PROJECTS
OLD HOUSES ARE FULL OF CHARACTER TO BUILD UPON- WE LOVE THEM.
RECOMMENDATION: HAVE ALL DEMOLITION, SANDING, AND PLASTER WORK DONE WITH YOUR FAMILY SAFELY CAMPING SOMEWHERE ELSE. IT IS NOT HEALTHY TO STAY (I KNOW).

Log house had been made into 6 apartments- it was totally
gutted for this restoration.
FEATURED IN OLD HOUSE JOURNAL



Instead of putting on an addition, the house was reconfigured. The Kitchen became the Entry and Sitting Room, the original door became the side door (the Turnpike rendered it useless in 1948), the attached Slaughtering Shed became the Family Room, and the old Parlor became the room you see here.
THIS KITCHEN WAS
DESIGNED FOR SERIOUS CANNING.
THE GARDEN IS OUT WINDOW.

TURPENING RESIDENCE AND STUDIOS
A FUN HOUSE FOR THE DETAILS AND SPACES
We restored the front facades, brick walks, and limestone curbs and played with the rest.
This Outdoor Kitchen/Porch was a solution to
the nat problem- they do not fly under roofs.
Since there are no misquotes here we were able
to live outdoors until Thanksgiving- it has a classic wood burning stove.
