Keep the Craftsman, but update the look.

last modified: 9 years ago

I love my home. It's everything I've wanted for sometime now. However it was built in 1957 and It has so much character, I don't want to make a lot of changes. However, I do need help with restoration without taking away from the architecture of the craftsmanship of my home, especially in the kitchen and bathroom area. I don't have a big budget. Any Ideas are welcomed. Thanks! .

Hi, your home looks lovely and charming. I agree to keep the character. Sometimes all that is needed to bring up to date is more decor than anything. Ex: window coverings, new paint, removing wall paper etc. I think some photos rather than video would be more helpful to offer more specific advise.
