The heart of the home, the fireplace, received special attention as well. We meticulously constructed a brick fire pit, using the original chimney bricks. Each brick bore witness to decades of fires and stories, and now, they were given a new purpose. Original beams that had weathered the test of time became the foundation for a remarkable stained-glass sliding barn door, handcrafted by a talented local artist. The door not only served as a functional element but also as a captivating piece of art. Outside, the front porch was transformed into a charming retreat by hand-stenciling intricate patterns, adding personality and warmth to the space.

The successful restoration of this once-neglected home stands as a testament to the transformative power of preservation, showcasing its renewed charm and serving as a reminder that history, no matter how forgotten, can always be cherished anew.
