A ’20s Charmer on an Old Military Base
Name: Sarah Location: Fort Thomas, Kentucky We moved into our 1920s home about five years ago, located in Fort Thomas, Kentucky about 10 minutes from Downtown Cincinnati. It used to be an old military base back in the day and we have found everything from old cigarette ads in an old pie safe to coins for a “gentleman’s hotel” to old fruit crates which we kept to use as art and a towel rack in the bathroom. It is an 1100 square foot traditional home from 1920.

What It’s Like to Live in a Eichler “California Modern” Dream House
We toured Hope and Pete’s home a few years ago, and it instantly became a favorite house tour of mine. The couple’s style is breezy, bohemian and effortless — the kind of adjectives I aim for in my own home’s decor. But I also loved their house tour because they live in a mid-century (dream-to-me) home built in 1956 by famed real estate developer Joseph Eichler.
