Time for an interior update #renovation

When these clients contacted me they had just purchased her childhood home. The finishes, rooms, cabinets, views, and overall layout were rich with memories and traditions. They decided it was time for an interior update #renovation. So we went to work to update and reimagine the spaces while trying to preserve the historical emotional connections.

The structure of the building is in good shape, but the rooms are smaller than desired and the house has lots of small rooms. The ceilings heights for today’s typical home were low and the house feels dark.

So we worked on an economical way to adapt the spaces to bring in light and to raise the ceiling height. We removed various walls to open up the spaces and modernize the layout.

We are getting cloeser to finish materials each day.
