✨Normalize Normal Homes✨
Loving this challenge. We’ve recently moved 1200 miles into this early 90’s home. When I did a face time walk thru the agent talked about us changing the wall paper and taking the built in’s out. I’m leaving everything exactly the way it is. I absolutely love the charm of this home and would never change it. I’m even keeping the old appliances which honestly works better than any new appliances I’ve ever had. It’s the granny decor I live for.
Moving into an older home can be a rewarding experience, especially when it comes with a unique character. Early 90's homes often offer retro aesthetics that remind us of simpler times. One prominent trend is the embrace of original features like built-ins and vintage appliances that often outlast newer alternatives. Instead of rushing to modernize, consider preserving the history that each piece adds to your home. Explore how maintaining the nostalgic aspects, such as wallpaper or outdated decor, can elevate your living space's style while providing warmth and a sense of belonging. Additionally, get inspired by the #NormalHouse and #90saesthetic communities online, where homeowners celebrate similar renovations. They share ideas and motivate each other to appreciate the imperfections that come with age. Old homes not only tell stories through their design but can also enhance our lifestyle by reminding us to slow down, appreciate our surroundings, and incorporate traditions into our modern lives.
I love it!
