""Our house was built in 1948, but unfortunately, over time, a lot of the original character was removed. With each room we renovate, we are always trying to find affordable ways to add character back in.""
""When we moved into the house, the guest room was bright blue and had damaged wood vinyl flooring, missing closet doors, holes in the walls, outdated wood trim, and a damaged door. The room felt abandoned, cold, dirty, and neglected.""
""We couldn't save them unfortunately. We ended up painting them with KILZ primer to get rid of lingering smells and then topped it with a bright white. I think down the road an interesting tile floor or wood flooring would really make the room feel complete but for now, the painted white floors add to the charm of this old house.""
Jordan Gilbertson and her husband Tony are renovating their 1948 home, focusing on the guest bedroom that had fallen into disrepair. The room featured outdated decor, damaged flooring, and a neglected appearance. They removed the old vinyl flooring, which revealed further damage, and opted to paint the floors white to enhance the room's charm. Their renovation strategy emphasizes affordable updates, primarily through paint, to bring back the character of the space while maintaining a budget-friendly approach.
