I enjoyed this digital home tour of a vintage house made beautiful. The article explains where decisions were made and where money was tight. What a pretty, functional, old house! Enjoy.
This is right down the street from me. A neighbor of mine in real estate showed me a link of this blog a while ago. She did a wonderful job, super handsome Craftsman that they only made better.
I really wanted to read this blog, but all of the video advertising flashing all over the place and moving while I was scrolling was driving me nuts. I understand bloggers wanting to make money on advertising on their sites, but they always lose me when they use those irritating video ads that use up all the RAM on my laptop, too.
End rant. It did look like a nice make-over, from what I did see before I gave up.
I loved her choices. Particularly impressed that she decided to redo and KEEP the kitchen cabinets. I would like to see that more often... IMHO, an original kitchen, if functional, is part of the bones of the house that should grow old with it if possible, not get ripped out because the color is now 'out of style'.
And.. btw... I saw no ads. I must be doing something right with ad blockers!

Agree.
You know what I really cannot understand? The pantry kitchen. UGH. I cannot believe someone creates a pantry kitchen because they are afraid to dirty the main kitchen. WTH?!
While I love her kitchen and the attention to detail, I cannot get behind the idea that the kitchen is nothing but a show pony. Read about 3/4's of the way down where she discusses the use of a "pantry kitchen" so she and her children can make toast, cook, etc without dirtying her main kitchen. She has a sink, refrigerator, dishwasher,microwave, etc in her large pantry.
