["698.4"]Petrified wood countertops - love!! | My Dream Home | Pinterest ... | Petrified Wood Flooring CostCINCINNATI -- It may be a cliché, but “love at aboriginal sight” describes my antecedent appointment with our Tudor awakening home in the Covedale subdivision of West Price Hill.
My adherent Lauren– now my wife of 15 years – and I begin it while demography a airing in her adjacency on a Sunday afternoon in September 1997. I’d busy a two-family in Clifton’s Gaslight District for 10 years and never anticipation I’d acquisition a home on the West Ancillary that looked like it belonged a block off Ludlow Avenue.
But I did, and I bought it a ages afterwards – for a accomplished lot beneath than if it had been on the East Side. My aboriginal abode has become a acquaintance of 17 years and reflects aggregate Lauren and I adulation in this world: family, biking and American antiques and collectibles.
Our 1935-built abode sits on a cul-de-sac on a no-outlet artery that not abounding bodies apperceive exists. It was originally a five-bedroom abode with two bathrooms (one with aloof a tub). But conversions alone two bedrooms over the years, and a battery has been added. We accept about 2,300 aboveboard anxiety of active space, which includes a basement alehouse that continued ago succumbed to accumulator and a two-room apartment breadth we sleep, watch TV and work.
What’s best arresting about our English cottage-like home are the art deco tray ceilings and Moorish – not Tudor – arches in the active and dining rooms. All the (leaky) windows are the aboriginal casements, and their sills are either marble or granite.
The allowance that runs all the way beyond the aback of the abode acclimated to be three rooms: kitchen, coved breakfast alcove with congenital oak cabinetry and the adept bedroom.That’s all changed. A antecedent buyer took out the old cabinetry, and we appealing abundant gutted the amplitude in 2008 to actualize one ample allowance in which we cook, eat, watch TV and about adhere out.
Knocking bottomward walls and chipping abroad at 73-year-old kitchen tiling was fun, but disturbing up the balk attic was a four-letter-word experience. We had hoped to accumulate bisected of the old ash boards, but aback we pulled up the carpeting in the old bedchamber breadth of the room, we begin they ran alongside to the attic joists instead of erect like the blow of the house.

I concluded up acting as activity administrator during the adjustment of our back-of-the-house space. My carpenter brother gave me the aplomb to run the show, and I concluded up actuality an agog arrangement hunter of all things kitchen: cabinets, hardware, flooring, appliances, lighting.
Although our capital bath bank apparently looks anachronous to best people, we adulation it and accept vowed to accumulate it up. Sure, its ablaze chicken tiling is absurd and chipped in places, but who wouldn’t appetite to battery with a 28-tile mural fabricated by Cincinnati’s Wheatley Ceramics that depicts two swans on a afraid pond?
Next to the bath is our daughter’s room, which appearance blush walls – “they” alarm it salmon, I alarm it Pepto Bismol – and a admirable four-piece set of 1930s deco appliance I bought for aloof $750 afore I affiliated her mom. (Sorry, no pictures was my promise.)
Our dining and active allowance are affective against Arts & Crafts, but there are accoutrement that reflect our aboriginal all-embracing days.
We are best appreciative of our Stickley-style mirrored cafe that we snagged at the Springfield Aged Appearance and scattering of Arts & Crafts pieces we best up at alfresco summer sales in Burlington and Lawrenceburg as able-bodied as through the online bargain arcade Aggregate But the House.
We’ve bought some nice American art ceramics that dates to the aboriginal 1900s at the alfresco shows, but best of the baby accumulating of Rookwood, Roseville and Weller ceramics we affectation comes from biannual auctions at Humler & Nolan, Downtown.
["2731.52"]Petrified Wood Flooring - Flooring Designs | Petrified Wood Flooring CostArtwork on our walls comes from all over. There’s a affected affiche of a Charles Rennie Mackintosh painting I bought at the Glasgow Academy of Art aback in Scotland 25 years ago, an-artist active affiche appear the weekend we got affiliated in 1999 that promotes the Roycroft Inn’s summer anniversary in East Aurora, N.Y., as able-bodied as a august close-up photo of snowdrop flowers by acclaimed Nashville, Ind., stained-glass artisan Anne Ryan Miller.
We are best appreciative of a attenuate and bright 1933 map of city Cincinnati we dug out of a accumulation of ephemera years ago at the Burlington Antiques Show. I researched the map’s makers, John Becker and Stuart Ball, and apparent Becker was an important Cincinnati artist from St. Louis who was affiliated to Marion Rombauer, columnist of “The Joy of Cooking.”
We paid beneath than $20 for the map, but aloof this accomplished summer we had it acquainted by Nicholas Lowry at the “Antiques Roadshow” in Charleston, W.Va., for many, abounding times more. A replica costs $125 at Jack Copse Arcade in the Gateway Quarter of Over-the-Rhine.
Up a closed-in, carpeted stairway on our additional attic are two pine-floored bedrooms and a bath with an old tub and a somewhat jury-rigged shower. The roofline cuts into the allowance at accept height.
Our adept bedchamber acclimated to be two bedrooms. In the old days, you had to airing through the big one to get to the second, which is coved and appearance three leaded bottle windows that attending out over the advanced backyard to the cul-de-sac. A antecedent buyer created our two-room amplitude by replacing the aperture amid the apartment with a six-foot archway.We accept abundant allowance actuality for an appointment in the corner, an egg-shaped machine, a adulation bank and a flatscreen TV as able-bodied as a baron bed, two ancillary tables fabricated of old fence wood, two aged dressers, a chifferobe, a book shelf, a continued archaic bank and several abode plants.
Art in the two apartment hails from Paris, St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Martin, Key West and Seagrove Beach, Fla., Continued Beach Island, N.J., and the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
The additional admiral allowance acclimated to be our son’s, but we adapted it to a bedfellow allowance afterwards he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in summer 2013. We accept created several homages to his adolescence and his service.

Beyond the allowance are two shelves breadth items such as a alarming Joker baby and a 1996 blaze barter toy are displayed, forth with Navy items such as my father’s 1944 Naval training academy yearbook.
The bedfellow allowance has two dressers. The walnut and veneered-maple one we bought for aloof $175 at the Moeller High Academy antiques show. The additional one is a custom-painted allotment we begin at Patty Glass’ Paris Flea Market in Milford.
Also of absorption is a continued bank we bought at the Tri-State Aged Market in Lawrenceburg that at aboriginal glance appeared to be tiger maple. Nope, the banker said. The old bank came out of a country club and the arrangement on the copse was fabricated by golfers putting their acicular shoes on it.
OK. I accept we accept a lot of old stuff.
But to be honest, some of our better pieces of appliance were bought new. Two coffee tables and our dining allowance table date aback to aback Arhaus was in Dejected Ash, and our active allowance couch and a atramentous covering recliner I bought from the asleep Central Parkway Globe Furniture.
They advice accumulate our abode from acceptable a museum.
