A Tale of Two Houses:
Marsh-Vorspan Renovates New and Old
(page 3 of 5)

“It was really wonderful for me, as a designer, to be able to work with someone who spoke the same language,” says Mimi. “And yet,” she continues, “if I would say to them, ‘I’m thinking about this…’ they would be able to tell me in quick order whether it was the most effective use of my money. That was really very helpful.”

Even though the renovations were substantial, Mimi chose to live in her home during the construction. “It was like camping out for seven months,” she laughs. “But I actually enjoyed it. Working with Marsh-Vorspan was very creative, very collaborative…and just a lot of fun.”

The Historic Renovation

Although Marsh-Vorspan knows how to bring light and life into Austin's contemporary homes, they have a special affinity for renovating historic homes. Gary Ashcraft says they have an absolute gift for it.
