Rebirth of a Classic California Craftsman Bungalow

We've been doing a lot of restoration work on this beautiful craftsman bungalow. The clients originally had us build a custom set of wood bookcases with pillars, styled after the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, that separated the living and the dining room areas. The project then morphed into helping the clients bring this classic bungalow back to as close to its original condition as possible. Check out the progress below.
