So Libby and Seth buying their first house has really got me thinking about what I would want to buy. I drove past this one a few weeks ago and really liked the size and its neighborhood. Great proximity to school and to a Kroger. I really like the loft in it too.

That got me thinking about what I would want if I could design my own house, and I came across this site: Historic House Plans. What's amazing to me is that even in the late 20s, they were advertising indoor bathrooms as a luxury. Now having like 7 bathrooms is what's expected out of a new home and they are gargantuan. It kills me what not even 100 years can do to the living standard. We are a society of excess and it shows!
