Purchasing an Existing Home | How to right the wrongs of past owners

Dear Alice | Interior Design

We see a lot of homes in all the work we do and in some of the remodels there are some things that you’re just inheriting. When you purchase a home like this, you have to get really good at planning because it’s not inexpensive to redo the various things you want changed, but there’s a lot of architecture and a lot of things you wouldn’t do today, but they did yesterday. So now it’s your turn to make it right and we think the majority of people are likely in this position who are listening to our podcast right now, so listen in as we give our opinions and expertise on what you should do when you inherit architecture. 

 

  • Inheriting architecture 9:10
  • Custom built-ins with little budget 11:05
  • Older homes and what’s so great about them 20:45
  • Analyze the way that you live 22:00
  • A mid-century jewel and pulling fashion in 31:15
  • Sometimes you will need to start over 34:10
  • Celebrate the good 38:05
  • Making existing architecture yours 41:15

 

“What do you do when you have custom built-ins in the home you purchased and you don’t have the budget to rip it out and rebuild it? How to repurpose, optimize, camouflage, style, paint? Here’s my dilemma, a built in structure between two pillars that separate the kitchen and family room.” 11:16
