"Many of Ben's collectables are from relatives. But such is his celebrity in the area that strangers often pop by with knick-knacks."

Nice to see an article like this keeping a respectful tone. And nertz to the nose-blowers in the comments section.

A beautiful house! I admire this man for following his dreams, and to hell with the naysayers.

:eusa_clap Bravo for following his dreams and not those of others :eusa_clap

That is an amazing home, he did such a fabulous job. And good for him for sticking too it :eusa_clap , I am sure many people discouraged the behavior.

I saw this the other day and thought 'wow'!!

That sounds like something I would do!
Very neat and interesting article.

I love that kitchen!

I like that living room set too, great 30s look! I would never go to that much effort to live retro, but I commend him for making the effort.

The living room suite is from here: http://www.artdeco-sofas.com/

Friends had one of their suites. They are, I understand, good quality.

I replied in the comments section and surprise surprise the DM didn't post it!
nice house, as I pointed out in my reply 'quite a few of us live this way'

 

[Miss Tuppence]

Indeed there are a lot of us out there! Well I say I ‘us’ I am doing as much as my circumstances allow!
But I do think he has done a grand job….. However if I was to be picky (sorry, a perfectionist here ) the kitchen cupboards aren’t period along with the other obvious things. The Past Time packaging is new isn’t it?! But I suppose that’s the photographers fault. Quite a positive article too, which makes a change!

I was thinking that I could do without the flat screen TV too. Hidden or not, I'd never turn it on.

Very nice article about a very cool guy. I didn't even bother reading the comments section because I knew there would be some bozos that would annoy me. I really do commend the guy for ignoring naysayers and living life the way he wants to live it. That place is my dream house.

Great house! Especially love the flying ducks on the wall. I have lots of duck things and have been looking for those for my wall!
