Looking to update your traditional space? Designer Julie Charbonneau shows us how she shifted to a more contemporary style when she bought a 1920s industrial loft. Lynda Reeves tours through the sleek white living room with exposed brick and glossy epoxy floors, custom kitchen with durable acrylic counters, pared-back bedroom and luxurious bathroom.
See more of this loft in our February 2012 issue.
