Every renovation has a beginning. For Den Cralle, this one started four years ago.
During a late night scroll, Den discovered a historic home designed by William Lawrence Bottomley on Monument Avenue in Richmond, VA.
The moment he stepped inside 2315 Monument Avenue, Den knew it was special. But instead of jumping into a full historic home renovation, he lived in it. He took time to understand the space and what made the house feel timeless.
Now that quiet observation is guiding every decision he makes. With an eye for design and a deep respect for the home’s 1920s architecture, Den is reshaping the space for modern living.
Most importantly? He’s making sure not to lose what makes it extraordinary.
Coming up, we’ll see just how timeless Bottomley’s work is when we meet the owner of one of his other homes located hundreds of miles away on the Maine Coast.
