The Renovation Guide
Our annual Renovation Guide is meant to be your handbook for updating your home properly. There are a lot of decisions that go into maintaining these homes: flooring, lighting, windows...Should this wall move or go away altogether? Can the tile be salvaged, or is it better to start from scratch? In this issue, we have homes that span the range of these choices. They illustrate projects large and small, from homes that contained a trove of original features to homes that didn’t but were rife for enhancements that infused them back in.
Along with our experts sharing their insights about renovating every room and our editors’ picks for some products that should help you along the way, we hope you find the muse you need to keep reviving your mod home visions.
