A bedroom turned multi-purpose room, this utilitarian storage/laundry/coat room serves as a great addition to the home, as before, they had no where to put these three functions in the house. To offset the masculine knotty alder, soft linen window treatments, an antique chandelier, and vintage glassware was added to the room to create the perfect balance. These feminine touches created a whimsical airiness that, combined with the rustic knotty wood, produces a sense of fairytale within a very utilitarian room.
