The goal of this project was to convert an existing lackluster space in a 100 year old building into one which conveyed warmth, elegance and a consistency in design based on the traditional details of the building.

The renovation included:

• rebuilding and leveling a new oak floor to replace the existing slack floor.
• building a new level ceiling including up-to-date lighting with recessed features as well as surface and wall-mounted accent fixtures, plus additional electric and data outlets.
• creating a new hearth, mantle, and surround in keeping with the history of the building.
• creating two new built-in bookcases and a new built-in radiator cover and window seat.
• raising existing door openings and installing a restored 100 year old stained glass window to add more light to the bedroom space.
• designing new base molding, doors, door and window casing, and crown molding to restore a sense of history and character to the residence.
• selecting appropriate furnishings and determining a proper furniture plan.
