This mudroom was an extension to a modern kitchen. We brought the same tones and wood finish to this area and the punch of colors used in the kitchen. One can change their shoes and throw them in the shoe tray near by while comfortably seating in this comfy storage/bench filled with items you want out of site. The tall closets hold winter coats, winter hats, summer shoes and even sun screen. A tranquil, bright and organize mudroom with and artistic attitude! Inna Spivakova

Details: In this new cabinet, spices are stored inside the door on adjustable trays. Cabinet shelves were made slightly shallower to accommodate the spice depth.

With the bar area built out in the center, columns were added on the sides for decoration but it also created deep base cabinets to hold bigger items. Cut for glass wall cabinets show off the families nice china and the lights make the glass sparkle from the inside.

Freestanding bathtub - transitional master gray tile and glass tile porcelain tile freestanding bathtub idea in Seattle with flat-panel cabinets, gray cabinets, a one-piece toilet, white walls, an undermount sink and quartz countertops

The vanity we chose has two large drawers. Since my kids use this bathroom to brush their teeth and hair in the morning before school, I needed something more functional to keep these items than two little boxes propped on the shelf. These drawers are so big that they also hold extra toilet paper rolls and extra hand towels. And that gorgeous brass faucet is definitely a wow factor in this space.

This was a unique project for us at City Front Terrace in the harbor of Downtown San Diego. We had a blast with our clients here as they had some very unique and personal items they had collected from their travels over many years. Some furniture pieces they wanted to hold on to but were open to repurposing. We were able to find a way to combine both HIS and HER design preferences and needs into one cohesive plan that kept all of their favorite pieces and made them SHINE!

When it comes to storing bits and bobs, the more creative, the better. Small containers of varying materials and uses add character to personal spaces while creating organization. Here, a ceramic egg crate, which Chelsea found at World Market, serves as a perfect means to store earrings. Photo: Adrienne DeRosa Photography © 2014 Houzz

Kitchen - country kitchen idea in Boston

Home offices are very personal spaces. While they need to fulfill an important functional role, they are also often filled with meaningful personal items. This office is furnished beautifully with an elegant desk, holds substantial storage, with a backdrop of delicate natural textures in the rug reminiscent of a garden, crisp linen drapes on a brass french return curtain rod, and the beginnings of a gallery wall.

THEME The sheer delight of the merrygo- round — an enduring symbol of childhood — is captured in this beautiful room dedicated to the carousel. The ageless joy and beauty of a classic carousel creates a magical space where anything seems possible. FOCUS Designed for two special twins, the actual carousel in the room stands almost 14-feet tall and eight-and-a-half feet wide to hold two baby cribs. Two hand-painted carousel horses (that are also reproduced in framed photos above the changing tables) complete the authentic look. Window treatments start at the center of the carousel with fabric that arches out to each window to pull together the entire room. Custom fabrics are used throughout the space, and the entrance to the attic within the room is disguised with an oversized, vintage amusement park ticket. A television is framed on the wall with a monkey on top to ensure that even modern items have a vintage feel. STORAGE An 18-foot by 12-foot wall of letter blocks creates an abstract armoire that provides storage for clothes, toys, books and other items. The center blocks create a bench seat along the wall, while freestanding blocks within the room help add to the illusion that all of the blocks in the room are actually stacked. GROWTH The wall armoire can be easily updated to accommodate growing children by removing the letters and repainting the blocks in another style. SAFETY Everything in the room is secure, but if accidental falls or slips do occur, the floor has been custom made to be soft and safe. Twofoot square floor pads created with Medium Density Fiber board and two layers of carpet padding with fabric over top, cover the floor to create the feel of walking on pillows.
