The place we are staying is so good that it deserves a post of its own. The apartment at 2 Clanricarde Gardens is just around the corner from the BYU Centre and right in the heart of the area we love. The owner and his family who lived here now live in the next street over. They originally built the second-story addition on what was an unusual ground-floor-only apartment. He recently remodeled the place with incredible care, attention to detail, and wonderful taste. If I had done it, I wouldn't want the unwashed of the world staying here, but here we are.
2 Clanricarde Gardens
The entry with its original Victorian mantlepiece,
carefullly stripped back to slate
The original Victorian structural tile jack arches
in the ceiling were exposed
Beautiful Slate -- looks like dark soapstone
Our bedroom: custom cornice box for the draperies
Antique rococo mirror is a fabulous contrast with the modern interior
Mirror detail
The throw on the bed is soft Scottish mohair
Heated tile floors in the spirit of Victorian
encaustic tiles
Speaking of Victorian encaustic tiles: les voilá:
entry hall of the building
A wonderful sparklingly clean shower
The living area is in the upstairs addition
Sitting area with huge sliding doors open to a small deck
The view is the windows on the landing in the front
entry of the building
Stairwell and kitchen beyond -- custom bent steel handrail
There were no reviews when we booked, so we may be some of his first guests.
