If you’re looking for remodeling ideas, an architect, a contractor, or a landscaper, you should definitely go on the Charming Cottages of Palo Alto Tour, which will be held on:
Friday & Saturday, April 20 & 21
11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m
The nice thing about this cottage tour is that it typically includes houses with realistic remodeling budgets, not blank-check mansions. So there are plenty of ideas that anyone can apply to their home projects.
Aficionados of the Craftsman era of architecture should check out this 1910 Menlo Park house with many Craftsman details, including dark wood, diamond-patterned mullioned windows, tiles, friezes and stained glass
(Architect: Steven Borlick, Young & Borlick; designers Susan Skaer and John Tanner)
They will also feature a remodel of a classic California Bungalow.
And other “charming cottages” include:
***A remodeled ranch with a touch of Spain and the South Seas
(Designers: Candace Pelissero and Brian Larsen)
***A contemporary home in Downtown North decorated with antiques
(Architect: Robert Peterson Architects)
***A 1940s Crescent Park home with enlarged windows, high ceilings and windows overlooking a wisteria arbor and garden
(Architect: Heidi Hansen; interior designer: Ruth Soforenko Associates; landscape architect: Mary Gordon)
