I thought you meant people. As long as they are benevolent! We know the Hoovers are. I love art, all I have are prints, but I have one large real one over the sofa painted by one of a group of artists known as "The Highwaymen", and their things are quite valuable now. Maybe we should start an "Off Topic" art thread.

That would be a great idea.

I have a few neat things as well.

Hi John!

Wonderful pics, and I love your house.

I have the Convertible that's second from the left in the first picture; it's my favorite Convertible!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

the 1076

It's my favorite too. The first one to save in a disaster. God forbid
Jewelcor, $59.99... $63.00 with tax. Still have the receipt, etc... it was a clearance floor model... no box then, bought white 1031 tools. "Happy Dance"

Hey John, Could you please post the picture of the convertible 67 that you painted with a brush. If so then I will show one of my painting disasters with a paint roller.lol

That wasn't me in the "See It Clean" videos. That was Jeff Parker. And yes, he did do an excellent job with the videos!

Wowsa..I;m in awe

Furniture is amazing
All the ball & claw feet
fiddle back chairs
handcarving
Rug is moderne chinese
but
I love old houses
grew up in a 100 plus year old house
nothing grand
but its true
sometimes the walls
they do seem to talk

LOL

 

[gottahaveahoove]

a few more, anyone feeling blue??

here are some

 

[gottahaveahoove]

thanks,

there are a few 75+yr old Chinese rugs elsewhere in the house. Not in the public rooms. The walls do indeed talk. The house was built on top of an old Indian burial ground. 300 feet below is a filled in coal mine.Needless to say, I get company. When we'd get unexpected company, my late mother would say, "Well, I hope they ate".When she was told she was terminal, her response was, "Well, Heaven MUST be great. No one ever comes back, and, everyday there's someone new coming".

My grandma has 1 similar to this but it has no headlight. Is that machine rare then? I just thought I would ask.
Thanks!

What a wonderful collection! We have alot of the same models. My friend Victor and I nicknamed the full hood Hoover in the first picture Mocha Latte, I guess for the color scheme. You have a great house too.

Wowee!

John -

Your house and your Hoovers are wonderful. My favorite is also the yellow-hooded convertible. I have the paisley bag stored away for when I finally get a house again, then I'm going to go hunt down the rest of it. It was one of the first vacuums I owned, too, like you. And your yellow DAM is beautiful! I wish Hoover had made more yellow vacuums! John L
