"Lindsey Badenhop, a content creator and owner of Milk and Honey Clothier, had always dreamed of living in a historic home. And although owning an 1889 Queen Anne (which is on the National Register of Historic Homes) was a dream come true, the whole house wasn't exactly dreamy. For instance, the galley kitchen was renovated multiple times - once in the '50s and again in the '80s - and was only 130 square feet,"
"Lindsey and her husband, Cory, knew they had to make some necessary changes to make it work better for their family. After living in their home for a while, they realized that utilizing the formal dining area would create a larger space for the kitchen, so they added cabinetry along the walls there and relocated the sink, fridge, and stove, to that room and still managed to carve out space for a dedicated dining table in the living room area."
""We didn't exactly set a budget, but we both knew if we were going to make it happen, it had to be done spending as little money as possible," Lindsey says of her and Cory's kitchen reno. "We saved a ton of money on our appliances by sourcing vintage pieces, like our stove and refrigerator." Along the way, they picked up plenty of skills, like how to turn a standard dishwasher into an integrated one"
Lindsey Badenhop and her husband purchased an 1889 Queen Anne home listed on the National Register of Historic Homes. The original galley kitchen had been updated in the 1950s and 1980s and measured only 130 square feet, which proved too small for their family of seven and felt claustrophobic. The couple expanded the kitchen by using the formal dining room, adding cabinetry and relocating the sink, refrigerator, and stove, while creating a dining area in the living room. The original galley will become a pantry later. They saved money by sourcing vintage appliances and learned renovation skills such as integrating a dishwasher and restoring older appliances.
