Our Approach:
Built in 1930, utilizing superior craftsmanship of its era, it has some marvelous architectural details.
The living room features 13-foot ceilings crowned by a 14-inch high, ornately carved cornice. The dining room boasts a vaulted arch ceiling. And, there are charming stained and leaded glass windows throughout.
The house is located in one of the most desirable Seattle neighborhoods and overlooks a park. It was simply dowdy and in need of complete restoration: systems, colors, surfaces - everything!

The copper-painted, valulted arch dome of the dining room's ceiling helps to create a perfect setting for sumptuous dinner parties.
Featuring furniture from Grange's St Tropez collection, this is a wonderful social spot.
With easy access to the kitchen, BBQ, and the garden, it's a truly magical place to share a meal.
It looks like it's been here for centuries!
A place to sit and take in the view.....
We glazed the walls and chose Parisian-style furniture.
In keeping with the French style of the home, we created a bistro atmosphere in the kitchen by installing black and white floor tiles, wood shutters, painted cabinets, vintage reproduction light pendants, and lots of copper.
