way of sensibly hiding it when not in use.
I have just started watching your channel I love and I love your house Well done to you and your Mum Can I ask a question love that you have pigeons they are underrated birdsMy question does your beautiful cat not bother the pigeons? Anyway will keep on watching Best wishes from Scotland 😊
You ever think that in 80 yrs someone is gonna want to have their sterile living square of a sleeping area decorated like my home right now, with decor that expands all the styles from the last 25 years with a touch of 80s Tupperware 😅❤❤
Don't worry about the advert earworms. I can still sing adverts from as early as the late 70's. Some for products and companies that no longer exist. 🤦♂
You would have loved my radio record player I had in the 1970’s (1940/50’s vintage) . The middle pulled up to reveal the record player and dropped forward to access the turntable. I got rid of it when my third child was born but my neighbors son saved it for the time. Flame mahogany veneers. I love my 78 records. No current way to play them.🙁 One house we rented had an electric wringer washer in the basement, don’t think I would like to revisit that although I could. Use to have clotheslines full of diapers and clothes to my husband’s chagrin. It was normal for Midwest me but embarrassing for city him. I didn’t get it at the time. It is so much more environmentally friendly. Can’t understand communities banning this energy saving practice.
@KatieRae_AmidCrisis thank you! I would call that a duck down comforter or just a down comforter, but those are definitely more spiffy than our plain USA white ones! I love it ❤️
Do you work? Do you dress like that when you go out I don’t like dresses I mean a nice black dress to go out to dinner or something is OK. I don’t even have one. I couldn’t stand wearing dresses all day long. I like your house, but I’m not too old things certain things like telephone phones typewriters but not a lot lol
A teddy Bear Lover yippee ❤My favourite Erra especially the clothing is the 1920s there is a woman on our estate she goes to work in 1920s cloths i wonder if her home to is 1920s our estate here in Devon is a old council estate but there are as well 1930s homes as well as older homes around ❤❤Mum had a lot of those things the carpet Sweeper lasted well in too the 1970s we had a steel water boiler for washing and a close wringer oh many things when dad was de mobed they had a Prefab it was lovely place i am 66 this year parents been gone long time dad in 1984 mum in Aprill 2000 Grandma in 1974 🤍new sub 💝💝💝 ww3 is close there will be rationing again but different as all will be digital id fuel will be scares again used to love eiderdown’s they are better then duvets ❤

i agree . its the cosy warm feeling i love about this vintage era , and they have it just right
I live in a 1934 bungalow in the US. Im inspired by what you're doing here as I'm slowly bringing it back to "periodesque"! You’ve done a lovely job!
you're a good speaker . Very clear with one word spoken at a time ,unlike many young people now who speak in monotone.
I have a downstairs room in my house that was surplus to requirements some years ago and I have pretty much converted it into a period 1930's / 40's style living room.

Your last sentence: exactly.
My daughter and I just bought a house in Fort Wayne Indiana that was built in 1930. We're so inspired by what you and your mum have done!
Glad it's not just me that prefers bar of soap to the pump handwash 😉
i still buy and use carbolic soap
@@tinamiles9328 me too, but these days carbolic soap esp the red type is getting hard to find, unless you pay over priced on ebay, which i have bought some of ebay, but wrights coal tar soap, which has a lovely smell & is an old type soap, is easy to find, & impirial leather, is easy to find too, & i have an abundance of both just incase it dissapires
I wouldn't mind. People who think that's dirty should be reminded, in the words of Chandler Bing, "Because soap is soap. It's self cleaning."
The 1940 house really was an accumulation of the previous decades due to the War and rationing. Your house is a perfect example of that.
Thumbs 👍 I have a 1920's radio and I love it can listen to the old music on it and escape the rat race for a while. Great video.
I love anything vintage/antique. I bought my first home nearly 7 years ago and it's an 1858 cottage/farmhouse in rural South Australia. I'm slowly bringing it back to how it would've looked back then, even ripping out the kitchen and having an unfitted one. Am really loving researching what would've been in my home.

I love unfitted kitchens.
Unfitted kitchens are wonderful! I have made one too c 1905-20s.

I love your house looks so cosy
I'd LOVE to be able to see things like the original door that my house came with, that would be amazing.
So nice to see you don’t have a tv as the main focus in your living room
We've done similar in our house and the only thing I think really spoils our room is the bloody modern TV which is the only thing the dear ol wife won't budge on, which at the end of the day isnt so bad I suppose, and it stands on my grandma and granddad's 50s gramophone,which blends it on slightly, just need to find a way of sensibly hiding it when not in use.
Your fave when you said PVC door 😂 in time you may find a lovely wooden one
In the meantime maybe she could paint it a lovely 1940’s inspired colour with stained glass window film.

Your so cool. I want that door too. Thank you😊
I wonder how it would be to do it 1920s. I suppose the furnishings would be Edwardian since probably a lot of people didn't buy new things.
I love this
I have an old wireless cabinet that I’ve turned into a liquor cabinet. It’s quite handy and beautiful.
I enjoy watching you in England I'm in USA , I 've read a lot period books
I remember sunlight soap from my childhood I am in my sixties nice to know it was called after the place it was made sounded like a nice place to stay
This was like my grandad's house. He served in the Air Force. ❤
You can paint pvc doors with Frenchic paint. They do a colour called victory green.
❤ been you is beautifully original and today that's unique!
What are the vintage perfumes that are still produced today? Love your videos, by the way!
YOU ARE VERY LOVELY.
Why not have a wall hanging of a wireless? 😍
It looks nice
11:29 is it to blend that hot and cold water when both on full blast?🤔
That's what I tell the wife when truth be told I can't be bothered to nip it up!
Hi new subscriber ❤
Stare runners were removed in war time
What if it was pouring with rain on a Monday? Could they wash on a drier Wednesday instead?
Lovely video :) we have a Henry hoover was my nans :D
You could paint upvc a traditional 1920s colour
What did you call the blankets??? Ida downs???
eiderdowns
Eider is a species of duck. Eiderdowns are feather-filled quilts. A term in use in the UK long before duvet.
@KatieRae_AmidCrisis thank you! I would call that a duck down comforter or just a down comforter, but those are definitely more spiffy than our plain USA white ones! I love it ❤️
