These clients had already moved their main closet into former attic space, which freed up their original closet to become storage. They were now ready for that space to become something totally new: a vanity area with a sink, extra storage, and a place to sit.

Though their main closet space was functional, the space wasn’t being used to its full potential. I designed the new closet to include additional shelves, drawers, and tall hanging space, as well as hooks for hats and belts.

For the design of the vanity area, I also focused on maximizing the space, incorporating wall cabinets that extend down to the cabinetry and internal components for accessory storage, while still maintaining a significant amount of usable counter space.

BEFORE

A textured wallcovering, white painted cabinetry, and decorative lighting came together to create a bright and fresh vanity area, and the additional functionality and updated accessories made the closet a dream dressing space.

AFTER

Yay, design!

This home is a family treasure; my client’s grandmother originally lived there, and my client now has the joy of keeping it in the family. The kitchen was original to the home and was in need of a refresh. My client wished to infuse new life into the space, adding to the home’s longevity.

AFTER

The space originally had a wall between the kitchen and a large front entry. With the wall gone, the space is much more welcoming, and allows for a permanent kitchen island and designated eating area. The client already had the kitchen layout established when I joined the project; I gave it the thumbs up and provided design solutions for the finishes and fixtures. We are thrilled with the rich tone of the cabinetry and how it contrasts with the variation in the flooring. And who doesn’t love a nice pop of blue in a glass tile backsplash?
