What’s your style?

So not made in China, huh?

Furniture made out of oak, maple or walnut usually isn't made in China.

In your home, what’s your style? Minimalist, early American, contemporary, Art Deco, European or mid century modern?Personally I’m a mix of contemporary and mid century modern.

pretty much rustic Adirondack.

I would really like to retire up there. NY doesn't tax military retirement, so that might work.

The far north east of West Virginia is supposed to have a similar climate and I will have to compare cost of living data.

I want to find warm weather, low taxes and a coastline near by. In the US that means Texas or Florida.

I had a HS chum who was a timber estimator and lived in the hills of West VA and I was surprised how cold and snowy it did get there. The COL up here varies but it general it's pretty decent. You can get lake property ( maybe not ontario) but lake property for a few hundred grand ( with a nice house. Maybe for 200,000.00 in spots. It wonderful here about 9 months a year but I'd recommend going south for a few weeks, maybe even just to an Air B&B
As you get closer let me know. my daughter's a realtor and a damned good one. I could get more specific info for you.

My furniture is old with some antiques. The electronics are exempt, of course.

I have an old oak table in the dining area, I have an antique rocker and a Queen Anne chair and an antique bedroom set in the guest room. No plastic, no chrome.

I even have a 1930's tire sale banner.

Early Flintstone. Stone and rough hewn log furniture. Maybe a little more Vikingish (Is that a word) than Neanderthal.

Metal axes, not stone?

I know that area. It would be well worth looking at. Western PA (in the mountains) is also good.

Umm, SC fits all three.
