How amazing is this reclaimed brick used as flooring?! These “Dark Pink” Chicago common bricks add warmth and rustic, old-world charm to this contemporary residence in Nashville’s Hillwood neighborhood.
Homeowner Lee and his wife reviewed three different batches of masonry before settling on the creamy pinks and beiges of this lot salvaged from a demolition site just down the road from our Kedzie yard. It’s always fun to work with a construction professionals on their own homes — having seen and worked on hundreds of projects themselves, they’re creative, patient, detail-oriented, and really appreciate unique and well-made materials!
Designer Emily Haraf of EH interiors came up with the innovative choice of floor tile, which continues up and around the main fireplace to accent the hearth’s herringbone pattern of white fire brick. We also love the way she used pink cabinets and quirky wallpaper to play off the colors of the brick inside the powder room.
