Smith & Vansant Architects PC Sorry, I don't have that information available. Our client had this in her possession from the beginning of the renovation project.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Slanted walls and dormers made for an already-cozy master bedroom, which received a light makeover. Windows were repaired and walls were repainted, while storage was enhanced with a reconfigured closet and new built-in drawers and shelves contained within a knee wall (not shown; opposite the bed). Knee walls are common on the second floor of Capes. Instead of having the of the room extend all the way to where the roofline meets the floor, they cut off this space at about three to four feet high. "There are little triangles behind knee walls that can be used for shelves or drawers," Smith says.

A dormer window and slanted walls create a snug nook for a bed in this Cape Cod–style room. Antiques and layers of bedding make it inviting.See the rest of this home
