Eco-friendly Victorian Remodel - Part 2

Before: A dreary stairwell

Typical of Victorian-era townhouses, the original stairwell was dark and confining.

After: Bring in natural light

Now, the Gosselins enjoy a more open landing and new skylights, along with open stair risers and a glass foyer wall.

Soften a modern edge

Colorful backsplash tiles contribute a mix of whimsy and history.

The Iznik design (annsacks.com) is based on 16th-century Turkish originals.

The kitchen also features eco-friendly cast-stone countertops and reclaimed wood floors and cabinets.

The look for less: square deal

Turn to Turkish tile for colorful flair, as in this handmade piece called Constantinople ($24 each; sintraantiquetiles.com or 305/856-3828).
