[quote=Anonymous]We just purchased a 1920s bungalow-style home that still has some beautiful historic details (claw foot tub! stained glass windows! coffered ceiling! decorative room dividers! crystal doorknobs!). However, the previous owner made many design choices that do not align with the age of the home (horizontal metal railing. cork floors. lots of ikea lighting...). We will be doing a lot of renovation, including an addition with more bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and, a kitchen not too far down the line. I'd like to draw inspiration from the home's original character.

My question is, how do you do a new, modern home that still has the vintage, historic touches? My husband basically said, "why should we redo the house to make it feel old?" I feel like these choices are classic, stand the test of time and make sense with the style of the home. Are there any bloggers or Instagrammers out there you'd recommend who do this well? Any inspo pix you could share? What finishes/items would you add to keep with this modern, vintage vibe?

Thanks!
