Mock added that a few discreet pocket doors and a massive sliding barn door to the master bath also give a nod to the past, as well as the stained wood moldings and casings used around all the main floor doorways. Photo by Matt Kocourek http://www.mattkocourek.com/

The home’s layout defies current trends of large and open, and instead incorporates more intimately divided rooms that are blissfully cozy and reminiscent of homes down memory lane. Photo by Matt Kocourek http://www.mattkocourek.com/

As you enter the room from the main hall, one encounters the dining area first. By day it's a pop up office for her with well hidden printer and work papers. By evening its back to dining and entertaining.

The finished result was custom shelves and storage both exposed and hidden. There is a large picture window centered on this wall. I came up with creating custom bookshelves with storage to bookend both sides. And under the window, filled the space with a deep bench with storage. I measured yoga mats and other workout gear to assure it would fit perfectly when not in use. The window treatments are also new with the wooden shutters to adjust the light during high sun hours. Also good solve to the 2 cats who just love to shread a nice curtain or two.

Now we have a warm, highly-functional living room/dining room. Instead of focusing on getting new furniture, the clients needed storage and a sense of cohesive style. After meeting them and learning how they used the room, this came out to be the perfect solution. Besides the custom built-ins and storage, using the layout of the room to create separate zones in one room. Also creating a focal to the the fireplace and tv. Fun tip: Clients did NOT want to fix the fireplace to work so I suggested flicking battery operated candles with a timer. They loved it! And set the remote to dusk, so everyday, the candles turn on and are ready for your evening, then shut off by bedtime. What a great no fuss ambience way to look at the details.

The home’s reverse story-and-a-half layout features the main bedrooms and living areas upstairs and a rec room, two bedrooms and a full bath on the lower level. When all was said and done, the 3,600-square-foot home showcased a clever mix of Mid-Century originality and Craftsman character paired with modern practicality and retro pizzazz.

Since this photo, we did add a navy window seat with self piping to make sitting along the window more inviting.

Created one wall with a rich blue accent to draw the eye across the room. The fireplace was given a makeover with fresh white paint, a new screen and instead of repairing the fireplace, they loved the money saver of battery-operated candles. Set your candles to dusk and let them for the next 4- 8 hours. No fuss and instant ambience!
