Adam and Devon didn’t essentially see it as a nasty factor. “We’re each dreamers who love a very good mission. We couldn’t think about transferring into a house that was newly renovated by another person. This dwelling had all of the character however wanted to be introduced again to life,” shares Devon, who roped in her sister, inside designer Chelsea Weeks, for the inside redesign, and normal contractor Jason Houck of Landmark Constructing for the execution.

That first transform set the stage for the second just a few years later. “Our tastes developed over time, so it felt proper to return and redo quite a few issues,” avers Adam.
This time, they went greater and bolder, dialing up the colour and sample with considerate artworks, books, and textiles. Some issues that made the reduce?

The primary exhibitions of Devon’s work after graduate faculty have been at a gallery there. “I grew up within the Pacific Northwest so our journeys to the area for Devon’s exhibits as newlyweds have been very particular.
