Remember that crazy marble sink that we found from a 1920’s italian garden? So cool, so heavy. Who can help us make a base? Thankfully Cooper of Studio Number B has never made the same thing twice, so he was game to help us find a solution for this ol’ gal!

When we bought the property, the ballroom and soon-to-be kitchen floors were covered with tar paper. On one hand, this was great as the floors had been protected by years of carpet, tiles, etc. The downside, it needed to come off.
Because we can’t give up on an underdog, we decided to employ the Kintusgi technique which originated in Japan to repair our bathroom tiles. It started as a way of repair cups, pots and plates that were broken. By using gold mortar, the vessel became more valuable after it was repaired than when it was pristine.
This is brick mould. It is something that I didn’t even know existed one year ago. But now we are good friends.
One of the biggest challenges with our space and it's renovation was electrical. The structure itself is all concrete and clay tiles. This is awesome for longevity but really hard for systems! We were lucky enough to meet Matthew Baird of Norse Electric.
