I suppose the most challenging aspects of interior design are the details and I didn't realize there were so many until we took on this renovation project. Honestly, before now I'm not sure I ever really noticed the size and shape of trim pieces, the metal tone of light fixture finishes, or the detail of floor vents. In fact I'm sure I didn't notice any of it, but now I can't seem to ignore all these little details (at least in my own home).
When we purchased the house there were a few little things that were off. The most noticeable was the slate tile in the front foyer, which over the course of many Vermont winters and as the result of being incorrectly installed, was coming loose. We're pro-salvage (and deal finders) so we wanted to keep as much of the original tile as we could. Luckily we found an entire box of slate hidden away in a corner of the basement, but not enough to retile the entire foyer. We decided to get a little creative with the tile design so that our consequent mismatched slate tile looked intentional. How do you think we did?
