A Family's Thoughful Revovation for Growing Roots

The clients are a family with deep local roots who wanted a more comfortable home as their family grew and a gathering place for family celebrations. The overall intent was to provide better function and space while preserving the intrinsic character of the home. New interior and exterior fixtures and finishes were selected to be cohesive in design, color and texture. The family was communicative, understanding and patient throughout the build. They were an amazing couple to partner with on this large renovation. In the end, it was extremely gratifying to see their family move into and fall in love with their new home.


All the original door and window hardware, HVAC registers and light fixtures were preserved, dipped and stripped of paint, cleaned and polished, then reinstalled.


A combination of Cedar and Douglas Fir was used for window and door casing, exterior lap siding and the back porch wood balustrades where eaves and exposure wasn’t as extreme.


Custom metal hand and guard rails were incorporated on the back porch where the roofline did not cover.  The metal was painted rather than powder coated so that they were was congruent with vintage metal work.


New millwork to closely match existing by McCoy Millwork.


New lighting fixtures by Rejuvenation and Elk Lighting, via Lumens.
