The first thing you notice about this house is the Greene and Greene
gable treatment. The exterior would be a simple box without the
porch and gable, so we took special consideration into how to best
finish this area. We wanted to mantain simplicity, but avoid the
unpainted cedar shingles and skinny trim that have become ubiquitious
in renovated gables. This pattern adds depth and draws
the eye to the house with the reversal of the home's body color
accented with the chocolate bracings and rafter tails.
The porch itself boasts new, substantial railings that echo the
gable, and a beautiful, salvaged Craftsman front door.
