Partner and married woman Lauren and Kyle Zerbey understand their way around a restoration: The two architects happen to be for the previous 4 years in the method of one! Obviously, their 800 square foot Seattle fixerupper, constructed in 1910, was in need of tons of function when they purchased it (see before pictures in the remarks section). The initial couple of years went to beefing up the construction, changing the roof and upgrading mechanical and electrical methods. And by no means have they. The whole interior was gutted and re-configured to better use every inch of the house’s little footprint.
The few chronicle the entire procedure — including eyepopping before and afters — on their website, Chezerbey. Read on for how they got their home to the lovely period it’s in now.

The outside was totally revamped by the few last year. (View it it before in the remarks section.) During the 60’s aluminum siding went up over the cedar that was first and every one of the trim was painted teal. They took most of the aluminum siding off and after that took down the cedar siding before painting and priming the outside a dark-blue-grey colour.

Lauren states, “There can also be practical reasons behind the open shelving — it is where we stow our regular dishes, which means they are readily reachable and not get dusty since they are always used. The cupboards may subsequently conceal other things, like our group of mis-matched espresso mugs!”
