Home office - eclectic home office idea in Columbus

This was a quick facelift for the kitchen with removing a load-bearing wall between the living/dining room and turning a compact U-shaped kitchen into and open and full of light. The total cost was only $47,000 and a two week turn around!!!

Laundry may be a chore we all face, but it doesn't have to feel like one. Clean and serene is the theme for this laundry center. Located in a busy part of the house next to the back door and combined with coat and shoe storage into a mud room, it still offers a sense of peace and calm by providing a place for everything and preventing chaos from taking over. It's easier to keep the room looking tidy when you have a good organizational system like this one. Shelves and cabinets above the side-by-side front loading washer and dryer provide convenient storage for detergent, dryer sheets, fabric softener and other laundry aids. A shelf with a basket is a great place to temporarily store all the little items that were left in pockets and shouldn't go in the wash. The small hanging rod in the corner takes care of the delicate drip dry items that can't go in the dryer, while the small sink with storage cabinets is large enough for hand wash and things you want to quickly rinse out like swim suits. It's also a great place to stop and wash dirty hands before continuing into the rest of the house. A garbage can is hidden in the cabinet beneath the sink. The lower shelves with baskets next to the sink can store either folded clothing that has yet to be put away, or a basket or dirty laundry waiting to go into the wash. The oil rubbed bronze finish on the cabinet handles and faucet ties in with blue, beige, dark brown and white color scheme present throughout the first floor of the home and is a strong accent against the white. It also ties in perfectly with the dark wood look ceramic tiles on the floor. Designer - Gerry Ayala Photo - Cathy Rabeler

This is a clean entry accent that pops from the street. A big gray planter bowl sits on a brick pedestal with a smooth cap. The mix includes purple and white blooms, plus dark leafy plants for contrast. It’s an easy way to add color without loading up the whole bed. Great for quick seasonal swaps.

Country white two-story mixed siding house exterior idea with a hip roof and a mixed material roof

The layout of this early 90’s home was adequate for the husband when he was just living there. However, now the family of three and their loving cat live there together; the space quickly became confined and inadequate. The Clients contacted us to discuss what their options may be to help the home feel more spacious. After a few weeks of design and engineering, we went to work on opening up the first floor to increase the size of the rooms while creating continuity with the adjoining rooms. A once tired and confined layout became a spacious, comfortable, & aesthetically pleasing space to live and entertain.

A custom storage wall with a variety of storage accessories, including surfboard racks and wire baskets for miscellaneous household goods. Wall storage creates vertical storage, minimizes the clutter and provides an attractive solution for storing bulky sports equipment.

We made sure we made the homeowners lives easier by putting the trash on the right of the sink and the dishwasher on the left. This way, the homeowners can quickly scrap, rinse, and load the dishes into the dishwasher.
