Homeowner Needs
In 2015, this Snohomish family collaborated with VanderBeken to improve the functionality and charm of their classic 1935 farmhouse. The initial phase of the remodel focused on three primary areas: enlarging the dining room to enhance usability, integrating custom built-in storage in the primary bedroom and walk-in closet, and updating the guest bathroom to align with the homeowners’ style and preferences.
By 2020, they returned to VanderBeken for a second phase to complete their home’s transformation. This phase included a garage rebuild, the addition of a wraparound deck complete with exterior heat lamps for year-round enjoyment, and the creation of a practical laundry room off the back entrance. The living room was also refreshed with the addition of a wood-burning fireplace, adding both warmth and character to the heart of the home.
Remodeling Solution
The VanderBeken design team expertly tackled the challenges of remodeling this 1935 Snohomish farmhouse, combining contemporary functionality with the enduring appeal of its historic charm.
The primary bedroom and walk-in closet were updated with custom built-in drawers and cabinetry, replacing the original hinged door with a mirrored barn door, enhancing accessibility and saving space.
Wide baseboards and matching trim seamlessly tie the built-in cabinetry to the room’s design, while a fresh coat of cool grey paint brings a modern and cohesive look to the entire space.
Result
These updates effortlessly blended modern functionality with classic design, revitalizing the home while honoring its historic character and charm.
