FRONT VIEW- Inspired by the west coast home style, this Traditional (inspired Craftsman) style model reflects a timeless home with a look that is always in demand. From its striking “L” shape, with a triple garage that boasts a 668 sq.ft. of bonus space on its second level, and covered porches in both front and back, this beautiful home has something for everyone! Upon entering high ceilings, reaching almost 18’ in the foyer and the family room, add to the appeal of the main level's well thought out floor plan. A remarkable master suite has its own fireplace and well appointed bathroom that is accessible through a his and hers style walk-in closet. The abundantly fenestrated living/dining area has a second fireplace that can be enjoyed from both sides and the kitchen has a large central island, walk-in pantry and a delightful breakfast nook that overlooks the view from the back terrace. The separate laundry/mud room off of the garage entrance to the house adds to the livability of this home with features made to measure for today’s larger, blended families. Upstairs there is a second master suite and the two other bedrooms share a bathroom with its own shower. The reading/computer corner on the mezzanine overlooks the family room below and the 14’ x 41’8” bonus space above the garage, accessible from this level, provides room to grow!

THE SETUP “You have to figure out how to rebuild a life worth living,” Basia Kozub’s client says. Her husband passed away suddenly three years ago. Holidays with family became more important, and she found herself struggling with a 37-year old kitchen that was falling apart. “I made a decision to move forward,” she says. “I went, ‘You know what? I’m redoing the kitchen.'” The big task of getting started was as easy as having a conversation – literally. Basia was on the job, helping the client sort through priorities, wishes and ideas. Basia’s client is 5′ 4″, likes keeping an eye on the kiddoes in the backyard and wanted certain things to have their own place. THE REMODEL The objectives were: Enlarge and open the space Find a classic look that incorporates blues Upgrade to easy-to-use appliances Hide an office space within the space Ample storage for dishes Design challenges: Uneven window alignment on the back wall Original kitchen smaller than desired, stuctural concerns if walls to be moved Keep folks close – figure out seating for entertaining Main sink in corner is ideal, but windows are hard to reach Lots of storage needed for dishes, glass collection, pantry items, bar bottles and office supplies Specific storage needs for oft-used spices and utensils THE RENEWED SPACE Design solutions: Replace back wall windows, establish window size continuity Take out two walls to open up the space, tall shallow cabinet and a tall filler added to conceal a new header Large island that seats six easily Custom corner sink cabinet with recessed edge allows vertically challenged homeowner to reach the windows Mindful storage planning features: plenty of cabinets, pull-out bar bottle storage, file drawers & cubbies with pocket doors for office appliances, magic corner pullouts, and appliance garages with pocket doors Shelf behind range for easy access to daily-use spices and oils. Also: spice and utensil pullouts on either side of range The clients says every priority and wish box got checked. The highly functional design absorbed everything that used to be in that area of the house, but now those things are out of the way. “In the past, we were all spread out when we gathered for the holidays, because we had to spread out. Now, we’re all in here together, including my 92-year old mother. We’re visiting, cooking, laughing… everyone is here. And I’m really learning how to use these appliances. This kitchen has given me a whole new life.”

For this project, I sorted through paper and other possessions in the home office area to purge and find better storage for them. In some cases, items didn't have places to go, so we created those. Much of the paper was no longer needed and recycled. Archive paper was filed away and paper in current use was filed into desktop receptacles for easy access. The client and I instituted a simple daily routine of putting things away that landed on the desk to keep it clear and make it an inviting place to work.
