Fun Fact: A Two-Phased Transformation

This historic home’s transformation was a journey in two exciting phases. Initially, the clients moved in and worked with us to refresh their space with mainly cosmetic upgrades. After enjoying their revitalized home for a few years, they returned to us for a more extensive renovation—preserving the beloved elements from the first project while modernizing other areas to meet their evolving needs.
