This was an 18-month renovation of a historic home in West Chester, PA. Built in 1845 and in serious disrepair, the entire home was gutted for new electric, mechanicals, plumbing, etc. Not a single square foot of the home was left untouched (either remodeled, restored, or refinished). Here are some of the trim details throughout. For more information and photos from the renovation, you can visit www.pinestreetcarpenters.com and click on the project spotlight in the residential section.
-
Main entry to the home. In addition to completely restoring the main hallway (refinishing all flooring, railings, doors, coffered ceiling; etc.; new lighting/electric/HVAC/etc); we installed new beadboard wainscoting in the hall and leading up to the second floor.
-
2nd floor landing/hallway. Beadboard wainscoting extends from hallway below. Custom built-in and custom Inglenook benches provide a children's library for the home-owner's visiting grandchildren.
