TACOMA'S HISTORIC DISTRICT AND ALL THINGS OLD!: September 2008

TACOMA'S HISTORIC DISTRICT AND ALL THINGS OLD!

I work many of the Pierce County areas and I have always had an interest in homes and architecture of ALL styles, but I have a special appreciation for the “Grand Ol’ Victorian,” “Warm, Cottage Craftsman,” “Shotgun” and “North End Bungalow,” not to mention, our beautiful Neo-Classical homes. Our historic area is a wonderful mixture of eclectic history. The value of working with someone with a real love of the area in which you live is immeasurable.

QUITE A TRANSFORMATION!

THIS KITCHEN WAS A FUN REMODEL PROJECT and was part of the restoration of a basement apartment in my own home. My very talented husband, Patrick (of Ovation Properties) transformed this eyesore of a basement kitchen in to this cute as heck "Better Homes and Gardens" kitchen. We went back and forth about the colors (that's really my area). Every time he'd say "Navajo White! It's just a rental." I'd say "Navajo White SAYS "Rental." It needs to be warm and homey. Trust me. When we got to the floor he thought I was crazy but, it turned out so cute! And it IS warm and homey.
