Homeowners Sandra Ashton and Jamie McGrath have just embarked on a journey: their wedding and the remodel of their house. They live in a 1888 Victorian that has lost all its Victorian charm.The past homeowners stripped it of all its details and replaced it with 1960s siding. The landscaping is non-existent and the paint color is very bland. Our designer, Paul Duchscherer, who specializes in restoring Victorians is here to help. Here's how they accomplish it:
remove aluminum siding
add decorative molding
replace missing banisters on steps
new paint
new garage door
add stained glass house numbers over door
install new front door to match Victorian period
Resources corbels/balistrades
