When taking on a whole house restoration, it’s important to look at incorporating elements that make the house a home. Keeping as much of the original character is an important aspect of what makes a home so special and unique. If there is gum wood trim- keep it! If there is original wood floors- keep it! If the original doors are restorable- keep them! If these elements aren’t in a condition that is restorable search out elements that are the era of the home and incorporate them into your design. All the following pictures are from a whole house restoration we completed in the St. Clair area of Hamilton.
