Some Lofty Ideas

In a city like Pittsburgh, there isn't much "new" construction. However, Pittsburgh certainly does have a plethora of really great, old buildings. New loft units are popping up left and right in trendy, up and coming neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and Garfield. For many people, especially people who were born and raised in the suburbs, the allure of city life and the availability of some really cool living spaces has made moving closer to the city more attractive than it was in the past.

Our very own, Stacy Weiss has recently moved from her amazing home in Squirrel Hill to a bright and open loft in Shadyside. Stacy shared some tips for designing her own loft that can be adapted to your space whether it's a loft, spacious apartment or a home with an open floor plan. "Take advantage of the ceiling height, hang art floor to ceiling and warm up your space with rugs." Stacy also said, "Just because it's a loft, does not mean that it has to be/look sparse."

For a little more design inspiration, check out one of our past blogs where we staged the Glass Lofts. It was featured on our website and in Pittsburgh Magazine. http://www.pittsburghmagazine.com/Pittsburgh-Magazine/July-2011/Glass-Lofts-in-Garfield/
