For this 82 year old home, we paid careful attention to its age. We, along with the owners loved discovering the original shiplap and burlap walls and the original heating – a fireplace – in the middle of the kitchen.

Getting to know the owners better, we learned they liked to watch television and listen to music while cooking, so we changed the remodeling plans and re-prioritized the budget to bring in additional engineering. The result – an open space with a quiet area for the home office, a large kitchen for entertaining and a new exterior opening to the patio and cook’s garden.
