Keeping the Character

When the homeowners bought their 1910 Craftsman, they loved the classic details of the beautiful built-ins, fluted casings, and original hardwood floors.

Working with an architect they opened up the spaces, like the eat-in kitchen and adjacent family room, but kept the classic details.
