project profile: mount royal, part 1

oh.em.gee. 

every once in awhile a project comes along that really tugs on the 'ol heartstrings... for me, this would be mount royal.

it's no surprise i'm a fan of all things old;  offering history, character, patina and imperfection, older homes have an undeniable appeal - and stepping inside this beauty last summer was a treat to say the least :)

built in 1912 and absolutely filled with original features and period charm - our task at hand has been to freshen up some of the more unforgiving and dated features throughout; and develop an addition to the back of the house that will greatly improve some of the functional drawbacks contained within... essentially: freshen things up - all while preserving the various details throughout the home that make it so very special.

today we are well into the design development, and have been busy at work pulling together the new plans, finishes and fixtures for this historic gem. as such, i thought a proper introduction was due - and i am looking forward to tracking the progress and sharing updates for you along the way...

thanks for stopping in, and welcome to mount royal!
