Such homes often possess a timeless beauty that beckons careful restoration. "I've worked on many renovation projects where we focused on preserving the character of the home," she explains. "For instance, restoring original cabinetry in a kitchen allows homeowners to retain the charm while enjoying the benefits of modern appliances."

Her approach ensures that each design choice enhances rather than overshadows the home's inherent character.

"It's all about respecting history while making sure the space feels fresh and inviting."

This insight offers a reassuring perspective for those considering a move into an older home.
