Side table action One of my must-haves in a bedroom is a side table or a night stand to some. Due to its essential use serving so many important purposes since the beginning of time, its a must that we choose the right table to fit in with our everyday lives. We have the option to dress it up with a very funky lamp or a simple desk light. You also can simply stack up some of your favorite novels and a fresh vase of flowers to liven things up as well.Here I oppted for a very modern and timeless night stand making sure that this area is a completely clutter free zone fully equipped with a handy protection crystal and some beautiful thrifted accessories to go along. What’s on your night stand? na·ma·ste - My soul honors your soul. I honor the love, light, beauty truth and kindness within you because it is also within me. In sharing these things there is no distance and no difference between us. We are the same, we are one.

Mudroom — Project Description (Bolton, CT) (Reconfiguration • Custom Storage • Functional Entry Design) The original mudroom layout was cramped and inefficient, offering minimal storage and poor traffic flow. The garage door opened directly into a wall, the single corner closet provided limited accessibility to its sides, and there was no place for shoes, coats, or everyday landing items. The space lacked both organization and visual appeal. Key Issues in the Old Layout Garage door swung into a side wall, restricting movement Small corner closet with poor left/right access and inadequate capacity No dedicated shoe storage No seating or landing surface No mirror, making the space feel smaller and less functional Overall layout did not support daily use or family workflow New Layout & Built-In Storage Solutions The mudroom was completely reconfigured to create a balanced, efficient, and visually cohesive entry zone that supports everyday routines and maximizes available space. Wall-to-Wall Back Closet Full-width custom closet spans the entire back wall Equipped with double pocket doors for effortless access without blocking circulation Interior fitted with coat hanging space and top shelving for seasonal items Full-Height Shoe & Accessory Storage A dedicated tall cabinet provides: Bottom half: organized shoe storage Top half: adjustable shelves for accessories, baskets, or household essentials Built-In Combo Opposite the Closet A custom multifunctional unit includes: Walnut bench top for warmth, texture, and a natural design element Two deep drawers beneath the bench for gloves, hats, pet items, etc. Full-height mirror strategically placed to visually expand the room Open hanging storage for quick-access items Upper enclosed cabinet with adjustable shelving for concealed storage Additional Enhancements The garage door swing was reversed for proper ergonomics and easier entry Added crown molding throughout the space for a cohesive, finished look consistent with the rest of the renovation Upgraded lighting brightens the room and enhances the sense of cleanliness and order

Each of these genius solutions is designed to solve a specific kitchen storage problem, ranging from tangled cords to piled-high pans, so you can focus less on finding a spot for your pots, pans, and produce, and more on actually enjoying delicious meals with your family.

The starting point of the overall design plan was to change one of the entry points in this kitchen from a narrow doorway to a beautiful archway. Because the existing breakfast nook featured an archway, we decided to mimic that architectural element to create a cohesive look. We paired the white cabinetry with a white quartz countertop that features pretty gray veins. And to complement the design, we added a counter-to-ceiling classic subway tile for the backsplash. The gorgeous Café appliances in matte white help elevate the aesthetics of this room. While the white color helps the appliances blend with the white cabinets, the brass handles and details make them stand out. There is a harmonious tension between the black and brass accessories that bring so much energy into this space. We added open shelving to create a visual interest right above the farmhouse-style sink. The black metal shelves from Cascade Iron filled the gap between the two windows and help in creating an instant focal point. We’ve styled the bottom shelves with everyday items while keeping the pretty decorative items on the top shelf.

Bianco Textured TFL with Shaker Style door and drawer fronts for a fresh, bright feel. We gave the closet additional interest with a pop of color by painting the wall behind the open shelves and hanging rods a rich blue. Since she had a significant number of formal dresses, we gave them plenty of space. Two full-length wardrobe style closets were set aside for formal wear, with another closet for everyday dresses. Detailing on the cabinet doors was important here to give the closet a sophisticated appearance. I pinned separate top and bottom doors together for single full height, easy-opening doors. We even put in a locking cabinet so she can hide gifts from the kids! The center island houses drawers for accessories and a tilt-out bin for dry cleaning and laundry. She also dreamt of seating at one end of her island so she wouldn’t have go to another room to sit to put on her shoes.

Sited on a quiet street in Palo Alto, this new home is a warmer take on the popular modern farmhouse style. Rather than high contrast and white clapboard, earthy stucco and warm stained cedar set the scene of a forever home for an active and growing young family. The heart of the home is the large kitchen and living spaces opening the entire rear of the house to a lush, private backyard. Downstairs is a full basement, designed to be kid-centric with endless spaces for entertaining. A private master suite on the second level allows for quiet retreat from the chaos and bustle of everyday. Interior Design: Jeanne Moeschler Interior Design Photography: Reed Zelezny
