    No - not just you. But I'm not into Retro AT ALL.

    Nope.....me too - would never want the retro look myself, but then guess most people wouldn't want our look either (Arts & Crafts/Art Nouveau) ;):p

    It so bad it's good but not in a good way. If you get what I mean.
    Nothing to see here, move along.

    I'm just amazed that everything in that house is absolutely immaculate. Not a scratch or a speck of dust anywhere.

    Well... Arts & Crafts/Art Nouveau is retro, just by 120 years or so rather than 40. And they are hugely popular styles now so you will hardly be alone in your choice; whereas in the 1940's they were so unfashionable that many, many examples were simply thrown away - hence the rarity of original items now. The same thing happened (and continues to happen) with subsequent style movements such as Art Deco (my personal favourite) and Bauhaus in the 30's and continues to this day.

    Getting back to the theme of this thread, if you like A&C then you might be interested to see that this property has been reduced (again)

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    Ahhh! The floor tiles in the kitchen are amazing.. and the kitchen cupboards... I would buy the house just for them! And the shower....! But then Im a sucker for retro... :D

    I'm very disappointed there isn't an avocado corner bath.

    With a little de-orangeification it could be a nice bright house without losing its 'period' feel.
