The design challenge was clear to me as I pulled into the driveway of my clients seaside home.

The appliance wish list was long, double ovens, microwave, a low profile hood, 36” cooktop and a built in refrigerator. The kitchen had to have continuos counters and frame out the views to the outside pond, teahouse and extensive gardens. A tall order....

Here we transformed a guest bedroom into a home office. By adding two sets of double doors we hid the washer, dryer & all miscellaneous office equipment. Using the clients' existing artwork as a basis for our palette, we incorporated color into the room by painting the doors this lush green. Reupholstered chairs, sheer curtains and new lighting rounded out the now simplified space creating a calming place to work from home. Holland Photography - Cory Holland - HollandPhotography.biz
