I noticed the nice Byrd house.

That's what typped me off to the unpaynted block of wood.

...if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!

Keep your stick on the ice!

Get out your toolbox.

Hmmm...never saw it turn. I wonder how that worked out.

Had the same thought.

Isn't selective editing wonderful?

it’s a muscle mower. You don’t worry about turning.

He looks like the sort of guy that would have thought things through. He could always just pull a wheelie and turn the mower.

The throw rug is not in my studio, and the coverlet is solid blue.

Got a slide show of probable outcomes today that make me very happy. November is going to be a long month. And I know it's quite close.

Very nice, if very modern. I was hoping for the same charm the exterior has.

Wonder if he's related to this guy

Yeah maybe they figure the inside would take more of a beating and did not want to appoint it with collector furniture.

Funny you mentioning that; I recently read an article on the Chautauqua community in Boulder, Co. They have been restoring some homes and cottages to use as rentals, furnishing them with era furniture and fittings, to keep an authentic charm to them so renters can "live" the experience from over a 100 years ago.

Edit: I just looked at their website; seems like they have "modernized" many of their offerings. Sad, but probably for the best as in the article I read they were hoping the renters would be in tune with what they were doing, but apparently, that may have not been the case.

The Colorado Chautauqua

The article I read is in the Fall/Winter issue of Style:1900 magazine (volume 19, number 4)

Indeed there are some beautiful homes and cottages there. And the Auditorium and Dining Hall are period structures kept up very well, with continual use. A Must See district for any visitors to Boulder.
