The article details the extensive renovation of a row house that suffered severe water damage due to a burst pipe over the Christmas holiday in 2023. Designer Paulina Hospod recalls how the mishap was fortuitous, leading to a much-needed restoration of the poorly constructed home. Previously renovated by a developer in 2011, the house had low-quality materials and lacked original details. Aha!nteriors, co-founded by Hospod and family, undertook the restoration after a mold remediation, focusing on creating a quality living space for the homeowners who wished for a functional and beautiful environment for their family.
"Over Christmas in 2023, an uninsulated pipe in an exterior wall froze and burst while my clients were away for a week. A neighbor realized water was coming through and alerted the vacationing homeowners."
"In many ways, Hospod said, the disaster was for the best. Her clients had purchased the house after it was totally rebuilt in 2011, with original detail thoroughly scrapped and an extra floor added atop the narrow building."
