West Philadelphia Addition

Photography by Jeffrey Totaro. Walls are salvaged from an art gallery in Center City Philadelphia. It was realized once the wood was removed from the gallery that it had already been salvaged once before, so this is the wood’s third home. The homeowners wanted a white-washed finish to brighten the space. The floor is re-sawn from salvaged heart pine beams. The roof rafters are salvaged from a former church in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia that is currently being developed into condominiums. The kitchen table is a Henredon drop leaf table, purchased at auction and rehabbed by the homeowner's grandfather. The floor-to-ceiling kitchen windows are JELD-WEN.
