A fold-out ironing board is hidden behind a false drawer front. This ironing board swivels for comfort and is the perfect place to touch up a collar and cuffs or press a freshly laundered table cloth. Peggy Woodall - designer

By removing a wall, the kitchen was opened up to both the dining room and living room. A structural column for the building was in the middle of the space; by covering it in wood paneling, the column became a distinctive architecture feature helping to define the space. To add lighting to a concrete ceiling, a false ceiling clad in wood was designed to allow for LED can lights; the cove was curved to match the shape of the building. Hardware restored from Broyhill Brasilia furniture was used as cabinet pulls, and the unit’s original Lightolier ceiling light fixtures were rewired and replated.

The Great Room This was originally a large screening room that the client wanted to re-purpose for entertainment. The structure was an addition to the house forming a separate wing with multiple points of entry to the outdoors. The desire was to vault the hip-roof stricture to the apex and create a light airy feeling with high ceilings, exposed timbers, and a focal point of an antique fireplace. Structural considerations required sizeable steel truss beams to hold the ceiling structure together at the ridge. The trick was to get them in without significant disruption to the existing roof structure. The exposed “timbers” were applied as false beams pressed from foam so as to remain lightweight. The fireplace surround came from an old French farmhouse and was modified to be attached to a hidden steel structure in the wall. The overall effect with lighting and furnishings is a grand space suitable for entertaining and outflow to the gardens and terraces surrounding the structure.

Download our free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW This master bath remodel is the cat's meow for more than one reason! The materials in the room are soothing and give a nice vintage vibe in keeping with the rest of the home. We completed a kitchen remodel for this client a few years’ ago and were delighted when she contacted us for help with her master bath! The bathroom was fine but was lacking in interesting design elements, and the shower was very small. We started by eliminating the shower curb which allowed us to enlarge the footprint of the shower all the way to the edge of the bathtub, creating a modified wet room. The shower is pitched toward a linear drain so the water stays in the shower. A glass divider allows for the light from the window to expand into the room, while a freestanding tub adds a spa like feel. The radiator was removed and both heated flooring and a towel warmer were added to provide heat. Since the unit is on the top floor in a multi-unit building it shares some of the heat from the floors below, so this was a great solution for the space. The custom vanity includes a spot for storing styling tools and a new built in linen cabinet provides plenty of the storage. The doors at the top of the linen cabinet open to stow away towels and other personal care products, and are lighted to ensure everything is easy to find. The doors below are false doors that disguise a hidden storage area. The hidden storage area features a custom litterbox pull out for the homeowner’s cat! Her kitty enters through the cutout, and the pull out drawer allows for easy clean ups. The materials in the room – white and gray marble, charcoal blue cabinetry and gold accents – have a vintage vibe in keeping with the rest of the home. Polished nickel fixtures and hardware add sparkle, while colorful artwork adds some life to the space.
