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. This room we believe was added on after the original build. It is a gas fireplace with a cool brick surround. The bay window lets in tons of natural light. The room used to be carpeted, but we laid new wood floors to match the rest of the home.
