Hyde Park Renovation... Our new roof!

We wanted a metal roof, but didn't want a modern metal roof that didn't match the era of the home. and... voila - our new roof. Interlocking diamond shaped metal tiles. A perfect match with the 1930s architecture.


We have our brilliant builders Spaller + Glover to thank for the suggestion and sourcing.


Hyde Park Renovation... Framing it up

Feels good to see it start to look more like a house again. My brilliant builders Spaller + Glover created this cathredal-esque hallway leading to an iron and glass custom window at the end to allow for more natural light and (of course) a little more glamor.




Future kitchen. (remember, used to be the bathroom) That door leads out to a courtyard.



This is the main living area... with high high ceilings. It's a small house, but won't feel that way thanks to all of the high ceilings.
