1119: Interior Reveal: Unit 1

Well here it is – the interior of the first floor unit revealed. We went to quite a bit of effort to make the brand new space feel like it was there all along. The trim we chose matched the old trim. The old transoms were replaced with new ones. The giant windows that we loved were replaced with new windows of the size and shape, except for those in the kitchen and bath. We also tried to avoid cookie cutter design. The height of the hexagon tile floor in the kitchen was matched with the height of the hardwood floors so that we could seamlessly transition between the two. We waited an impossibly long time for the bathroom tile to arrive because it was important that it not be stock tile. We lost two whole weeks (and some of our sanity) waiting for a non-damaged-in-transit built-in microwave to arrive because I don’t think microwave/hood combos do as good of a job circulating air. Etc, etc, etc. We staged it because we wanted to see its full potential, as we had envisioned it.
