Achieving “Polished Imperfection”

The natural state of any older home is imperfection. In fact i see it in new homes too, all the time really, though in new homes its more errors and mistakes than what i call "Polished Imperfection". An antique home is something of beauty. Aged over time and allowed to establish a "Patina". Worm edges, proper settlement, old wood, old stone and something like an "X factor" exists that i look for...something like the Scandinavian idea of HYGGE. [ 507 more words ]

Transformation of a 2 story home in South Philly

Just South of Snyder Ave east if 4th street is the Whitman section of South Philadelphia. A well kept pocket of homes built up around 1950. The neighborhood name came from the construction of the Walt Whitman Bridge near to the south. 241 Daly street was acquired a mostly dilapidated property with little to no salvageable parts. The foot print was the typical 2 bedroom 2 story, but the layout was a mess and needed total design overhaul and the floors were in need of leveling too. [ 304 more words ]
