The upstairs renovation is in its final stretch — a mix of beautiful progress, unexpected pauses, and the kind of patience only a 100-year-old building can teach. In this latest update, we’re sharing what it feels like to be so close, while still waiting for the final pieces to fall into place… and the excitement of what comes next.
Restoring the upstairs floors at Walnut + Twine wasn’t the easiest or cheapest option — but it was the one that honored this building’s story. In our latest renovation update, we’re sharing why we chose charm and character over perfect and predictable… and why we’d make that same choice again in a heartbeat.
Letting go of the original to make room for something just as meaningful
Just when we wondered if the renovation would ever move again, an incredible week of activity reminded us how far we’ve come. From insulation to drywall (and a crane cameo!), your support carried us through every high and low.
Still under construction? Yep. Still showing up, coffee in hand, and making magic where we can? Absolutely. From new stairs to community carve-offs, we’re finding joy in every bit of progress.
Where to even start? Back in January, I was brimming with enthusiasm — the plans were approved, the obstacles cleared, and we were ready to get rolling “any day now.” Spoiler: “any day” in renovation time is like “just five more minutes” in kid time.
