Mid-century modern (MCM) design gained prominence in the 1950s to 1970s, captivating fans of retro aesthetics. Buyers often seek authentic MCM homes, yearning for original kitchen elements like knotty pine cabinets and vintage ranges. However, these features may not always align with modern safety standards or practical living. Experts highlight risks associated with outdated materials, such as vinyl asbestos tile, which demands careful removal. The allure of original kitchens may fade as homeowners encounter inconveniences and safety hazards, prompting a reevaluation of renovations to preserve both style and safety.
