This is a love story, really. When Anna, Jason, and their sweet pup Tucker moved into their 1970s ranch-style home, they walked in knowing it would require many weekend projects to transform it into a space that worked. Although the three-bedroom house looked classic from the outside, inside, it was an overwhelming mix of outdated styles and materials.

When our upstairs neighbors moved into the top floor of our brownstone in the 1960s—long before we got here—they filled the space with mid-century gems, like Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs, Knoll tables, and a Nakashima piece or two. Then, for 50 years, t…
When our upstairs neighbors moved into the top floor of our brownstone in the 1960s—long before we got here—they filled the space with mid-century gems, like Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs, Knoll tables, and a Nakashima piece or two. Then, for 50 years, they didn’t change a thing. They lived there into their 90s, then died there, within six weeks of each other.
We all know homes like this: snapshots in time, museum dioramas. Perhaps the most famous one of all was the American painter and heiress Huguette Clark’s Fifth Avenue apartment, which was decorated with her collection of dolls and formal furnishings in 1915, and left untouched until 2012. Shortly after she died, the apartment was purchased by a financier who, naturally, gut-renovated it.

When it comes to interiors, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a dramatic before and after. Recently, Schoolhouse friend (and Food52's VP of Creative), Elizabeth Spiridakis Olson, renovated her kitchen, and we couldn’t be more inspired by the transformation. By working smart and going with her creative instincts, Elizabeth leveraged the existing footprint of her 100-year-old home (yes, you read that right) to create a bright and beautiful landscape filled with pattern and color. Scroll below for some fun kitchen ideas and the inside scoop from Elizabeth on the laborious but oh-so-rewarding end result.

Anyone who has watched an episode of Barefoot Contessa is familiar with the bright and airy kitchen in Ina Garten’s beautiful East Hampton shingled barn where the show is filmed. On the other side of the property, though, is a lesser photographed (but equally stunning) farmhouse-style house where the acclaimed cookbook author and TV personality has lived with her husband, Jeffrey, since the ‘90s. It is rare that fans get a peek inside the residence, but earlier this week, Garten blessed her Instagram followers with photos of her newly renovated kitchen, a project she took on during the pandemic.
It has been over two decades since she did a kitchen refresh, and to say we love it would be an understatement. The entire aesthetic is just as elegant and inviting as her cooking, with warm neutrals, crisp whites, and cozy natural materials straight out of a Diane Keaton movie. Like Ina herself, it feels familiar and fabulous, yet not over the top.
