We recently completed the renovation of this traditional bungalow in the Houston Heights neighborhood. Our clients wanted to modernize the aesthetic of the house while maintaining warmth and livability.

The kitchen cabinets were built with the house's original ship-lap wall sheathing that we removed from the walls when reconfiguring the space and updating the sheetrock. The main countertops are white Corian solid surface and the island was made from solid beech butcher block.
