AFTER - the raised island. As I mentioned, it's 6" higher than the rest of the kitchen so the dogs can't counter surf! On the left, we tied in the radiator and the small desk with matching wood and granite.

It's all about the details --- Forget plain-old artwork or dated faux painting – consider creating a one-of-a-kind bed wall like this! Utilizing a very well thought out, and dimensioned pattern, (not to mention, a very skilled trim carpenter), this wall was created with applied trim moulding, installed to our perfectly geometric pattern, and then painted the same color as the wall behind it.

Here is one of the two doors to the built-in dog kennel area. The dogs love this space, with its heated floors and inset drain, not to mention the views to the front door (from this side) and to the kitchen (from the other side). The owners rarely, if ever, close the kennel doors! Architectural design by Board & Vellum. Photo by John G. Wilbanks.
