Society Hill Living/Dining Room with Wet Bar

Our clients brought us in to make a second floor refuge in advance of the arrival of their first child. This Society Hill rowhome had original baseboard and casing with decades of wear and layers of lead paint. In this case we decided restoration was not the best option for various reasons. We installed all new trim profiles, custom built-ins and radiator covers. Floors were refinished. The bar got a refresh. The original fireplace mantle in the dining room was, and is amazing - that stayed. The living room mantle was an awkwardly sized wood piece. We designed a more contemporary stone mantle that would complement, not compete with the dining room. Both got a black brick interior to tie them together stylistically.
