This is the loft which is the subject of many a project and where all of my projects take place. It is a unit in a refurbished woolen mill, which was built in 1908.
Nick and I moved in on March 25th, 2011, and began significant remodeling the next day. Here’s a quick photo tour and before/during/after to get you familiar.
