Joanna was inspired by the arched door on this small, 1927 brick home. Restoring that single original feature – which had been concealed by an add-on porch – helped inform her design plan for the entire home.

The key to the remodel, according to Joanna, was in staying true to the home's 1920s roots and not making it simply look like new construction.

Arched inserts were added to built-in cabinets using a design that mimics that of the new ironwork on the renovated front porch. Arches became a defining theme, as seen here in the dining room. The motif was repeated elsewhere in new custom features.

A framed rendering of the design plan is featured above the fireplace in the newly remodeled living room.
