The 1900 House

When you go through the pains of restoring a house back to 1900 detail, you really should make the most of it! I was sad they almost never talked about what it was like to live in gas lighting, or even the simple of reading in this low light. So many other missed opportunities to keep the kids busy other than having them just sitting around bored. Children in lower middle-class homes were expected to participate more. Maybe they should have given the family better guidance. Like not eating in the kitchen all the time or serving tea in the kitchen to guests was not something that would have been done. To get them OUT of their 1999 lifestyles. But everything was cynical it seems. Even the guy restoring the house that made the statement "It's gonna be a whole log gloomier and a whole lot nastier".. WHAT? You're really someone who love restoring old historic scenes and that's how you're describing this?
