This 1940s garage, built with old-growth Douglas fir and rafters cut from trees older than our forefathers, became the framework for an inspiring transformation. The goal was to create a welcoming home where the owner could live while loved ones occupied the main house. As a renowned musician and entertainer, the client needed a space that felt both bright and inviting. The original ceiling was vaulted, opening into a 13-foot cathedral living area lit by skylights and flowing into an open-concept kitchen with an island and custom walnut shelving. A 400-square-foot addition expanded the home with a vaulted dining area, illuminated by handcrafted hardwood lamps that complemented its modern midcentury style. Peruvian walnut trim, arched doorways, and a sunlit bay window with bookshelves created warmth and character. A full bath with reclaimed tile, clawfoot tub, and emerald curbless shower completed the design—proving that 803 square feet can truly feel like home.
