Parents Kill Homeowner's Dream Colors. Part of the picture is cut off. You must double click on the picture to see the rug. This charming little house is located in Georgia right next to the railroad tracks. Because of all the soot from the locomotives passing by, the house needs frequent power washing. The homeowner not only wants dark colors to not show the dirt but also wants to match a rug with her favorite colors. The rug, as shown in the after photo, is a southwestern rug with warm rich colors. Coincidentally these colors are also historically accurate for this house. The homeowner was very happy to have her favorite colors displayed on her house in such a nice way until her parents came to visit. The parents manipulated her to repaint using the current yellow and white colors. They did this by offering to pay for the paint job and occasional power washing. A sad ending to some real nice colors.

Client lived in an old, inefficient home that we responsively demolished and replaced with a new, highly efficient home. The client moved into a rental home while their old home was demolished and the new home built. They wanted a home that was in-keeping with the Kirkwood neighborhood and reflected some of the same architectural elements/feel of the old home and others in the Kirkwood neighborhood.

Front of North Caulfield project - considerable work was done to reappoint brickwork and garden space, original features were retained and restored. Veranda tiles were reappointed and brickwork paving was extended and redesigned. This is a good example of Victorian later period row houses architecture. Both the job and the clients were a rewarding experience.
