Hang up some stainless steel and you have a modern look, hang up some cast iron and you have a western look, hang up some wood you have a rustic/cabin look.

Hello,Can anyone offer any advise on turning a split level into a modern colonial?

This is not an exact science because you can never know 100% of what is wrong with the property nor is the calculator spot on but it will certainly get you in the ballpark. 

Purchase price: $3,200 Cash invested: $20,000 Sale price: $80,000 We purchased a 1984 Blue Bird school bus and turned it into a beautiful and very functional rustic modern apartment.

Perhaps, more than anything, I'm looking for books and resources chronicling the history of Craftsman homes or showcasing modern restorations.

This is more of an art than a science but good luck and you'll figure it out.  

Once I got over the traditional thinking process that many of us grew up with and embraced the modern REI mindset of leverage and equity growth, I was able to pursue REI.

personally i think those cabinets are dope, but i really dig mid century modern style.

Are their any unique modern materials that are in the same price range of linoleum/laminate but better looking?
