It still had some of its historical charm but had been renovated enough that it didn’t feel like an overwhelming project (this being her first home, after all). However, the kitchen, which was renovated in 2022 (after being “very 2000s beige,” as Anna describes it), was a bit over-renovated for her taste.

A vintage-inspired kitchen? We love to see it. But a dated kitchen? Hard pass. Daniela Sanchez, founder of Rose House Talent Agency, had a kitchen that fell into the latter category; in fact, the room (sans appliances) was original to the 1979 home. “‘Dated’ would be an understatement,” Daniela says of the original kitchen.
