Restoring Character + Adding NEW Elements to an Old House! Hardware, Kitchen Sink & Coffered Ceiling

Hey there! We're Scott and Angelika, a husband/wife team getting into real estate to accomplish our long-term retirement plan on our own terms. Welcome to our TH-cam channel!
We are currently living in Salt Lake City, Utah, we love to DIY, have 2 crazy dogs (Nellie & Rowdy), and are thrilled you are here!
Evenings, weekends and all spare moments are spent updating and working on our recent purchase. We bought a 100-year-old house in Salt Lake City that has not seen a major update since the 1960's.
In this video we tackle some antique door hardware, refinish the original cast iron sink, and spend quite a bit of time adding character to the master bedroom as a nod to the 1920's era from which the home was built.
Keep watching our journey, and we'll continue to share Vintage House renovation updates on the channel.

Does restoring a house to a vintage style boost it’s value or does it make it more attractive to certain buyers or both?

[@arauth200]

Restoration is mostly a labor of love and I think that there is a subset of homebuyers who will appreciate it more than the usual new construction look. But I can't say for sure that we aimed to please a certain kind of buyer. We just decided to what felt right to the home :)
