Housing

In the 18 century, people did not have the money to buy, or build expensive houses, but wealthy people got their houses built out of brick, or clay.
They did not have lots of rooms, but they did have a cellar. In the cellar they kept fruits, and vegetables at a cool temperature.
They did not have a lot of furniture. They kept a chest for storage and a table and chairs; dinning ware was stored in the chest. They also had a trestle for storage. They had benches located around the fire place. Sometimes they used the big fireplace for cooking. They also had beds that had trundles underneath them. (Trundles were a pullout bed.) Bed clothes were sheets, covers, pillows, and pillow cases. Sometimes they used feather beds.
The window frames had leather hinges so that they could close the windows. Rugs were sometimes used for window coverings or bed coverings.
