1930’s Cottage Industrial style home tour

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Jun 28, 2013

I was so excited when Debbie asked to feature my home tour at Debbiedoo’s!
My little 1930s home is a work in progress, I’ve been working away at it for 3 years now and things are beginning to shape up!

I started with my kitchen.

It needed cabinets, counters and appliances.

I bought stock cabinets and counters to save money and did a galley plan.  I brought my sideboard into the kitchen for additional storage and counter space and painted it with a homemade paint that gives a chalk like finish.

Then I hung my pot rack on a wall beside my stove.  It gives me so much hanging space and it’s so handy!
Here’s where the pot rack started out!
I built some shelves from reclaimed wood and brackets I bought from Ikea.
I painted my bedroom and all the furniture in it, built a headboard from a vintage 5 paneled door and bought new linens for the bed.  So love the space now!

Then I tackled my spare bedroom, making curtains and shams from tea towels I got in a clearance bin.

I added a shelf desk and painted some grain sack stripes on it to dress it up.

My laundry room was next on my list.  I added a closet organizer and attached some salvaged doors to the tower to hide the “uglies”.
I dragged my potting bench indoors and hung seed catalog covers on my dryer to doll it up a bit.  My curtains are another clearance bin find – a twin sheet that I folded in half and attached to the a rod with clips.
My biggest challenge so far was tearing apart the original 1930s bathroom and rebuilding the whole thing from scratch.

I painted all the ugly orange wood trim in the house.  It looks amazing now!

I have plenty left to do, but I’m so happy with how the house looks now.  Hope you enjoyed the tour!

 

Thank you Anne!

You have made some amazing transformations.

I love it all, so cozy, so warm and friendly.

thank you.

Please pay Anne a visit

    Anne’s home is wonderful and I love her style! Jealous of her laundry room with all that storage and folding space. Also love that bistro chair in her bathroom.
