Modern Makeover

A builder's grade new house got a modern makeover by remodeling--removing standard "craftsman style" trim and infusing a modern sensibility with trimless detailing, bright white walls, modern lighting, pocket doors, and dark rich accents of wood, lacquer and paint.

This portion of the project is part of the addition. This dressing room was created off of the bathroom for a single occupant addition onto the house. It has an opening to the bedroom (not shown). Carved out finger pulls made for easy access to drawers and tall doors. Made entirely of solid walnut.
