This living room had us from the start. The expansive front window, original crown moulding, and front door set the tone.
The fireplace needed a reset, so we reworked it to feel true to the home’s 1920s roots using an antique surround from the 1890s. The brick hearth was salvaged from the exterior during the addition and repurposed here and in the mudroom.
A before worth seeing, and a space that finally feels like it belongs.
