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

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.
