Runa Novack -Everybody wants a TV in the bedroom, but it’s always an eye sore unless you have a huge armoire to hide it. Top 10 designer Runa Novak has come up with an innovative solution to deal with this problem. She designs and builds her own TV lifts to fit the end of the bed, choosing a finish that will best compliment the room. When not in use, the t.v simply drops down into the cabinet, out of sight. In this example Runa chose a zebra wood finish. In fact she usually recommends going with an exotic or other dramatic wood for the end of the bed so that it can be used as an accent. She also likes to leave some room on each side of the opening for the TV so the client can place lamps or other accessories.

The laundry room in a typical London apartment may not be very spacious, but it is an essential feature that adds convenience to residents' lives. It is usually tucked away in a small corner of the apartment, often near the kitchen or bathroom. The laundry room is where residents can find a washer and dryer, which is particularly useful in a city where space is at a premium, and not everyone has the luxury of having their own washing machine. The laundry room is also where residents can store laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and other cleaning supplies. Despite its small size, the laundry room is an essential space that serves a vital purpose for residents, allowing them to keep their clothes clean without having to leave the comfort of their own apartment.

The bar is composed of stainless base cabinets and custom scaled iron shelving for liquor and glassware. The iron piece above the bar boasts form and function, providing glass storage and lighting. The riveted stainless steel bar front and stainless steel foot rail accent the space with a nod to aviation (the owner is a pilot) in this Aspen mountain home.

I created these large metal and glass barn doors to give optional privacy between a large kitchen and a living room in a custom home in San Diego. This sleek modern style of glass and metal work is a departure from my usual nature and fine art based work. The resulting look is a combination of Japanese screen panels with mid century modern design into a sleek, functional and stylish finished product. The glass is custom colored to match the amazing matching colored Florentine finish on the walls throughout the home. These large door panels telescope back to leave the entire room open or closed for entertaining while the kitchen is preparing food for the guests while they are dining. Contact me here if you would like something similar for your home or business.
