100 Year Old House Renovation Projects

The first time I walked into this 100 year old house, it was clear that the bones of the house were amazing and the quality of the construction was excellent. With some redesign of a couple of key rooms, kitchen and bathrooms, I was hopeful I could help this house last at least another century.

We updated and redesigned every single room. Some of those rooms had been renovated in the 70’s, which really looked awkward in a classic stately home built in the early 1900’s. Other spaces hadn’t been touched since originally built, like the 3rd floor attic which housed the original maid’s room.

My goal was to update the mechanics, redesign the floor plan to accommodate modern living, remove the out of character 70’s decor to help this beauty stay relevant for another century.

Here are my projects for this house:
