""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.""
""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. "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.""
Homeowners transformed a 100-year-old Craftsman-inspired bungalow kitchen by replacing cool gray finishes with warmer, cottage-inspired elements. They removed gray peel-and-stick flooring and installed a black-and-white vintage tile-look peel-and-stick, with plans to eventually install linoleum sheet flooring. Wider trim and floorboards were added to restore historic charm. Cabinets, walls, and newly installed beadboard paneling were painted to create a cozier, cottage aesthetic. The project took place during the Spring 2024 One Room Challenge and emphasizes honoring the home’s original character through sympathetic materials and simple cosmetic changes.
