I like instagram because I can post little snippets of a tiny piece of a small detail on very big job. We are building high end luxury homes – they are a massive undertaking and take months to complete. Or we are orchestrating massive complete guts of old historic building and making them ready for 21st century living. It is big, messy, labor-intensive work.
But along the way, there are tiny little details that will probably never be noticed by the homeowners. But we notice. Because details matter. Doing it right takes a little longer but it looks a little better. Doing it right is not fast or easy, but it is always worth it.
So, when you salvage a 100+ year old beam from the basement of an old greystone and then use it for a fireplace mantle, you also salvage some old square nails to finish it. Because lets face it, this is super cool.
Oh and then you leave in all the bumps and scrapes and gouges because that is all part of the story. And oh what a story this one will tell. Stay tuned!
