"Our house is a 100-year-old Craftsman-inspired bungalow with charming details like original wood floors and wide trim, but the kitchen was unfortunately changed by previous owners to fit the 'gray' trend, which is absolutely not a style that suits our old home," Emma says. "The blue-gray cabinets, gray flooring, and gray walls were a bit uninspired and not our style."
"I took notes from the Craftsman style of our home, but also took notes from my style that I've infused into the rest of the house, which includes vintage and cottage touches," she says. Here are the changes that made a difference.
"If you're looking to ditch the gray in a cookie-cutter home, consider turning first to the floors. That's what Emma and Zack did right upon moving in. They swapped the gray peel-and-stick flooring for a black-and-white vintage tile-looking peel-and-stick," Emma elaborates.
"Someday, we'd love to truly honor our home and replace it with linoleum sheet flooring," Emma says. She and Zack also replaced the trim and floorboards with a wider option to add some historic charm back.
