A ranch is not a cottage (and it never will be).

Season 16 Episode 10 Published 2 years, 2 months ago
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.
