Nirmada: Interior Design in New York City

So far the renovation of our client’s kitchen on the Upper West Side is progressing without any major glitches. Demo started yesterday, and the strangest thing we found was the original hardwood floor underneath the existing linoleum tile. No big deal, but a transition consideration. The contractor, Howard Klein and I worked out what type and thickness of subfloor to put down,  how to deal with the transition and to lay out the tile.

Even though I had verified that the wall we were removing was not structural, I was having nightmares that we might find something unexpected, like a plumbing chase, behind the wall. Howard was nice enough to take the sledge hammer to the wall so that we could be sure there was nothing major hindering our progress. Sure enough, nothing, and the guys proceeded like pros!:
