Restoration of Edwardian Flats

This Edwardian flat building was in need of some facade repairs, as well as a whole new updated color scheme. Some of the plaster corbels had fallen off and the original detailing was beginning to show some wear due to its age.  I matched and replaced the missing pieces of decorative plaster, replaced some worn metal roofing on the bay windows, and came up with a fresh color scheme.  I used a bold blue color for the base, a crisp, clean white for the trim, a deep blue as an accent color on horizontally running details, a historical burgundy color on the doors and window sashes, and a pewter metallic accent color to adorn parts of the cast plaster.  The result is a striking, classy facade which draws attention to all its beautiful original details.
