How to Keep an Old House Warm in Winter (Without Ruining It)
How we’re keeping a 1924 house warm this winter without replacing the windows or the boiler: find the drafts,…
our kind of tension.
Patina + Modern.
Old
These houses were built to last 200 years. They’ve already made it 100. The decisions we make now — the tile, the paint, the hardware — become part of that story. We take that seriously.
House
Not a showhouse. Not a flip. A home that gets lived in, argued over, and slowly made right for right now. Every room has a before. Every after honors it.
Rules
Period-correct doesn’t mean precious. Patina doesn’t mean neglect. And “they don’t make them like this anymore” isn’t a problem; it’s the whole point.
Our story
This House Has Opinions.
1924 Rosemont documents the decisions, finds, and hard-won lessons that come with living in a 100-year-old house.
From paint, tile, wallpaper, lighting, rugs, vintage hardware, everything we do is considered through the lens of a house that knows what it wants.
What We’ve Been Obsessing Over
Thinking about lighting, rugs, and hardware? So are we! Posts from our best projects, planning, and our biggest fails, too. We’ll never gatekeep, and we’ll always keep you posted along the way.
