You’ve seen the process. Now here’s the result.

After years of renovation, the Quincy Cottage is finally complete. What started as a dark, chopped-up home with awkward additions is now a bright, open space designed for real living.

We walk through the full transformation, from removing walls and restructuring the second floor to adding skylights, rethinking the kitchen layout, and building a functional, modern home inside a 120-year-old shell.

This project wasn’t just about finishes. It was about decisions. Trade-offs. And working with the right people to bring it all together.

HUGE Thank you to Everyone Who Was A Part of The Project
