A 60s House Gets a Beautiful Makeover

Sometimes people don’t plan on buying a house but then stumble upon something unique and it becomes their new dream. The story of this 60s house makeover has a similar beginning.

Hillary Stark and Johnny Musselman went antique hunting at an estate sale. They saw a house that hadn’t been touched since the 1960s. This architectural treasure was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and they took it.

The front living room windows were one of those things that immediately caught the eye.

Their goal was to modernize the look a little but to maintain the architect’s vision.

According to Hillary and Johnny, the flooring was one of the greatest challenges during the remodel, because the level of the concrete slab was different in some rooms.

The kitchen got a beautiful modern transformation. The couple removed the original range hood, the fiberglass ceiling tiles, and square lights. They also painted the room to freshen it.

The couple was very glad that the house was finished in 1965 and they were only the second homeowners.

Like many people nowadays, I love to explore new places. My favorite type is slow travelling, when you can really blend in with locals and learn about new cultures and languages. But I think there are also perfect times for enjoying freshly baked pastry, a cup of fragrant coffee, and a good movie in the comfort of your own home. I guess I'm kind of a cultural omnivore, and I watch different types of movies, but the ones about art and food inspire me the most!
