I just bought a house from 1959, and while it's solid, it has that vintage feel that reminds me too much of my grandma's place. I'm saving up for bigger renovations, but I'm curious what small, cost-effective upgrades you've made in your own homes to give them a more modern vibe. What are some easy updates to consider?
