A Storybook Home
This storybook home required much needed attention during a remodel project. The structural elements of the home were dilapidated and required major improvements. Some of the interior spaces were realigned for the new owners. Overall, the home was modernized with the latest technologies while maintaining the historical integrity of the original architect William Yelland.
Architect: Stephen Sooter

added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to Cast a Spell With Outdoor Lights
If you're using a single lantern, or if you want to make a big impact with your lighting choice, bump the size up to one-third the height of the door. When in doubt, go a little larger. A too-small fixture can destroy the look of an entryway.
