The Story

From Séverine:

My boyfriend is from Milan and wanted to move into a bigger apartment. When we visited this one, we were in love within minutes!

It is really difficult to find a big apartment full of light in the city so we were lucky. And it made my job a lot easier to work with good bones.

We completely remodeled the kitchen and both bathrooms; we also stripped the floor and changed the door frames and sockets, painted all the walls and created a little storage closet under the stairs and built in shelves in the living room.
