Making something out of nothing
Article Abstract:
A TV project is showcased wherein a derelict 1879 Italianate row house is renovated with the help of a very creative renovation team who relied on clues like a small piece of trim, or a family photograph taken in front of the house. They copied remnants of detail left over from the ruins, in some places they compromised on designs that were close but not exactly the same and in areas installed new materials that looked original or were better made.

The old kitchen was demolished, reimagined, measured, ordered and installed creating an appropriate kitchen for the 1922 colonial revival house.
