Family room library - large mid-century modern open concept carpeted and brown floor family room library idea in Austin

The dining room was relocated and turned into a huge walk-in pantry with storage and a wine cooler. The butler's pantry offers a place to hold decorative items and serving pieces.

The 7,600 square-foot residence was designed for large, memorable gatherings of family and friends at the lake, as well as creating private spaces for smaller family gatherings. Keeping in dialogue with the surrounding site, a palette of natural materials and finishes was selected to provide a classic backdrop for all activities, bringing importance to the adjoining environment. In optimizing the views of the lake and developing a strategy to maximize natural ventilation, an ideal, open-concept living scheme was implemented. The kitchen, dining room, living room and screened porch are connected, allowing for the large family gatherings to take place inside, should the weather not cooperate. Two main level master suites remain private from the rest of the program; yet provide a complete sense of incorporation. Bringing the natural finishes to the interior of the residence, provided the opportunity for unique focal points that complement the stunning stone fireplace and timber trusses.

I took a very crowded and dysfunctional space and created a beautiful place to hold office items. I added additional shelving to the closet to make better use of the space and provide more room to house storage containers!

Inspiration for a modern hallway remodel in Phoenix

Huge re-model including taking ceiling from a flat ceiling to a complete transformation. Bamboo custom cabinetry was given a grey stain, mixed with walnut strip on the bar and the island given a different stain. Huge amounts of storage from deep pan corner drawers, roll out trash, coffee station, built in refrigerator, wine and alcohol storage, appliance garage, pantry and appliance storage, the amounts go on and on. Floating shelves with a back that just grabs the eye takes this kitchen to another level. The clients are thrilled with this huge difference from their original space.

Mid-sized mountain style ceramic tile eat-in kitchen photo in Minneapolis with a farmhouse sink, flat-panel cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, wood countertops, white backsplash, ceramic backsplash, stainless steel appliances and no island

Here you can see the island end panels and posts that were built as one piece. On the bottom left hand corner in the picture you can see just a glimpse of a handle on the back side of this base cabinet. Here we created a peninsula cabinet with roll out trays that can be pulled into the kitchen side or the dining side for easy access to items it holds.

Thse clients came to me for a kitchen refresh. Keeping the existing floor plan but updating as much as possible. After explaining my thoughts, they chose to go with a much larger project. The wall to the garage wash pushed bach 12" to allow for the island to happen. This almost couldn't happen as there is a support post in the garage we had to keep. I designed the last pantry area as on 10" deep, allowing us to conceal that behind the cabinets. Then, we opend up the wall to the dining room to make the rooms one large space. The wall to the family room was also openend up, leaving the half wall to allow for the kitchen eating area. They wanted to incorporate a bar area, without it feeling like a "bar" The fabulous tall custom unit houses their wine collection and then half of the dining room buffet area holds glassware and other bar items. I helped the clients with all of the design choices.We all wanted to keep the space classic, war, functional and with mixed materials. I chose to use the same countertop material for the backsplash, to keep the space feeling as large as possible.
