"Having the kitchen and living room
be one room — the room you first enter off the street — helps. It eases the
apprehension you often feel when entering a house."
The McNallys ripped out two sets of walls to
create their open living room-kitchen. The beams exposed in the
demolition were too ugly, so McNally bought these from a New Hampshire
source.
The mismatched chairs are from Cap Sud (218 Lafayette St.; 212-219-8508).
The floors are old wide-board pine, bought in New England and installed and
refinished by Norwegian Wood (942 Grand St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn;
718-218-8880).
