Primary closet, custom designed using two sections of Ikea Pax closet system in mixed colors (beige cabinets, white drawers and shelves, and dark gray rods) with plenty of pull out trays for jewelry and accessories organization, and glass drawers. Additionally, Ikea's Billy Bookcase was added for shallow storage (11" deep) for hats, bags, and overflow bathroom storage. Back of the bookcase was wallpapered in blue grass cloth textured peel & stick wallpaper for custom look without splurging. Short hanging area in the secondary wardrobe unit is planned for hanging bras, but could also be used for hanging folded scarves, handbags, shorts, or skirts. Shelves and rods fill in the remaining closet space to provide ample storage for clothes and accessories. Long hanging space is located on the same wall as the Billy bookcase and is hung extra high to keep floor space available for suitcases or a hamper. Recessed lights and decorative, gold star design flush mounts light the closet with crisp, neutral white light for optimal visibility and color rendition.

Photo: Mina Brinkey © 2013 Houzz The family room is a place for the children to gather round, watch TV and kick their feet up. It was designed for comfort and entertaining, as her sons' friends frequent often. Missy pieced together two images she found on Houzz to present to her carpenter, Billy Covey, who then brought the images to life. Missy chose utilitarian furnishings. "Is it functional and will it be durable enough to handle six growing boys?" The furnishings throughout the house are well placed and utilitarian. Wall and ceiling color: White Dove, Benjamin Moore; built-in paint color: Grizzle Gray, Sherwin Williams

Home office - tropical home office idea in Tampa

_Photograph by Kim Schmidt_ The modular sofa is the "Lotus Sofa" from Soft Line Design, which I configured specifically for the apartment. It was also chosen because it was deep enough for someone to sleep on, adding extra room for overnight guests in such a small apartment. The custom printed solar shade is by Delia Shades in New York. The image is of one of the client's favorite Billie Holliday albums from the 1950's. Not only did it keep the room cooler and protect it from UV rays but it was particularly interesting because its translucency changed given the time of day. In the daylight, the light caused the image to become almost hidden but slowly became more obvious as day turned to night. A night-time shot of the shade can be seen in the next photograph. The black lacquer mini-writing desk and the square white lacquer dining table are from West Elm and they were chosen for their compact size and functionality. The floor is also from West Elm. The carpets are vintage Moroccan from the clients collection. The modular bookcases are from Design Within Reach. I love its flexible design because you can work with it any space. They are incredibly sturdy and durable.
