Rebuilding, Uncluttering
The New York Times has a
neat article on the restoration of the 1920s-era ceiling mural in that city's Verizon building lobby. Besides falling to the decay of age, it was seriously damaged on 9/11/01.
(thx, Christopher!)
Also, check this out: House In Progress, a weblog on the renovation of an old Chicago bungalow (via things magazine). Apparently the previous owner of 60 years left the current occupants just about everything stored in the house. In the What On Earth archives, they catalog most of the items -- a veritable treasure trove of nifty stuff. I am so envious. The only extra things we got out of our vintage home purchase were some '50s ceramic dishes (pretty cool, actually), a ladder, and a stinky plaid-covered sleeper.
