12. Squaw Creek Ranch - Master Bedroom - After Renovation

Entire Home up to $250,000, Platinum Award: Squaw Creek Ranch, Doss, Texas

The owners wanted to renovate and restore their pioneer homestead, while providing modern amenities and ample room for entertaining and overnight guests at their Hill Country ranch.

When the structure was gutted, materials were salvaged and recycled into the restoration. Historic light fixtures, salvaged doors and lumber give the project a period feel. A new standing-seam roof was applied in the traditional style. Budget and end use in-mind, care was taken to respect the historic elements while adding the comforts of today. (Photo Gallery)
