Restoring Galveston

To balance design, family and functionality, Michael and Ashley build a staircase with custom newel post, add a fireplace with an old-wood mantel, build legs for their 12-foot island, and put 5-foot cast iron kitchen sinks in their primary bathroom.

The Cordrays renovate Michael's childhood brick bungalow for his supportive mom. They add a new fireplace, handmade window treatments, upgraded kitchen hardware and a surprise! Love, compromise and memories shape this transformative journey.

The Cordrays bring beauty, impeccable design and increased value to this renovation by adding a bedroom, vintage doors to separate the kitchen from the living space and retro tile found under the house for a one-of-a-kind backsplash.

Michael and Ashley turn a dilapidated 1908 wood mill into a showstopping wedding venue complete with limestone-like stamped concrete, a wedding arbor, lathe table bar, chandeliers with string lights, a grand staircase and two beautiful dressing suites.
