BUILT IN 1920 IN TRIADELPHIA, WEST VIRGINIA, Bambi Costanzo's home has been a "passion" project.
"I've been here since 1996 and have been lovingly restoring and adding onto it since," Bambi says.
Her pantry shows just how much character this 100-plus-year-old home has. The pantry used to be a closet leading to the basement, but Bambi transformed it into the perfect pantry, which now holds many of her cherished treasures.
She ripped up the linoleum floors to reveal the original wood flooring underneath.
"It's worn and full of holes, but I think it just adds to the charm," Bambi notes.
She painted a striking checkerboard pattern directly onto the wood for added interest. She also built the plate rack and the table that holds an assortment of her favorite vintage items.
