Embrace the old!
If you’re lucky enough to own an older, vintage home, you might be tempted to knock away all the original features and start again with a remodel. Removing original features like a picture rail, or a quirky niche, or even a cupboard can sometimes be the opposite to what you should be working with. Replacing the old can be costly and unnecessary, it’s also pretty hard on our planet… so I suggest that you really think about working with what you have before starting again.
Check out these beautiful original windows that we restored for our very old house, they are more beautiful than new PVC windows, also having them restored was a lot cheaper! We also added back in an original picture rail that was removed previously… we restored an old fitted wardrobe and couldn’t be happier with these choices.
