Blog Stories Don't Touch the Wood

Don’t Touch the Wood

By Jenelle Etzel, April 9, 2018

One of the best parts of helping our clients make room to live is receiving an email with photos showing the love they have put into their home. Last week Kim and John shared photos of their kitchen remodel part 2. I loved looking back at their home journey and the original blog I wrote about the property when it was first listed. Saving a home’s character makes for unique design and all you need is a little imagination! As a native Portlander, I love finding inspiration in our history.

 

Thanks for sharing the journey with me, Kim! Stories like this are why I opened Living Room Realty in 2009. If you want to speak with an agent dedicated to helping you love where you live, give us call at 503-719-5588.

Long time no talk! Remember when we were house shopping and you mentioned that the walls in our house (the mahogany ones, though I’m sure the drywall ones are nice too) were not to be touched?! Well we just redid our kitchen (version 2) and totally doubled down on the awesomeness of our walls and the vibe of our house.

 

You should come see it in person, but here are some pics. I’m sharing because throughout the entire process I had you in my head. The kitchen feels like it’s always been a part of the house instead of something we just did.
