Neighborhoods We Specialize In
Our historic home expertise is particularly valued in Seattle's heritage neighborhoods. In Magnolia, we regularly work with the area's beautiful early 20th-century homes, carefully preparing plaster walls that may have multiple layers of paint and wallpaper accumulated over decades. The unique challenges of these properties require patience, skill, and deep knowledge of historic construction methods.
We're equally experienced with the Victorian and Edwardian homes found throughout Capitol Hill and Queen Anne. These properties often feature ornate architectural details that require careful protection during wallpaper installation. Our team takes every precaution to preserve crown moldings, picture rails, and other period features while delivering beautiful results.
Preserving Your Home's Character
We believe that wallpaper should enhance your historic home's character, not detract from it. Our team can help you select patterns and materials that complement your home's architectural style, whether you prefer authentic period reproductions or contemporary designs that respect the home's heritage. We work with specialty suppliers who offer historically accurate patterns as well as modern interpretations of classic designs.
