“Our home was built in 1928 and like so many in the city, has incredible architectural history! We love the intricate plasterwork throughout, the original stained and leaded glass windows and doors, and the feeling we get when we are here — we spent most of our adult lives renting and transient and it feels amazing to finally be home. I am definitely the driver of home projects, but I think I can safely say, we have both had fun working to make this home our own! There’s still plenty to do though,” explains Emily, who shares peeks at the progress of home projects on her Instagram account.

A few months after moving into the house, they welcomed their son, Milo, and quite soon, they’ll welcome baby number two. Rounding out the charming family are two dogs, Birdie and Goose. See more of this lovely family’s home by clicking “Take The Tour” above.
