But it&#8217;s unique because there&#8217;s definitely been some updates and remodeling. I really want to find the original house plans and the permits for the remodel. I wonder how do to that. City Hall records maybe? I&#8217;d love to see what the floor plan used to be and what it changed to compared to what it is now. I&#8217;m assuming there have been a few updates since 1925. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, one of Michael&#8217;s friends has a house almost identical to ours except it&#8217;s only the main floor (2 bedroom, one bathroom). Our house was remodeled at some point for the attic to be converted to a second floor. The second floor has the humongous master bedroom\/bathroom (bathroom has a jacuzzi tub!), a bedroom (which is Logan&#8217;s room right now until he&#8217;s a little older then maybe it will be the office), a nook that we are using as a playroom\/music room for Michael and a half bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4280-e1563419363440.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4280-e1563419363440.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4280-e1563419363440-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>(The jacuzzi tub is kind of my favorite part of the new house. As a not tiny person, I&#8217;ve never comfortably enjoyed a luxurious bath in small bathtubs, which is the norm for apartments and house built in the 70&#8217;s and 80&#8217;s so this tub is definitely an upgrade!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, the first part of the house, the living room and hallways, are the original part of the house for sure. They are lath and plaster walls. If you don&#8217;t know what that is, it&#8217;s basically skinny wood and plaster instead of drywall, here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4284.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"57185\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/?attachment_id=57185\" class=\"wp-image-57185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4284.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4284-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"270\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4285.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"57184\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/?attachment_id=57184\" class=\"wp-image-57184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4285.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4285-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"426\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4286.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4286.jpg 426w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4286-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s how old house in that time period were built. Then drywall became the norm. I&#8217;m not sure why they didn&#8217;t remodel the living room and hallway  because they definitely remodeled the bathroom, bedroom (which we are using as a guestroom) and the room we are using as an office on the mainfloor. Those rooms aren&#8217;t lath and plaster, they are drywall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But they did keep some of the cool features of the original house, besides the plaster walls in the living room. They kept this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4262-e1563419656168.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4262-e1563419656168.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_4262-e1563419656168-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m guessing it works still.

The bathroom on the mainfloor also has built in cabinets\/shelving, which I love. I love built-in everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus the windows in the front living room are original. Meaning actually original to the 1920&#8217;s. Which aesthetically is amazing but economically and energy-wise not so much. They are still on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oldhouseonline.com\/repairs-and-how-to\/how-to-restore-sash-windows\"><strong>pulley-system<\/strong><\/a>. Which is kind of scary when you have a toddler. It would be easy to smash fingers. We have to be extra careful.

I know that there are specialty window people that can upgrade your windows so that they are double paned and energy efficient but still look like the time period.  I just need to research it, and I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s pretty expensive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to show pictures of the finished house but we are still unpacking a few things and getting organized. We haven&#8217;t really hung any of our art yet and are still figuring out where stuff goes.
