glendora craftsman
Our clients purchased their first home, a one hundred year old Craftsman in need of major reconfiguration. At roughly 2,500 square feet, the house came with a long wish list and a set budget. Working closely with the clients, we developed mood boards to guide a contemporary farmhouse aesthetic that could flow throughout the interiors. To transform a layout that once felt disconnected, we opened key walls to invite light and create a better sense of continuity.
The kitchen quickly became the heart of the project, serving as both a space for family life and a hub for their business, so we designed it to be beautiful and highly durable for large scale cooking. Across the rest of the home, we layered in custom details that restored warmth and character to this classic Craftsman.
