FRENCH COUNTRY ELEGANCE
French Country blends several techniques and styles to convey a relaxed, grown-up allure. French Country incorporates timeless, antique furniture positioned with modern pieces, specifically upholstered seating and curvacious wood accents.
19th CENTURY CHARM
Named after Queen Victoria’s reign of Great Britain and the British colonies from 1837 to 1901, Victorian homes often feature colorful, ornate facades and unique architectural features. We salvaged several architectural period pieces during the renovation, including the embellished millwork details, bay windows, the eclectic assortment of windows, and steep gable roofs.
EXPANDED LIVING SPACE
An addition was added at the rear entry of the home and incorporated a new breezeway, mudroom, and family room. While only 206-square-feet, the addition created a separate, casual entrance, added more space for entertaining, and expanded the new kitchen design.
