Elevated Era

Location: North Plains, OR

No-regrets remodel.

This whole-house remodel aimed to transform a 2007 home into a new era – a modern space, departing from its outdated knotty alder wood, paint colors, and craftsman details. Despite considering a move, the couple loved the location, size for entertaining, and main-level primary suite. The floor plan worked well, but the style and materials needed an upgrade. We revamped the home within its existing footprint, giving it a fresh look while preserving its sentimental value and enhancing it for the family’s new phase of life.
