Reno snapshot
Pivotal decision
“Turning what was once a
small bedroom into a study
created a centre for the house.
Everything leads back to that
now,” says Ken.
Unexpected blow-out
Restumping the house.
“We discovered that a lot
of the floor bearers had just
rotted out,” says Ken.
Where to save
Salvaging the existing
windows proved to be a
budget-friendly!
Words of wisdom
Moving out during a renovation
can make the experience far
less traumatic. “It’s also
important to maintain a sense
of humour and to expect the
unexpected,” says Ken.
Favourite room
The luminous yet cosy and
intimate living room. “I love the
sense of authorship.”
