A large, open space incorporates
the living room, dining area and kitchen. Exposed ducts and track
lighting add to the industrial vibe. "Track lights like these are great
for a loft space they are flexible, and you can change the downlights
to highlight artwork or as you rearrange the furniture," Tiesi says.

All of the flooring is reclaimed hickory, sourced through Provenance Old Soul Architectural Salvage in Philadelphia, one of Tiesi's favorite sources.

This is the view from the kitchen the den is on the right.

The family also wanted a
reclaimed barn wood wall in the den. Tiesi purchased the barn wood
through Provenance, and her carpenter spent a lot of time arranging the
pieces before landing on this composition.

She also highlighted
blues throughout the home, as seen on the other walls of the den.
Another salvaged fire door from Olde Good Things is on the left.

The room is also a great space for watching TV without the noise spreading throughout the entire apartment.

Reclaimed windows add to the
industrial character and grab light from the exterior windows for the
den. Tiesi found these at Olde Good Things — she recommends the
Scranton, Pennsylvania, location for the best deals.

Salvaged
factory pieces serve as the dining table's base, and the top is
reclaimed wood. Tolix French café chairs also add industrial style.
Tiesi found the Sara Chandelier at Grange, which brings in the blue via its glass shades and the industrial through the metal structure and exposed wires.

The main living space has casual
elegance but still honors the building's industrial past. Chairs crafted
of salvaged metal pieces welded together pick up on the other
industrial accents. "Believe it or not, these chairs are really
comfortable — the angle of the backs are pitched perfectly," Tiesi says.

A large marble-topped island
grounds the kitchen. The marble is reclaimed from historic Independence
Mall in Philadelphia. There is a salvaged metal trough found at
Provenance in the middle. "The owners had seen a modern trough elsewhere
and loved the idea, so we sourced one that went along with the
industrial look," Tiesi says. "It's great for filling with ice and
champagne or beers for a party, or lining up little plants — they can
just keep switching it out."

Eye-popping bedding from Kevin O'Brien takes center stage in the master bedroom.

Tongue and groove poplar boards
add a rustic touch to the master bathroom, while a Minwax stain adds
more of the loft's blue accent color. A salvaged sink lived its former
life in the Tastykake factory in Philadelphia. Tiesi had the folks at
Provenance, where she found it, strip it down to keep the rustic look.

One
thing Tiesi notes about salvaging is that it can pose some unforeseen
challenges — for example, she mounted Dornbracht faucets to the walls
without too much trouble (in the factory, the water came down from
overhead) but she and her plumber had quite a time finding just the
right piece to fit the drain hole.
