Tales of Remodeling a Tudor: It's All in the Details

I always love hearing about a former client's experiences in their new houses, especially when it involves making it their own through renovation and various improvements, and thought you might enjoy hearing the same about our home. We moved into a wonderful 1940s Tudor on a tree lined street about a year and half ago. Our home is in good shape and not a total fixer but lacked some details that truly make a home special.
In the first year we pulled up carpet to expose the original hardwood floors, which we refinished.

We added crown molding around the house, painted the living room a wonderful white and, because it's all in the details we added a tiny touch of wallpaper to make an impact.

We added cabinet hardware to the kitchen, tile in the front entry, and wainscoting to the dining room.

I am fortunate to know some amazing trades people (I am more than happy to pass along names!) and found that the work that was done added much needed character to the home. This year we hope to remodel the one full bathroom, details to come at a later date!

What did you find to be the most worthwhile improvement you made to your property?
