Water damage was evident in the living room.
The front porch was rebuilt around existing brick column bases. Pressure-treated pine flooring, railings and the
beadboard ceiling are new; the wood columns were from a neighbor.
The living room floor is the original heart pine, patched with pieces salvaged from the kitchen floor when that room was remodeled. The vintage light fixture is true to 1910 fashion.
Homeowner Warner McConaughey purchased the 1950s range for $100—five years before he had a kitchen to put it in. Now, placed against a wall of 5-by-8-inch ceramic tiles set in a bond pattern, it’s the centerpiece. “The old hood above the range came from a job site,” Warner said. “The owner didn’t want it.”
