I live in a 1929 Colonial in New England. We did entire house renovations and it was a huge undertaking. We kept almost all the original features of the house - oak flooring (some with mahogany inlay), pine flooring, wide mouldings and an old claw foot tub was restored. We did add some updates and had to complete gut rooms (kitchen, bathrooms) but we did put the house back to where it was. We added additional features to go with the house too. Unfortunately my windows had to go - I practically cried in the replacement window stores. I still havent gotten over it.
Love my old house - even with its settled foundations, it's creeky noises, and its lack of central air conditioning.
