Back to EpisodesA ranch is not a cottage (and it never will be).
Description
There are key difference between cottages and mid-century ranch homes. Your ranch is not a cottage, so steer clear of cottage style updates.
In many ways American homes changed more between 1930 and 1950 than they have since. Part of the reason I find ranches so interesting is how modern they are in their essential nature. Dated fixtures and finishes aside, a ranch built in 1952 is essentially a modern home.
In Today's Episode You'll Hear:
- How ranches and cottages are related.
- Where the two styles came from.
- The hallmarks of cottage design that do not belong in your mid-century ranch.
