Grosse Pointe Gut (Transitional Design)
This house is nestled in the suburbs of Detroit. It is a 1950s two story brick colonial that was in major need of some updates. We kept all of the existing architectural features of this home including cove ceilings, wood floors moldings. I didn't want to take away the style of the home, I just wanted to update it. When I started, the floors were stained almost red, every room had a different color on the walls, and the kitchen and bathrooms hadn't been touched in decades. It was all out of date and out of style.
The dining room connects the kitchen and informal and formal living areas. I kept and repainted the wood mantel, laid new gray ceramic tile in the hearth from Ann Sacks. The dining set table and chairs is from Scavolini. The hanging light fixture is from Foscarini.
