Part two of my 1920’s kitchen makeover is where the space really starts to feel finished. In episode one, I focused on giving the original cabinets a fresh coat of paint, and in this video I’m layering in the details that make a historic kitchen feel intentional—new cabinet hardware, vintage-inspired lighting, and the patterned tile floor that ties everything together. This is the part of a renovation that I’m obsessed with, because the right finishes can make old bones feel elevated without losing the charm. I’m walking you through how I chose polished nickel pulls (because they feel classic and crisp in a period kitchen), why I mixed different styles for drawers vs. doors, and how lighting can instantly warm up a room and make it feel more “designed.” Then we get into the floor—my biscuit-toned tile choice and the overall look I was going for: cozy, vintage, and still super livable. If you’re updating an older home, my biggest takeaway is to keep the character, but upgrade the function and the finishes so the space works for how you live now.
