THE RESCUE HOUSE The library was once a sagging lean-to-style porch off the living room. As a teacher for Roanoke County schools, having a quiet place for books is important to Chip. Walls of windows and French doors opening to the front porch almost bring inside the mature maples and wisteria from the side yard. Extending the ductwork from the central heat and air make it possible for the Donahues to curl up with a good book year-round. New hardwood floor to match the living room, track lighting over the library shelves and vintage furnishings make this space a favorite for all. creating closets, bathrooms and more Where possible, Chip and Ashley kept the original flooring. Otherwise, they secured something to match- oak downstairs and vertical grain heart pine on the upper stories. They kept the original staircases, with a few repairs.
