Inside the home, the interior has been brightened up with white walls and a light wood floor. A glimpse of the original brick wall has been incorporated into a small shelving nook beside the dining table.

Further into the home is the kitchen, it too has been kept white. To break up the white kitchen, a light gray countertop and colorful shelves under the upper cabinets have been installed. A vertical window provides natural light and views to the backyard.

And tucked away in the mudroom is a custom-built dog wash station, that has a step (with storage) for the dog to easily get in and out.
