This traditional Baltimore rowhouse had been a second home for 25 years. Now living there full time, its owner found herself in a property that hadn't been updated for 12 years, surrounded by extra furniture gathered from the New York home she'd vacated.

She talks us through her ideas and gives us the guided tour of the refreshed forever home.
