Mid Century Modern Rambler

 LACEY, WA

Completed 2022

Winner of 5 awards at the 2022 Tour of Homes, Sparrow designed the nearly whole-home remodel on this 1972 rambler which had only minimal updates since it was built. The clients wanted a mix of midcentury and more contemporary design, and you will see both reflected in the space. The scope included a home addition with kitchen with walnut slab cabinets, green handmade zellige tile backsplash, and black granite counters, as well as a mudroom of the garage. We designed a complete remodel of the ensuite with custom vanity and zellige tile, walk-in shower made larger by reclaiming a hall closet, and seamless pebble stone flooring throughout. Sparrow designed custom fireplace screen, storage and bench and the custom storage unit in the entry, both fabricated by Beechtree Woodworks. We also designed a new full lighting plan, which included recessed lighting at the clients’ request, statement chandeliers in the kitchen, dining and primary bedroom and pendant sconces in the primary bathroom; new paint concept for walls and trim based on their color preferences (including no white!); pine tongue and groove ceiling, a new interior and exterior door and trim package, and light fixtures.

The scope also included a new siding concept with Shou Sugi Ban (charred cyprus) siding to incorporate an existing stone wall installed by the clients that run from outside, in.

Our signature is to design to the era in which the home was built and its architectural intent–we were inspired by colors and materials from the late-mid 20th century, from flooring to wall color, cabinetry and tile. Construction by one of our preferred contractors in Thurston County. Total time was 14 months from design to completion.
