Harlem Residence Playroom
http://mabbottseidel.com

A cookie cutter developer three bedroom duplex was transformed into a four bedroom family friendly home complete with fine details and custom millwork. Transoms were added to improve light and air circulation.

Instead of providing separate bedrooms for the two young children, we designed a single large bedroom with a sliding wall of Douglas fir. Half of the space can be configured as a playroom, with the children sleeping on the other side. The playroom can also function as a guest room.

great colour--what is the floor covering and where did you get it? »

Mabbott Seidel Architecture Thanks for your compliment. The floor tiles are from Flor. They're reasonably priced and have some nice colors, especially for kids rooms. We've also had good luck with using multiple colors. The wood floor is Douglas Fir. Hope this helps.
