This couple needed help selecting all of their finishes for their new construction home. We started the project with tweaking and modifying the plan to better suit their needs. It helped make the experience easy and fun while taking out the stress and worry feeling like they were making mistakes. The end result was they now live in the home of their dreams!

This 1790 farmhouse had received an addition to the historic ell in the 1970s, with a more recent renovation encompassing the kitchen and adding a small mudroom & laundry room in the ’90s. Unfortunately, as happens all too often, it had been done in a way that was architecturally inappropriate style of the home. We worked within the available footprint to create “layers of implied time,” reinstating stylistic integrity and un-muddling the mistakes of more recent renovations.

Attend green building general contractor GREEN POWER 4 TEXAS' SOLAR [BOOT CAMP] course to learn how homeowners can turbo charge their renovations, avoiding costly mistakes during financing, design, procurement, construction, operations, maintenance and disposal. One insight: we relocated all existing roof penetrations to the north roof face to free up the south face for a clean solar module installation.

So often clients are happy to focus on design details in a dedicated media room but tend to let things slide in the living room. This is unfortunate since the majority of their entertainment time is spent there. Compromise starts with the typical TV over the fireplace, a conspicuous mount and visible components. Then there are compromises in sound by using a sound bar, that although better than built-in TV speakers due to it’s limited size, does not have the ideal speaker separation needed for better stereo and surround sound. This client moved into this house with a clean slate and a desire to skip all those mistakes.

One day in our yard I noticed these two reclaimed timbers sitting side by side on top of a pile of timber. The roman numeral VIII and the 1E shown in this photograph were how timber frames of old were marked for assembly. Hewn timber of old was neither straight, square nor flat, so the joinery wasn't interchangeable. To avoid mistakes when raising the frame later, joiners scribed marks into timbers that were fit to each other, or married. © Carolina Timberworks
