Augustus Stone House - Kitchen Renovation Project. The kitchen was located on the north side of the house - it was moved to the southwest corner so that it would receive both morning light and late afternoon sun with a view over the backyard. Wide plank pine boards were used on the kitchen floor and stained to match the existing flooring that was original to the house. SOCO Historical Restorations designed the kitchen and custom made the cabinets. The elaborate mantel over the Ilve stove conceals the plumbing for the upstairs bathroom as the ceilings are so low.  Old fashioned brass legs were ordered for the stove - an option offered by Ilve. Reclaimed pine boards from the interior walls were used for the wood countertop in the small nook. The upper cabinets in the small nook have mirrored panes to throw the light. Brass light fixtures are reproduction pieces from Edison Light Globes, Vintage Ships Lighting, out of Victoria, Australia. The countertops are Athena quartzite installed by Rock Solid. Left over pieces of countertop were used to make outlet covers and vanity counter tops for the bathrooms. The backsplash behind the stove is a mosaic tile made of polished carrara marble. Pop-up outlets were used in the countertops because the windows take up the majority of the wall space.

Augustus Stone House - Traditional bathroom with a small footprint (6’4” x 7’0”), tucked neatly beneath the stairs. Polished carrara marble tiles were used on the walls and ceiling. A 12”x20” niche with carrara marble mosaic tile slips in behind the shelving unit. And white carrara marble pebbles were used to tile the shower floor with a Watercourse Floral Grid shower drain by Kingston Brass. Linea Aurelia marble mosaic tiles were used to create a beautiful design on the floor in front of the vanity. This small space makes a dramatic statement.

 Pool house conversion project to year round work out room in Great Barrington, Ma. Existing screen doors on both sides of the building were removed and replaced with French door units. Barn board siding was removed from the interior walls. The walls and ceiling were insulated. Barn board siding and baseboard were re-installed. And once the new wood ceiling was in place, a radiant floor heating system was installed under 8mm thick rubber flooring.
