Visions of Grandeur(4)
Visions of Grandeur
Upstairs rooms were a challenge, with 8-foot-high ceilings, no trimwork, and zero storage. Gerald added crown moldings, beefed up the window trim, and had shelves built in the master bedroom and office. Because the floors were not original, wool sisal-style wall-to-wall carpeting was installed.
In Gerald’s office, an evocative painting by Brad Durham hangs above the mantel.
