I am very excited to have been invited to work on a fabulous Victorian Vicarage. There is a lot of work to do, including a kitchen extension but first things, first! The basement! As it stood, it was an unusable space, dank and dirty, it could not be used in any way.
A local company did a great job of tanking the basement, taking down walls and fitting out.
The Client decided to keep some of the exposed brick and the stone shelves in what would become the wine cellar. The brick, shelves and stone steps were cleaned and sealed.
We talked about colour for the rooms and as there was no natural light at all, I explained they could have any colour they wanted as it would always be seen in artificial light. We picked a beautiful, rich Burgundy for the walls and a Light Grey for the ceiling, woodwork and the walls behind the wine racks.
The staircase entry is now bright and clean. Sealing the brick and stone
steps is controlling the dust and has made then cleanable.
The wine cellar is filling up nicely!
The Client is delighted to now have a warm, comfortable space to use as a Theatre Room with the added bonus of a dedicated wine cellar. It has also made a difference to the temperature of the rooms immediately above.
