1950s Kitchen Renovation Ideas
We’re getting ready for a kitchen renovation, so I’m sharing a before tour of what our 1950s kitchen looks like now. And check out my design plans to see what we’re changing during the kitchen remodel! Original 1955 Kitchen Cabinets When we first moved in, I thought the kitchen was small and we’d have to do an addition to get a nicer kitchen.

DIY Double Batten Accent Wall
Enhance a short fireplace or short walls by creating a vertical accent wall treatment that tricks the eye and makes your space feel larger. I love a good accent wall. You can paint ’em, nail ’em or wallpaper ’em. But they always add a special touch to any room! Here’s a simple wood accent wall I created in my son’s room not too long ago. And the wall I wallpapered in our living room. I still love this earthy green accent wall in our old bedroom too!😍 So when we first saw Faith and Roberto’s living room for a Today’s Homeowner project, I knew it needed a good accent!

Not by leaps and bounds, mind you, but enough that we now desperately need toy storage in here instead of the playroom. So I’m glad we waited to live here a bit before making any changes to one of the most-used rooms in our home.

Updating Our 1950s Bathroom with Style

You can’t have a post about a bathroom remodel without including what it looked like before! This is how it looked when we closed on the house. Then we stripped the wallpaper, changed out the sconces and mirror and switched out the curtains for frosted windows. And she looked a lot more like this.
