I especially like it because of the porch.I adore porches. It's my dream to have a little house one day with a porch and sit on it in a rocking chair with a good book and a glas of wine listening to the clashing of the waves from the nearby ocean<br />Love the slides as well.

I had to smile at the lace curtains, net lace, possibly, crochet, no. My mother was of the same era and taught me a few things too.<br />It must have been a very well to do farm to have such a beautiful staircase. The setting, so near the river is ideal for the times where there was no running water on tap.

Without modern technology, housewives would have been busy to get things done. However I suppose we, modern people, might be leading busier life with cell phones and computers.
