Stone House Revival

Carpenter Jeff Devlin restores a master bedroom and library for Brian and Jennifer, who own an amazing stone home in Bucks County, PA. The original home dates back to 1700, and the house was added on to in 1775 and 1930. The two rooms sit in the additions of the home, and lack some of the historic character of the oldest part of the house. Jeff works to uncover the bones of the rooms and brings in added historic details to make each space feel like they belong in the house. Along the way he attempts to find a hidden fireplace, patches up an old staircase and sources unique handmade tile local to Bucks County.

Carpenter Jeff Devlin takes on his latest project, a 1785 stone farmhouse owned by the Vitale family in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The Vitales love the historic charm of their living room, which is almost completely in its original state, but they ask Jeff to give a facelift to the 230-year-old fireplace. Their kitchen is a hodge podge of additions that just doesn't match the rest of their house, so Jeff and his team rip the whole thing out and bring in a bright, clean farmhouse kitchen with blue cabinets and fresh white quartz countertops. The mudroom is a strange 1950s addition with no character, so Jeff repurposes old lumber he finds in their garage to create custom storage and add beams to the walls, giving it an old log cabin feel.

Carpenter Jeff Devlin restores a kitchen and living room in a 1760 farmhouse for Tracey and Scott, who now use it as a guest house. The house was the original structure on their farm, which now contains a newer main house and several out buildi. Jeff restores both spaces, bringing in a simple Shaker design to the kitchen and a rustic lodge feeling to the living room. He even searches their property for a beam to use for the mantel, and makes friends with a few farm animals along the way.
