#Throwback: Bygone Home Features

If you're an antique lover, you'll love this post! Antiques and bygone homefeatures are on there way back in, and they're going to be trending all year long. Check out some neat home features that are considered bygone, but not for long!


Telephone Nook

Dumbwaiter

It certainly isn't a nice name, but the dumbwaiter is a bygone home feature that can be an attractive attribute for any modern home. As the name entails, it was used by waiters or butlers to transport goods to another part of the home, but multistory homes could benefit from this feature, too!
