I still get to work on the occasional old house, which makes me so happy! This little Broad Ripple cutie got a new roof and decking, new insulation, new Hardie siding and trim, new gutters, and installed some decorative woodworking accents along the front such as gable brackets and simulated dentil moulding.

***Please share this post!*** If you need any flooring work done, please call my boy Jesse Linton with JL Hardwood Flooring Restorations. Jesse can make any floor, no matter how distressed, basically look brand new again. Just look at that second photo! He specializes in new wood floor installations, too. He can even do laminate and vinyl installation. Here are just a few of my favorites from our work together over the years.

💎 Jesse and his wife Kristen are good people. They’ve been having a pretty rough go of it over the last year. First, Jesse had a heart attack. Then, their house burned down to the ground. They had insurance, of course, but it’s still not quite enough. So - if you need any flooring work done, please give him a call, text or email. (765) 894-5978

With Stenz Corporation, I still occasionally get to work on an old house or two. 🗝️🥹 This property is one of my favorites. I especially love the transom windows, the wood floors, and the beautiful glass wall tiles in the second to last pic. I don’t see that style of wall tile very often. It is striking in person. 💎

We’ve been working our rumps off at Stenz Corporation to breathe new life into The Devonshire Apartment Building. Really proud of how far this old gal has come in such a short time! Devonshire is an historic old building in the heart of Mass Ave. Built in 1929. Located on a then quiet street and convenient to the heart of downtown, the building was extremely popular with single working women and widows. Hardly a penny was spent on maintenance over the last 50 years, and this poor gal was really starting to show her age. Gershman Partners rescued her from the chopping block. Old buildings are expensive to renovate but preserving historical Indianapolis is a noble and worthy cause. Just look at that antique light fixture! The original hex tile! The glass k***s! The floors! It’s got character for days. I would totally live here.

Treasures spotted in our storage unit 👀 The enormous stained glass double doors were a gift from the best architect ever, Jason Burke. Someday we will have a project worthy of installing them in.

Fun items spotted this week architectural salvage store. 😍 We were searching for replacement door parts for Devonshire apartment building (we were successful!). We even brought back some items to spruce up our office with…Two wicked cool antique bumpers from an old firehouse. We are going to turn them into planters. Will post pics soon!

This old dog is up to the same old tricks…and I am loving it! 🐶💕 My first big project at my new job with involves an old historic apartment building. It has stained glass, wood floors, antique door hardware…you know…all of my favorite things! 🌼 The building owners did a wonderful (and very noble) thing by saving this piece of Indianapolis history. She (Devonshire) was in a pretty sad state, but we are getting her fixed right up. Looking forward to fully bringing her back to her former glory. 😍

Posted • Our construction team has been hard at work renovating one of our new residential managed properties, The Devonshire. We’re sooooooo close to having these renovated and refreshed units on the market. Enjoy this sneak peek!

SOLD! We simply can’t contain our excitement any longer…1121 Hamilton has found her people! They are PERFECT for this house, and we love them already. I had the privilege of giving them a personal tour the day of their first showing. I knew the moment the wife complimented the stained glass front door, and even mentioned that it was one of her favorite parts when looking at pictures online, that I wanted them to make this their home. The husband pointed out the fancy glass door k***s (throughout the whole house), and I was simply smitten. They have two young children with another on the way. They looked at 50+ houses before finding this one (they even had a spreadsheet with equations for determining the “perfect” match, a couple after my own heart!). It made me so grateful that no one else had purchased her yet, because I can’t imagine anyone else here. I can’t really explain it, but it just felt…right. I could see them here. I could hear little feet pitter pattering down the halls, and a house filled with laughter and love. We are doing a couple of really fun upgrades for them, which the team is pumped about. We are installing a pot filler next to the stove, and swapping out a few of the cabinet door fronts with glass. Hooray and thank God for His perfect timing (which is not always my perfect timing, but I can see now they were worth waiting for!). 💕

The master bath at 1121 Hamilton is everything. It has a generous sized walk in shower AND a separate tub. Raise your hand if having a tub to properly unwind in is important 🙋‍♀️💯

We did a little refresh on the decorating at Hamilton. We were getting bored with beige, plus someone told us it felt like a seance was taking place in the front living room 😹👽👻. What do you all think of the update?
