Living Room

This may have been the most brutally-difficult room in the home to restore, but it ends up being a hugely rewarding space. That gorgeous scored concrete flooring had been horribly abused over the years with layer upon layer of paint, along with the nailed-in footings for wall-to-wall carpeting. It took hundreds of hours of back-breaking labor on hands and knees to restore it. The windows had also suffered extreme abuse, but now they're completely restored – original wood, original hardware, original functionality. But while the cost in time, labor and material may have been high, the payoff is more than worth it: This is room that envelopes you in a quiet, luxurious comfort.
