1950s Bungalow

Located in Olympia, WA

Completed in February 2024

Our clients, new homeowners of this sweet red brick midcentury bungalow, wanted to finish the basement level to create a cozy family room, two bedrooms and shared bathroom for their boys, and an office. Previous renovations left the feeling fragmented and bland. Like so many of our remodel project, this home no longer had a cohesive or clear story—it had lost its design voice over the years. And it’s always an honor to bring that back and make it even better than ever. We believe we accomplished that with this sweet home for a wonderful family.

What was formerly half unfinished and the rest lackluster, became a full 1200 SF of living space exactly to their request, complete with myriad custom features from millwork to cabinetry, tiled tub deck to gorgeous cushions and pillows for the under-stair nook—arguably the crown jewel of the space. Honoring the best of midcentury, from color pallets, to wood casings and doors, hardware, millwork profiles, wallpaper, tile, profiles and patterns, it’s an invitation back to the best of midcentury with fresh takes and modern functionality for this young family.
