Kitchen/dining room combo - traditional medium tone wood floor and brown floor kitchen/dining room combo idea in Boston with white walls

In this formerly unfinished room above a garage, we were tasked with creating the ultimate kids’ space that could easily be used for adult guests as well. Our space was limited, but our client’s imagination wasn’t! Bold, fun, summertime colors, layers of pattern, and a strong emphasis on architectural details make for great vignettes at every turn. With many collaborations and revisions, we created a space that sleeps 8, offers a game/project table, a cozy reading space, and a full bathroom. The game table and banquette, bathroom vanity, locker wall, and unique bunks were custom designed by Bayberry Cottage and all allow for tons of clever storage spaces. This is a space created for loved ones and a lifetime of memories of a fabulous lakefront vacation home!

In this formal dining room we wanted to dress up the windows. We chose sheer panels to provide some privacy and light diffusion and topped them with a more formal valance lined with decorative trim. This provides a casual yet elegant feel that coordinates well with the more traditional furniture and Oriental rug, working all together for an overall transitional style. This picture show how minimal the designer screen shade is when rolled completely up into the head rail.

Here you can see that when the Designer Screen Shades are raised completely they are concealed under the custom fabric valances and you have a clear view to the exterior.

In this office we put decorative draperies to provide softness and privacy for this space. Using two different colors provides interest while keeping it simple and clean.
