The project

A century-old house, brought back.

This 100-plus-year-old home in downtown Camas needed more than paint. Extensive exterior repairs came first, all the way around the house, and the original doors were stripped back to bare wood and restored.

Then the house and the detached garage were repainted with Sherwin-Williams, taking it from a tired cream-and-red scheme to sage green with cream trim. The porch, steps and railings were redone to match.
