<p>You don't have to totally destroy the character of your home in order to update and renovate.

Also, there is a character that needs to be maintained in order to have continuity throughout the whole house. First isolate the elements that need to be echoed in each room, such as the trim style, the lighting and the classic furniture pieces, then work to preserve these elements while updating the framework. Try to use as many of the old materials as possible by repurposing them in new ways. Stick to these tips and Instead of knocking down cobwebs with a blow torch, you will be breathing new life into an old classic.</p>
