A Historic Bungalow’s Transformation, as seen on HGTV

San Antonio, TX

We were thrilled when Kim Wolfe of Wolfe Home asked us to take part in this historic bungalow’s remodel for her HGTV show, “Why the Heck Did I Buy this House?” Most of the home was demo’ed back to the studs, and the exterior was covered in flaking, peeling paint. The house was transformed into a cute and stylish home for a young family. You can read more about the whole process in our interview with Kim. Final photos by Madeline Harper. All walls and ceilings painted in Farrow and Ball “Off White“.
