I also realized that I never shared these photos of the dining room and hallway in that same project. So many great details.
I think I was waiting because the owner plans to recover the purple couch in a deep blue to match the windows. Might never happen.

Kitchen expansion +

The most important component of this project was rearranging things to make the most of various spaces in a small house. There had been several strange additions over the years that made for a lot of wasted space.
Looking east in this spacious new kitchen with fir cabinets, vaulted ceiling, corner windows, LED lights,
We added about 65 SF and way more storage. The old kitchen was actually a hallway with constant traffic flow through the work area. Now traffic stays away from the main work area.
Kitchen before addition and remodel
1) New closets in the master bedroom 2) More efficient laundry room by moving one door and adding shelves and counter 3) Water heater moved to exterior and utility room converted to pantry 4) Kitchen expanded to keep the traffic out of the work area 5) Easy attic storage created
Nice Big Pantry
Vaulted ceiling creates room for a large pendant light
We also added an attic access stair for even more storage!

John made it back over to San Francisco with the trim piece and installed it this rainy afternoon. It might be a little too nice.

John is working in the shop today setting up his router to replicate Pete’s 100 year old exterior trim. Parts of it is rotten and the painter awaits the replicas so he can finish the job. I will post soon with pictures of the trim installed.

Beautiful New Decks and Screen in Point Richmond

First, a before shot:
Before
The multilevel decks needed replacing, but on the other side of the house was an inspiring curved, streamlined fence:
streamlined, curved fence
We built new decks using Machiche, a more sustainably harvested wood similar to Ipe. We changed the level of the decks to make them more accessible from the living space, eliminated some deck to make room for more garden, and tied the Washington Street side together with a simple clear cedar screen
Here are Some concept sketches:
We await final carpentry details and the work of Erin and her gardener, but the machiche decks and cedar screen (fabricated by Ron Tostenson and his crew) are looking great!
I got a few more photos from the contractor – after he applied the sealer. He is an artist.

This photo does not accurately show the light blond color of ash hardwood flooring, but it does show the beautiful and interesting grain pattern.
