Even during the winter months, this room just off the kitchen remains cozy thanks to the wood burning stove in the corner. The custom window treatments and carefully selected oriental rug coordinate to provide a visual warmth to match.

A comfortable reading nook with a tranquil color palette. The Edwardian style chair is upholstered in linen. The ruffled slipcover for the ottoman is done in a mix of linens and lace trim. The floor lamp is vintage Art Nouveau. The beaded shade is a reproduction. Vintage Eastlake door hardware is used to frame miniature paintings. The impressionist paintings are by local Bucks County artist, Jennifer Hanson Rolli.

Originally there was a single sink in the middle of this 8' long countertop. To fully utilize the space we added a second sink and moved them to the sides, In the center we added an upper cabinet for storage. This cabinet has shelves behind a seeded glass door. A pull out hamper is concealed in the lower left cabinet. Pivot mirrors can tilt and are lit with recessed lights. The lights are positioned so the beam spreads will overlap and fully light the mirror. The solid wood cabinets are painted Sherwin Williams Network Grey. The 12' x 12" ceramic tile floor looks like travertine stone and is set in a bond pattern.

The ability to alter and adjust components addresses concerns for accessibility. The shower seat is moveable or removable. The curved grab bar is functional and attractive. The sliding glass shower door can be partially or completely removed. The Hansgrohe hand shower is placed on an adjustable bar making it possible to shower in a seated or standing position. The thermostatic shower control features an anti-scald safety stop to protect against water scalding. The shower controls are placed at the shower entrance. This allows the water temperature and flow to be properly adjusted before immersing body parts in the water. Not only is the toilet comfort height, the skirted design simplifies cleaning and the dual flush is environmentally friendly.

Natural linens, vintage chrocheted pieces and lace trim were used to dress the bed. The metal daybed frame is Edwardian in style. The iron accent on the tea table imparts an industrial feel.

This closet was lined with cedar, which added character to the room. We removed the doors and left the cedar intact. To avoid nail holes the existing clothing rod was used to hang items with large iron "S" hooks. The petite desk provides a work surface for letter writing, using a laptop or tablet, or a craft area. A Thonet style chair tucks neatly into the space. Small portable tables with shelving and wire baskets were used to store supplies and display decorative accessories.

It was arduous to find space for sleeping, reading, sewing, writing, painting and sitting - all within a 168 square foot room. Success depended on creative use of every nook and savvy space planning. There were two closets, so one was repurposed into a small office area. The mesh bins are used for storing sewing materials or other craft supplies.
