Today on HGTV, we join Emily and Billy James, a couple with a passion for homesteading and gardening, on their quest for a historic home with a small yard. Their journey leads them to the Rutledge house, a charming 1908 Craftsman abode boasting a front gable and 2100 square feet of potential. The team dives into a discussion about a striking color palette transformation, tackling issues like superficial rot and the need for front steps repair to restore the house's former glory.
Inside the Rutledge house, the team sets out to revamp the living room, dining room, and kitchen, envisioning a space filled with character and functionality. Plans include removing walls, updating fixtures, and introducing French doors, raised ceilings, and new cabinetry to breathe new life into the home. The bathroom is not left untouched, with a claw foot tub and custom vanity in the works to elevate the space.
As the renovation progresses, attention turns to the carport, tall ceilings, shop, linen cabinet, buffet, heart pine flooring, and sheetrock installation. Custom cabinets and Wayne's coating add a touch of elegance, while Spanish tiles and minimalist design elements enhance the overall aesthetic. The team's dedication to detail is evident in every aspect of the project, from countertops to party-ready spaces, ensuring that the James house is transformed into a welcoming haven that truly reflects the couple's style and needs.
