Old homes are architectural and visual delight. Vintage look and feel of all nooks and corners, fixtures, door knobs, light switch, pet entrance, mesh for breeze, wall moldings, borders, wall papers, floor and ceilings, Kitchen shutters, window shutters, finishing, tiles, patterns. Oh the list is lengthy. While searching for reasonably priced home in Western New York, came across many beautiful homes and that one do not want to change. That old charm and functionally sound fixtures are hidden treasures. Architectural Delights found in Old Homes are Worth Retaining!

Thinking of remodelling your old home keep few things in mind while planning and buying items for home decorations. Retaining some vintage fixtures and moldings you ignored earlier are worth retaining and increase the value of your home in long run. Antique chandelier, wood burning fireplace, wall papers, painted walls, in-built wooden book racks and reading nooks add to amazing interiors!
