We began this project with a blank wall and a dream for custom built-ins that would add clever storage and comfortable seating to a young girl's room. The goal of the project was to build a flexible space that could grow and change with it's owner over time. The custom built-ins were thoughtfully designed to allow for a combination of clothes storage, desk/work space, open book cases for display pieces and treasured books, and a cushioned bench where hours or reading and dreaming could take place. We chose a temporary wall covering for the back wall of the shelves that celebrates the room owner's current passion for woodland creatures but allows for easy removal when her tastes change in time. The soft velvet cushion invites you to curl up and read and the gold dragonfly drawer pulls add an element of whimsy to the toy storage below the bench.
