New York City Project, Part 7 of 10

 At the project house in Brooklyn, master carpenter Norm Abram learns how local wood refinisher John Thomas is using a faux painting technique to disguise old and damaged woodwork. The custom kitchen is installed in the owner's unit, while design correspondent Carole Freehauf meets Ian Gibbs at his SoHo showroom to see window treatment options and how the shades are custom made in his Queens workroom. Tile contractor Mauro Zanutto arranges a mud bed for tile on the garden level floor; upstairs in the master bath, he prepares to lay the mosaic floor by doing a complete dry layout. In the garden-level apartment, the finished countertops arrive for the kitchen.
