Why Choose a Lived-In Home Specialist?

Not new construction. Not flips. Real homes where real families live.

Unlike painters who focus on empty new construction, I specialize in refreshing historic homes where families are actively living. I understand the unique challenges of working in Collingswood's established neighborhoods—homes with plaster walls, original trim, and architectural details that require careful, respectful treatment.

Minimal Disruption

Most Collingswood clients stay in their homes during the project

Careful Protection

Your floors, furniture, and belongings are thoroughly protected

Real-World Experience

Familiar with 1941s-era homes and common issues like plaster repair and wood paneling

Practical Color Consultation

Recommendations that work with your existing furniture and lighting

Whether you're updating your Collingswood home's dated finishes or refreshing tired walls and trim, I approach every project as a lived-in space that deserves respect and care.

Victorian / Queen Anne

Common Interior Features:

A mix of 10ft ceilings in Victorians, 9ft in Foursquares, and 8ft in smaller bungalows and twins.
Plaster and lath is the dominant wall material due to the age of the housing stock. Horsehair plaster is common.
High-quality, original wood trim is a defining feature. Ornate Victorian, simple Craftsman, and Colonial styles are all present. Many homeowners choose to preserve the original stained wood.
Kitchens are often smaller and have been updated multiple times. Finding original cabinetry is rare. Updates often use styles that nod to the home's era, like Shaker or simple flat-panel doors.

Cabinet Trends

Bold choices are common. While white is popular, deep greens, blues, and even two-tone schemes are frequently used to add personality to kitchens.

Trim Trends

A major decision point for homeowners. About 50/50 split between preserving and celebrating the original dark wood trim versus painting it white to brighten and modernize the space.
