Small Scale Project

Winner

Jeffery and Tracey Kosmeder

An avid woodworker, Jeffery Kosmeder designed and built an oak storm/screen door to match the original wood front entry door. Inside the bungalow, Jeffery constructed solid oak radiator covers for the long expanse of radiators under the front windows.  These projects demonstrate how attention to small details can make a big impression.

 

Honorable mention

Gena Cielak

Gena Cielak transformed her 1970s bathroom complete with mirrored tiles and a dropped ceiling into a 1920s inspired design. The bathroom was gutted saving only the existing bathtub. Gena selected a basket weave tile floor pattern and white subway tiles for the walls.  The affordable, off–the-shelf fixtures chosen also lend a period feel to the bathroom that is appropriate for her 1923 bungalow.
