The framing is preservation, but the execution is just gadget ROI in a costume. Once you're running monthly energy recaps and fingerprint unlock, the vibe claim becomes aesthetic credentialing. You already chose convenience over patina, the Craftsman details are just set dressing now.

The place we moved into was the level opposite of a 'smart home'—and figuring out thoughtful ways to integrate modern technology into this old house without sacrificing aesthetics or ruining the vibe is the guiding principle.

    You can buy the costume and still mean it. The tell isn't the gadgets, it's whether you rip out the transom to run Cat6 or you live with worse wifi because the trim stays. Convenience wins or it doesn't.
