This corner drawer has a peg system to organize the plates. Compared to using a lazy-susan in your kitchen corners, corner drawers are very accessible.

Mark Cohen of Samson Construction & Development in Los Angeles (phone: 310-930-6710) built this full privacy gate and horizontal contemporary fence for his client. They used the 8” Dark Bronze Square Plate Lever Latch as the closure, as well as three Dark Bronze Ball Tip Heavy Duty Hinges. We love how tasteful and simple it all looks together! And because this home is near the ocean, bronze was an excellent choice of hardware. It will stand the test of time (and salt air!) Mark Cohen, Samson Construction & Development

Goals While their home provided them with enough square footage, the original layout caused for many rooms to be underutilized. The closed off kitchen and dining room were disconnected from the other common spaces of the home causing problems with circulation and limited sight-lines. A tucked-away powder room was also inaccessible from the entryway and main living spaces in the house. Our Design Solution We sought out to improve the functionality of this home by opening up walls, relocating rooms, and connecting the entryway to the mudroom. By moving the kitchen into the formerly over-sized family room, it was able to really become the heart of the home with access from all of the other rooms in the house. Meanwhile, the adjacent family room was made into a cozy, comfortable space with updated fireplace and new cathedral style ceiling with skylights. The powder room was relocated to be off of the entry, making it more accessible for guests. A transitional style with rustic accents was used throughout the remodel for a cohesive first floor design. White and black cabinets were complimented with brass hardware and custom wood features, including a hood top and accent wall over the fireplace. Between each room, walls were thickened and archway were put in place, providing the home with even more character.
