Home is where morning coffee is relished in a sun filled breakfast nook before heading out for the day. It is where the children are tucked into bed in their adorable rooms decorated with love. It is where that evening glass of wine is relished by the fire after all the chores have been done. Home is where we go after a busy day to feel safe and secure. It is where we relax and where we can truly be ourselves. At home is where we celebrate milestones and holidays. Home is where memories are made.
What I have come to realize is that a historic home home is not necessary if you are longing for character. So lets encourage our homes become that original charm filled gem that it is begging to become. So if you are experiencing "model home syndrome", these ideas are your cure.
Changing up doors is a simple, smart and inexpensive way to turn up the charm in your builder grade home. This is just one of the many ways to kick up the character and turn your house into a home.
Antique Doors
Usually builders install typical hollow-core doors in new homes. While it may take some time to get them all replaced it will definitely be worth the effort to change out the ordinary with antique doors. These beautiful relics can be found at most resale shops at a fairly good price. It might require some digging and resizing of the older door to fit the jamb of newer model homes, but the investment truly pays off in the end. Peppering your home with little antique details will take your home from bland to bold.
