A step by step account of 4 months of blood, sweat and maybe some tears.
The Photographer Came and This Was The Result :)
Complete Renovation. ALL new systems! c. 1922 American Foursquare Home in Richmond Va’s “Northside”
Taking off the cheap vinyl and storm windows bought this home back to the way it appeared when originally built. The “two tone” texture of the exterior with lap board below and cypress cedar shingles above creates visual interest that was lost when the vinyl was added.
