THEME Every element of this room evokes images from the Enchanted Forest. Tiny lights twinkle like fireflies; curtains swing from real tree limbs and sticker stones lay a pathway to the bed. Ceramic mushrooms and birdhouses are scattered throughout the room, creating perfect hiding spots for fairies, pixies and other magical friends. The dominant color of both bedroom and bathroom — a soft, feminine pink — creates a soothing, yet wondrous atmosphere. In the corner sits a large tree with a child-size door at the base, promising a child-size adventure on the other side. FOCUS Illuminated by two beautiful flower-shaped lamps, the six-footdiameter circular bed becomes the centerpiece of the room. Imitation bark on the bed’s exterior augments the room’s theme and makes it easy for a child to believe they have stepped out of the suburbs and into the forest. Three lily pads extending from tree bark serve as both steps to the bed and stools to sit on. Ready-made for princess parties and sleepovers, the bed easily accommodates two to three small children or an adult. Twelvefoot ceilings enhance the sense of openness, while soft lighting and comfy pillows make this a cozy reading and resting spot. STORAGE The shelves on the rear of the bed and the two compartments in the tree — one covered by a doubledoor, the other by a miniature door — supplement the storage capacity of the room’s giant closet without interrupting the theme. GROWTH The bed meets standard specifications for a baby crib, and can accommodate both children and adults. The railing is easily removed when baby girl becomes a “big girl,” and eventually, a teenager. SAFETY Rounded edges on all of the room’s furnishings help prevent nasty bumps, and lamps are positioned well out-of-reach of small children. The mattress is designed to fit snugly to meet current crib safety standards, while a 26-inch railing allows this bed to act as a safe, comfortable and fun play area.

In the basement family room, we provided supplemental furniture, accessories and art to refine the space. The sofa, coffee table and end table are the homeowners. As is the buffet

This workroom or atelier for a professional artist was carved from the homeowner's attic, making it a traditional artist's garrett. The custom storage unit fits nicely under the angled ceilings, and includes plenty of vertical storage for canvases, shelving for art books and sketch pads, drawers to store smaller items,as well as a long countertop to arrange brushes. A flood of even light flows into the space during the day from the windows. The natural light is supplemented by track lighting and LED can lights - which are very important during the long, dark Chicago winters. Photo by Cathy Rabeler

The use of lighter, livelier materials and better-placed windows vastly improved the natural daylight. Horizontal mullions in charcoal-painted sashes create a contemporary feel with design rigor. Recessed lighting supplements ambient light after sundown without obstructing the simplicity of the design.

Mitsubishi Minisplit Installed in Residence for additional cooling. The Minisplit is a very popular supplemental cooling option to prevent from adding ductwork and having to do alot of demo to the residence.

The solution to a windowless room was to install a skylight that greets sunrise daily. A heated floor provides year-round comfort. To supplement the variance in natural light, all lighting is dimmable and includes LED strips under the cabinets and in the tub niche.

ADU kitchens are difficult to plan as you have to pack so much into such a tight space. We were able to accomplish a lot with this layout. We love the mini Bosch dishwashers and the Sharp Convection M/W Oven combo. It serves as the primary oven in this case whereas generally we use it as a supplemental oven if need be where we have a single 36" range. The drop-in electric cooktop has a sleek/flat design with minimal footprint in the kitchen and it's small hood conceals easily when not in use. We incorporated the open floating shelves to the right of the window not only to promote light in the space but to add a decorative element as well. Anna Campbell Photography
