Victorian Charmer

This Victorian Painted Lady had been through decades of various renovations when we came on board. We sought to peel back layers to reveal a footprint ready to service a modern family of 5, but with detailing and finishes that honor the original Victorian bones of the house. New windows, doors, trim, and casework were custom milled to match the original. A period-appropriate tin ceiling was installed and the arched opening from the entry was updated and repeated at the kitchen range wall. In the guest suite, the bedroom and bath were re-imagined to be house appropriate with period details married with modern conveniences. Careful attention was paid to adding warmth and layers while still staying edited, and un-fussy.
