In Our Element

There is no denying the charm of the compact, inner city home with a quaint porch and traditional details. Unfortunately, with that comes out dated, not-so-charming interiors.

Much like the main floor, the clients were ready to change things up – in a big way.   We reconfigured the space so that square footage was no longer being wasted. This made […]

During the summer we had shared an intro to our Scenic Acres Renovation {click here to read!} and today we are ready to share Part One of the completed project! Since August, construction wrapped up, completion lists were created and deficiencies were handled… all with the exception of one pesky “very” extended door strike, but there is […]
