The Story
The Vision Behind This Project
The Challenge
The 26th Street project represents a comprehensive whole-home addition and renovation, expanding the residence vertically with a full second-floor addition that introduced new bedrooms, a hall bathroom, and a master suite. The structural scope was substantial: a flush flitch steel beam system — engineered specifically for this home — now carries the new second floor, supported by a steel column and a newly poured concrete footer in the basement. A redesigned staircase with a two-step winder landing connects the levels with both elegance and efficiency, while new Pella white vinyl double-hung windows with a classic 6-over-6 grille pattern in white give the exterior a cohesive, traditional character.

Exterior The home's exterior makes a confident, considered statement. Deep Ocean Blue siding — sourced through Beacon (also known as The Roof Center) — anchors the façade, with Pearl Gray accent siding providing a refined contrast. Charcoal architectural shingles complete the palette, tying the roofline to the darker primary field color for a cohesive, contemporary-traditional result.
Master Bathroom The master bathroom was designed around a custom Hampshire vanity paired with Arctic White quartz countertops from Euro Stone Craft — a pairing that is clean without being cold. Undermount sinks by Kohler (K20000-0) are fitted with Signature Hardware SHWSCRI200BN faucets in brushed nickel, while the shower is outfitted with a Signature Hardware SH6006 valve and SHRI9009BN trim. A freestanding Signature Hardware soaking tub (SH349608) with a coordinating tub filler (Ferguson #421586) anchors the room with quiet drama. Accessories throughout — towel ring, 24" towel bar, robe hook, and toilet paper holder — are unified in Signature Hardware's brushed nickel finish. Top Knobs Hopewell bar pulls in two sizes (M430 and M431) dress the cabinetry with understated hardware detail. The space is lit by a pair of WDLN1621 sconces flanking a 29" x 35" brushed nickel contemporary wall mirror, and a Home Depot C43908D-WH toilet completes the suite. Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Wishful Blue (SW 6813), a soft, airy hue that lets the finishes breathe.
Hall Bathroom The hall bathroom takes a warmer, more relaxed approach. A Sheffield 30" single vanity set (WDX4678) anchors the space, accompanied by a Hampshire three-shelf unit in a 25" x 20" maple coffee stain distressed finish — a nod to the farmhouse-influenced open shelving trend executed with real material depth. The Jacuzzi Linea 60" x 32" soaking tub (JLNS6032BLXXXXW, Ferguson) is outfitted with a Signature Hardware Rigi single-handle tub and shower faucet (SHRI8030GBN) in brushed nickel, along with a hand-held shower (SHHS4010GBN) on a Signature Hardware shower arm (SHSK85BN) and hose (SHH1020BN). The sink faucet (SHWSCR1200BN, Ferguson) coordinates with the rest of the brushed nickel hardware family — towel ring (SHRITRBN), 24" towel bar (SHRI24TBBN), paper holder (SHRITHBN), and a Moen shower curtain rod (MCSR2164BN). A Home Depot C41908-WH toilet and LTTN5210 mirror round out the room, which is painted in Sherwin-Williams Mountain Air (SW 6224) and lit by WDLN1620 vanity lighting.
Interior Spaces The interior color story moves thoughtfully from room to room. The dining room is wrapped in Sherwin-Williams Windsor Greige (SW 7528), a grounded, sophisticated neutral. Living areas, the stairway, first-floor hallway, and upstairs landing share Sherwin-Williams Summer White (SW 7557) — a unifying, light-filled backdrop that makes the new and existing spaces feel continuous. The playroom is painted in Captivating Cream (SW 6659), while the secondary bedroom carries Lantern Light (SW 6687) for a soft, golden warmth. The master bedroom is finished in Grape Mist (SW 6548), a muted, dusty violet that reads as sophisticated rather than bold.
