East Boston Project (Part 18 of 18)
It's a wrap for the THIS OLD HOUSE East Boston project. After a
short ride on the Blue Line - the first subway in the world to run
underneath a section of the ocean - master carpenter Norm Abram and
host Kevin O'Connor arrive in East Boston to find furniture being
delivered, a tent going up and flat screen TVs being installed.
Upstairs, custom cafe shutters complete the casual, cottage look
for homeowner Chris Flynn, while downstairs, the grout on the glass
tile backsplash is being finished in the first-floor unit. Interior
designer Lisey Good shows Kevin how she used paint color, lighting
and furniture to create a "boutique hotel" look for homeowner Liz
Bagley, while upstairs, kitchen designer Kathy Marshall shows
plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey the cottage kitchen
and bath she designed with the help of beadboard, quartz
countertops, white appliances and rustic tile. With the two-family
home complete, and two happy homeowners, the crew bids farewell to
the unique seaside neighborhood of East Boston.
