Preservation meets design
Want to update your old home or building without losing the character that made you fall in love with it in the first place?
Most people who choose older places are drawn to the solid construction and one‑of‑a‑kind details that have already stood the test of time. The challenge can be making changes that are both sustainable and beautiful, while still honoring what makes the building special.
Other professionals’ first inclination may be to replace rather than restore or repurpose what already exists—even when preservation is still an option. I help you take a big picture look at your goals, the "presenting problems" and applicable resources so you can make decisions that support your home's character & a design that you love. From historically informed paint color selection to creatively integrating old with new- Vintage Walnut Design has you covered. I can't wait to hear about your project!
