8 Ways to Update an Antique Home That Don't Take Away From Its Charm

Someone in the '80s made the horrible decision to remodel our bathroom, which had been original to the house. Gone were the mosaic tile and a simple-white claw-foot tub and walls. The tub was painted pink, to match the new flooring, and the walls were drip painted with turquoise and pink paint. While I understand that this was trendy then, it instantly dated the remodel and ruined our walls. I would kill for the simplicity of the original bathroom, and it was costly to get the space somewhat back to normal.
