The previous front yard marked with just fence post. |
A grand entrance, arched arbor and gate made from scratch and assembled using tenon/mortese joinery and oak dowel pins. |
Notice the original stair railing are just 2"x4" wood. The porch slats are plain as can be. Is this Victorian or a barn house? See the cat? He got booted once we took ownership...just kidding. |
Now this is more Victorian! Lots of character on the slats and stairs, the posts were pieced together from scratch and the two tone steps give a nice contrast. |
Previous door and hallway, boring! |
New door made out of solid mahogany and cut glass gives more light to the hallway. Wainscoting and door trims were installed to compliment the _” oak hardwood floors. |
Previous dining room not so formal. |
Trimming out all the doorways, window along with crown molding and wainscoting makes this dining room more formal and enjoyable for entertaining guests during dinner time. |
The previous look of the kitchen was so 70ish. |
Updating the kitchen with new colors, floor tiles, countertop, pantry and paneled doors makes this kitchen comfortable cooking your meals. |
The previous look of the stairway was covered with carpeting for good reasons… |
Color matching the hardwood floors and two toning the steps gave this tired looking old stair new life and its own personality. |
Previous stair railing made with 2”x4” wood and covered with sheetrock didn’t provide much stability and safety. |
Using turned spindles and posts, and railing opened up the hallway giving it more character and glamour to the second floor hallway. |
Couldn’t do much thinking in this room, not too appealing. |
Trimmed windows, subtle colors, crown molding and oak hardwood floors makes this an elegant and comfortable room to work or read a book in. |
A custom made planter box and new curved pathway gave this short journey to the front doorway a little more pleasant. |
Trimmings built from scratch gave the front of the house life and character with different curves and multi-color scheme, the pre-existing draped woodwork was given a second color tone with a touch of gold to highlight the existing beauty |
The interior trimming on the door were assembled piece by piece (not from a kit) |
windows were trimmed the same way. |
