Dawn and Jeremy Peterson acquired a true diamond in the rough when they bought this Portland bungalow, which they affectionately called "Grandma's House". The housing market collapse put an end to their plans to flip the house for a profit.

After spending months stripping pink paint off the original fir woodwork, remodeling the kitchen, and adding a dormer that is harmonious to the design of the house, they have brought new life to this fantastic little bungalow.

Living Room
Wanting to keep the remodel true to the original design of the house, the Petersons chose to spend a significant amount of time and money painstakingly stripping decades of paint off all of the woodwork and brick. When combined with their choice of appropriate paint and stain colors, the results are truly spectacular.
