adding a little old to a brand new place

When you are faced with a brand new home or condo, it is often seen as sterile or boring and perhaps lacks character. But there are many ways you can add the character that many find appealing in older homes. A new space has a lot going for it with all up to code wiring, properly sealed windows, working bathrooms and kitchen, a new roof... While I absolutely love older homes, and as I say, all of the character that comes with it, I also appreciate the benefits of new.

If you want to add some charm to your new place, take cue from these images below. There are many ways that furniture, personal belongings and a few key added architectural details can add the charm, character and appeal of an older home. I mean, if you have an old home, aren’t you still always striving for everything to work like a new home anyway?
