I would have thought you wanted to go back to simpler times. My worry about that kind of life would be medicine and hygiene. But I'd love to have a farm with a forge and a workshop. That would be life. And of course, electricy and running water. I went to a similar museum in Sāo Paulo like 10 years ago. Around here we have preserved two houses form poets of the 20th century but the houses are colonial. So maybe they were build around the 1600s or so.
All that work for the needs of the family and keeping themselves alive is a way different model of life than our usual thing. Taxes and greed bleed people out from what they have. It is incredible. But that's the way it is nowadays. However, I bet taxes were still an issue over there during the 18tj century.
What would be your ideal setup for a house during that era? Would you have a stonewall in your bedroom?
Hmm, maybe a stone wall in some of the rooms, but most importantly, a fireplace with wood and a piano in one of the rooms. :)
Sound lovely. Also quite expensive. Piano on a room? Maybe more like a harpsichord.
