When we bought this little row home, it was a sad abandoned rehab project. The front brick was darkened with grime and the original cornice was covered in vinyl. The beginnings of the new mechanicals ran haphazardly throughout the house, which was halfway drywalled. We decided to take all of that out and start over, carefully cleaning and restoring the facade, and doing a total overhaul of the interior. Black, white, and wooden elements can be seen throughout the house, and new windows let in lots of natural light. The result is a bright and playful space that feels much bigger and happier.
