It looks like all the interior wood surfaces were irreversibly stained to mach the occupants low end danish modern furniture. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's just the effect of age, lighting, and different film stocks. I am glad (but surprised) they didn't paint over the brick fireplace as well.Smackmonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900985571619700335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-49767909982529357982010-11-20T17:19:45.090-08:002010-11-20T17:19:45.090-08:00My son happened to run across this blog entry and ...My son happened to run across this blog entry and I had to comment!
