Before and After pictures

We bought this lovely, but somewhat neglected, Craftsman home in the beautiful, historic Laurelhurst neighborhood in Portland, Oregon in 2010. We immediately set to work to find help to transform it into the beauty we knew it could be. The bulk of the main floor restoration was finished in 2011 by Craftsman Design & Renovation. It took a couple months to strip the paint off the woodwork in preparation for staining but we think it was worth it! We continue to plug away at smaller projects ourselves and will post them here as we finish them.

(Getting this page formatted correctly is giving me fits. So please excuse the mess while I figure out this photo layout.)
