**★★★★★ — Johnny Osipchak, Nov. 2014**

> I highly recommend Virginia for anyone considering starting a renovation and/or interior design project. Virginia is very knowledgeable, creative and a detail oriented Architect. She is very friendly and approachable person who clearly has her client's best interest at heart.  Anyone who uses Virginia services will understand that she is second to none and a true pleasure to work with on any project big or small.

**★★★★★ — ginadeferrari, Aug. 2014**

> I highly recommend August Architecture.  Dealing with Virginia Steele was a real pleasure.  She is very knowledgeable and professional.  She did a feasibility study for me for adding a porch to my 1930s home which is in a historic district.  My house has some challenging site restrictions.  Virginia did all the research and met with all the right people.  She got me all the information I needed in order to decide whether or not to proceed with my project.  She also discussed with me the pros and cons of different porch locations.  For now, I’ve put my project on hold, but when I’m ready I definitely plan to hire August Architecture.  I recommend them without any reservation.

  - Description: This kitchen was not only small but very inefficient. The clients wanted a kitchen that worked with the style of the house and very comfortably accommodated two cooks at all times. They also wanted to stay true to the 1939 cape cod floor plan. We are firm believers that any space can be efficient. You just need to have a clearly defined program and be creative about how to obtain the space you want. Keeping in mind light, form, and function, we relocated some of the appliances in order open up t…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Toilet cabinet** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can I purchase the wall cabinet above the toilet?  This is a perfect solution for my very small guest bath.

A: Thank you for your inquiry.  The budget on this project was very small so we actually purchased this cabinet from a second hand.  I'm not sure who actually sells this particular cabinet but you can find similar ones from Target.com and search by "over the toilet etagere."  If you are looking for something similar but higher end than Target, here is a link to a similar cabinet I think you might be able to purchase through Houzz:    You can also Google "over the toilet storage" and lots of similar cabinets will come up.  Best of luck to you.

**Q: Need help with different size windows in same room** *(in Design Dilemma)*

As a result of combining two small rooms into one large room, the room now contains windows of two different sizes.  The room goes from the front of the house to the back.  The window on the front of the house is 4' x 3'.  The windows on the side of the room and back wall are 3' x 3'.  Is there any way to camouflage the smaller windows to make them appear the same size as the 4' x 3'?  We don't want to replace any of the windows as they match the sides where they are on the outside of the house.  Are there shutters made for this purpose?

A: What you are suggesting is very possible, but probably not something you can buy ready to install without any modifications.  Without actually seeing how far the sill extends into the room, my suggestion would be for you to find a good professional finish carpenter and tell him or her exactly what you want.  They would then know what size standard shutters to buy and what necessary trim or/and fillers to add on the sides and bottom to make it work.  Just keep in mind though that when the shutters are open, the light coming in through the shutter slots during the day will still reflect a different height in the sills.  Good luck to you.
