This project involved reworking the entire first floor of an existing two story home. Dark spaces interrupted by a confusing and awkward circulation pattern have been replaced with light filled spaces and a rational path from room to room. It's a lesson that quality of space trumps quantity of space every time. Visit http://tinyurl.com/3hyhqb3 to see more pictures of this project including some before photos. Photography by Tony May

By relocating the sink and dishwasher to the island the new kitchen layout allows the owners to engage with guests seated at the island and the banquette while maintaining a view to the outdoor terrace.

Garden shed - small transitional detached garden shed idea in Raleigh

California Closets custom pantry in Italian imported Linen finish from the Tesoro collection. Minneapolis home located in Linden Hills with built-in storage for fruits, vegetables, bulk purchases and overflow space. Baskets with canvas liners. Open drawers for cans and boxed goods. Open shelving and countertop space for larger appliances.

This dark, dreary kitchen was large, but not being used well. The family of 7 had outgrown the limited storage and experienced traffic bottlenecks when in the kitchen together. A bright, cheerful and more functional kitchen was desired, as well as a new pantry space. We gutted the kitchen and closed off the landing through the door to the garage to create a new pantry. A frosted glass pocket door eliminates door swing issues. In the pantry, a small access door opens to the garage so groceries can be loaded easily. Grey wood-look tile was laid everywhere. We replaced the small window and added a 6’x4’ window, instantly adding tons of natural light. A modern motorized sheer roller shade helps control early morning glare. Three free-floating shelves are to the right of the window for favorite décor and collectables. White, ceiling-height cabinets surround the room. The full-overlay doors keep the look seamless. Double dishwashers, double ovens and a double refrigerator are essentials for this busy, large family. An induction cooktop was chosen for energy efficiency, child safety, and reliability in cooking. An appliance garage and a mixer lift house the much-used small appliances. An ice maker and beverage center were added to the side wall cabinet bank. The microwave and TV are hidden but have easy access. The inspiration for the room was an exclusive glass mosaic tile. The large island is a glossy classic blue. White quartz countertops feature small flecks of silver. Plus, the stainless metal accent was even added to the toe kick! Upper cabinet, under-cabinet and pendant ambient lighting, all on dimmers, was added and every light (even ceiling lights) is LED for energy efficiency. White-on-white modern counter stools are easy to clean. Plus, throughout the room, strategically placed USB outlets give tidy charging options.

Shed - country shed idea in Boise

A dumbwaiter connects the kitchen to the other areas of the home. This was an architect-designed home from the sixties, with lots of California thinking in the construction, including a flat roof, minimal insulation, and floor to ceiling glass. The original bedrooms and bath on the main floor were tight, and the kitchen and small family room were dark and cut off from the light and spacious living and dining room area. The previous owners had decided to cover the interior with faux-Colonial trim and wallpaper. We could have gone up another story to create a new master suite and children’s bedrooms, but that would have made the house far larger than actually needed. Instead, we maximized the lower floor area, turning the daylight basement into an adult retreat with a spacious master bedroom and bath, looking out over the garden. A lower floor den could be used as a nursery until children were old enough to move upstairs.
