1950's Home Remodel

This afternoon I would like to share a home remodel that is very special to me. For starters I'm in love with anything old and vintage and I'm thrilled to share this home with you!

One of our builders/remodelers brought this beauty to us at Cherry City Interiors & Design for all of his interior needs, including carpet, vinyl, countertops and design ideas...just to name a few! I was fortunate to be brought on to help with product selection and it grew from there-- both my adoration for the house and the design!

Located in Salem, across from the historic and notable Oregon State Hospital, this house was in poor shape and needed much TLC. That's exactly what we gave her; a whole new makeover--from top to bottom!











The process for selecting materials for your home is quite simple but can be extremely overwhelming-- and we understand that COMPLETELY!!. Start from the floors and move upwards, always coordinating each room to create a seamless flow--this is especially true in a small home but is relevant with any size house. Each room should feel somewhat connected to the next.


This can be done through several ways and are listed below:

1. Same Flooring- In this house, the entry had a beat up parquet floor which connected to a beautiful original hardwood floor. They both were in dire need of a sprucing up! 

2. Paint Color Scheme- By using the same paint throughout, each room visually merges with the other. For the kitchen, the heart of the home, we decided to paint the cabinets a beautiful and striking 50's green! Boy, it took your breath away and brought you right back into the 1950's era.
