Example of a small transitional home design design in New York

Entry from garage was formerly an awkward, useless space. Now there are storage cabinets and hanging over the washer and dryer. On the opposite end are two benches with coat, backpack and shoe storage. Corner shelves join the benches for overflow pantry storage.

Relaxed modern entryway.

Joanne Bechhoff Vacant Staging - This small wall situated between a breakfast area and the sliding glass doors of the family room also looked straight down the main hallway of the house. With such an open floor plan we chose an accent table that serves as an additional surface for entertaining purposes. We added a mirror above creating visual interest and reflecting additional light in the space.

From Cramped and Awkward to Delightfully Spacious. We recently completed a project for a client in Bronxville NY, who had purchased a newly renovated home. Among its new features was a less than inspiring builder grade kitchen. Nothing in this misguided renovation was to the new owners taste, nor did it function well. Out went the “Box Store” cabinets and laminate counters, as well as the awkward wall that shoved the refrigerator into an odd corner. At our suggestion, the client switched the locations of the family room and the dining room, placing the dining room now as part of the kitchen and allowing for much better flow. The old layout was replaced with a much more workable “L” shape, augmented by a spacious island. The microwave relocated from over the range to a much better placement in the island, enabled us to include a beautiful hood, creating a lovely focal point. Painted Mouser cabinets and granite countertops complete the look. Now the kitchen functions much more efficiently and looks fabulous!
