As a reminder, here’s the before..

This is the siding going up. Using cedar verses hardy gives a more authentic coastal look.

Once painted you can see variation due to the variation in the cedar. Like a box of fine wine, with age it patinas and only gets better.

This front door turned out amazing with it’s side lights and trims. Once all the trims are painted and the wood porch is framed it will really pop.

Here’s my design of the exterior…well some of the details are inconsistent. This is where I can try everything out first. I have literally buried my head in the cape cod/shingle style homes and am now a self-certified expert on their authentic design. I’m a fan of the cape cod look and will probably incorporate it into my own home…some day. I’ll post some pictures of cape cod homes I’m using as inspiration.

And this is what the house looked like as you walk up the driveway. Notice the lack of a front door… confusing.

Ah, here’s the “front” door.. it’s facing the side yard.

But of course, it’s in Holladay so the lot is amazing with lots of potential.

As you can see below we took some before pictures and then created a mock up of the vision that we had for their home. We love being able to show our clients what their home will look like before we actually start the work. It gets everyone involved so excited about the project!

The Kitchen and living room turned out beautifully and have become such warm and inviting spaces for their family. The Nielsons were thrilled with the way it turned out and so are we!
