Love this! Are the walls a white washed or pickled pine? cedar? - I've been looking at doing this with cedar but thinking pine would be much more cost effective while achieving a similar look and feel. I'd really appreciate some insight on proper product and application. Thank you in advance! »
the sink, the pedestal the sink is on, where to get something like that at?? - i think that sink & what the sink is on is just the neatest!!! that whole bathroom is gorgeous, i have never seen a sink or the pedestal or whatever you call what the sink sets on, this really caught my eye!!!!!! »
How did you antique the green base (under the sink) - I have carved dining room chairs and want to change the finish to a very pale green/ or greenish cream. I can take them down to the bare wood I would like to use a professional refinished that works with my upholsterer but I think I need to know exactly how to get the desired result. They will make samples for me but the more info I have the more comfortable I'll be to give the go ahead. I also would welcome any referral in or near Philadelphia. Thanks so much

Exposed copper piping in the bathroom allows the homeowners to easily drain the pipes and shut the cabin down when necessary. The hot water is from a propane heater; the Milanos have to carry in the propane tanks.
In old homes in Philadelphia, where I work, it is common to encounter mortise lock sets that are still going strong after 100 or more years. Recently we started working on a house from the 1700s with original interior door hardware that is still working. Installing building materials that will last is friendly to the environment and your wallet. Consider life-cycle costs. How much energy goes into making, packaging and shipping doorknobs that need to be replaced every 10 years?
Benjamin Moore's Aura in Sugar Cookie cut 50% with water, brushed on over #2 pine tongue and groove boards and wiped back off shortly there after. We had to treat it with a white glove policy while installing it as we pre-finished
The old doors and tub were purchased at Mason Brothers Architectural Salvage, and the bathroom sink is placed on an old metal grain feeder that Eric and Phiona picked up at an antiques shop.
