There are times in life when it’s OK to break the rules—but adding onto an old house isn’t one of those times. How many times have you seen a nice old house ruined by an unsightly addition? Some additions "read" as additions from a mile away. It doesn't have to be that way. With some careful planning and biding by the rules will allow you to seamlessly blend old and new to create spaces that fit your lifestyle without sacrificing your home’s charm. Photo's below show an addition to a 1890's historical Victorian home in Hopewell, NJ which included a new breakfast area off the kitchen, a new laundry/mud room, back porch and a full kitchen renovation.
