Had a dream last night where I found this great PDF of house building materials in a timeline with imagery and house styles it was most associated with. I was like I can't wait to share this resource. Woke up disappointed.

In the 1920s stores like Sears and Montgomery Ward would furnish new builds with furniture so that people could see what it might look like in their homes.

It’s my first time having a dishwasher in 12 years and just want to say it ROCKS!! This is the most magical device ever!
One of the most challenging things for me on YouTube is trying to convince an algorithm that stamps are cool. For some reason it was easy on TikTok, but YT just can’t believe a vlog about a stamp convention should be shown to the masses..
I went to a stamp convention?!

This one's about the Shakers. Intentional community and chair builder extraordinaires. I thought I knew about the Shakers, but it turns out like most things I was merely looking at the surface and the depths of knowledge are unlimited. As are the baskets.

This show is really good and making this video gave me an excuse to just think about it for a couple weeks.

Made a little gift guide for YouTube. It's a little collection of things I love, things I want, and things I need to tell someone else about.

My first YouTube video featuring an interview! Talked to the creator of Bring Back Doors. A website that catalogs hotels that do and don't have bathroom privacy.
What happened to bathroom doors?

Happy Halloween! A little quote from Dracula about using teamwork, science, free will to fight a strong murderous enemy!
I had read about the Saltair years ago while on a wikipedia rabbit hole. But last year when I saw the 1962 film Carnival of Souls I realized that it was the same building (sort of). I love when a video is years in the making!

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.
Miss being a bad twitter comedian… have a real gross joke about my period and I feel like bluesky is too classy for it
If you're missing HBO's The Gilded Age you can relive it from the eyes of the ever critical interior decorator, Edith Wharton. Thank you to @queline.bsky.social for editing this video for me! If it seems well done... that's why!
Are the Gilded Age interiors accurate?

Last year YouTube introduced A/B tests for thumbnails and I don't know if I like them. I've used them consistently since then, but I don't love that everyone experiences the video a little differently. So here are all the thumbnails and if YT makes a choice you can be like... ugh they are so wrong.
The New Yorker put out an article in May on 'notable New Yorkers' living rooms. Then I compiled all the photos into a spreadsheet so I could say "89% of 'notable New Yorkers' have white walls."
They’re showing famous people’s living rooms again

My podcast, Someone Lived Here, had its annual episode come out today! It takes you inside the home of writer Sarah Orne Jewett. She wrote beautifully about Maine and was the inspiration for writers like Willa Cather.

Kendra Gaylord@kendragaylord.bsky.social · last yr.I only know of one photo of Harriet Jacobs. It was taken at Gilbert Studios in Philadelphia in 1894. I was curious about the studio and ended up finding this photo of Helen Keller and actor, Joseph Jefferson, sitting on an identical chair in 1902.

Latest video combines: Blue Prince, floor plan books from the 1840s, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, and the story of Harriet Jacobs. Had such a good time making this one!
