Fantasy home idea (house, Craftsman, plan, floor)

[victimofGM]

Have an architect use the design of a classic style craftsman home like from the 17 to 18 hundreds. Make modifications to the design to incorporate modern technology (insulation, electricity, plumbing, & HVAC). Higher craftsmen to produce those pieces by hand for the old style touch.

I used to live near a fellow who wanted to replicate his grandmother's 1920s Craftsman, but to meet current code. He went ahead with the house after dreaming about it for a while. He spent more than what one would think is market value for that house, but it's really nice. She had re-done the kitchen in the 1950s, so the contractor's architect designed the kitchen with plastic laminate. The laminate had a pattern of boomerang shapes.

1950s design? Hope they didn’t also put in shag carpet.

Only the kitchen mimics the 1950s. The house is otherwise a 1920s replica. White oak flooring, primarily.
