Ep 5. Wing Lounge

On the main level of the west wing is the original laundry room where clothes were washed by hand. Despite its lack of flooring and crumbling walls, Catherine and Tayloe want to turn this space into a lounge for their guests. This is a massive undertaking with a lot of intricate details, like a suspended wood ceiling, opening up a brick wall to reveal the original archway, repurposing an old church pew and a very delicate piece of stained glass, incorporating the Tayloe family crest. They even use a piece of an old Mt Airy tree to create a table.
