House at a Glance
Who lives here: A woman
Location: Seattle
Size: 1,506 square feet (140 square meters); three bedrooms, 1½ bathrooms
Designer: Tammara Stroud
Contractor: Dave Headland of Headland Construction
The entry reveals a view straight back to the kitchen, to the dining room toward the back left and to the living room on the other side of the half wall seen here. The door opens to a coat closet.
“The one thing my client really wanted in here was hooks for her friends to hang their purses up,” Stroud says. This keeps them off her kitchen counters.
“The house was sinking. The foundation needed to be jacked up and the floors needed to be leveled,” Stroud says. This meant replacing all the flooring. The new hardwoods create consistency throughout the first floor, add warmth and suit the home’s age.
