A Craftsman for the 21st Century
Renovation
New Orleans, LA
It’s hard to believe it has been over two years since PRC’s Renovators’ Happy Hour with the Fournerat family. Back in October of 2014, 1905 Peniston St. bustled with guests chatting and admiring the original cypress wood features, century-old stained glass windows and the plaster relief mural. As the sun set that evening, it got darker inside the home as well, because the lighting hadn’t yet been installed. The original plaster walls and Philadelphia strip wood floors were in the pre-restoration phase as well, as is the case at many Renovators’ Happy Hours. This project had generated a lot of interest, and so it was crowded inside as the audience heard from Ashley and Brennan Fournerat on how they came to own a gutted 1910 Craftsman-style bungalow in need of complete restoration.
