Built in 1905, this Spanish-style Seattle home is one of the oldest homes we’ve renovated. We bought the house in 2015, completed a whole-house renovation, and moved in just before our second son, Brooks, was born.

A 1905 Spanish-style home in Seattle.
A whole-house renovation before welcoming our second son.
Black, white, warm wood, and a bathroom refresh that worked with what was already there.
