Make Myself at Home: ArchitecTours to Visit Jorgensen Ranch House

Status: Not For Sale

As I walked toward my car after touring the Jorgensen Ranch House last week, the owner came back outside, and asked, “By the way, did you want to see the studio? I’m sorry I forgot to ask you earlier.” I felt as if perhaps I had already overstayed my welcome. The house had so many interesting details, and I had the unexpected pleasure of having both of the owners there to show me around. We had gotten to chatting on many different subjects, and I asked a million and one questions about everything from the bathroom sinks to the proposed office wall paint colors to the reasons behind the decisions they made when they were remodeling.

However, since he asked about the studio, of course I said yes. The studio is a converted garage that’s in a separate building. As it turned out, the studio featured one of the best sneak peeks of the day.
