Something Old, Something New

The couple wanted to move from their large Tudor home in Richmond, Virginia, to a smaller cottage-style house. The perfect starting point turned out to be an 1898 carriage house that once stabled horses for homeowners in the neighborhood. The Hoods bought the carriage house in 2005, and during the remodeling, added a dining room, a bedroom, and a spacious kitchen that’s contemporary in tone yet respectful of the original architecture.
