Interior Restoration

Winner

andy stees and cheryl olson

Andy Stees & Cheryl Olson inherited a bungalow with damaged plaster, painted woodwork, and a hidden stained glass window. Naturally, Andy and Cheryl wished to restore their home to its original luster. They began in the living room by repairing plaster, restoring windows, and stripping woodwork. During restoration, the couple discovered a hidden stained glass window covered with drywall on the interior and glass block on the exterior. The window was restored and is now the highlight of the room.

 

Honorable Mention
