Jack and Marilyn Zuber lived in the Brentwood home for 65 years without altering anything but the wallpaper. Thomas even has photos of them digging on the site when construction first began.

The chalkboard painting side is like the diary of a traveler who loves recording his or her journey," says the firm.
