This small bathroom maximizes storage. A medicine cabinet didn't work due to the width of the vanity below and the constraints on door width with factory cabinetry. The solution was a custom mirror frame to match the cabinetry and add a wall cabinet over the toilet. Drawers in the vanity maximize easy-access storage there as well. The result is a highly functional small bathroom with more storage than one person actually needs.

This project found its inspiration in the original lines of the home. The original kitchen was small and cramped, and a secondary service staircase limited the placement of cabinets. By eliminating the staircase, and exposing some of the original brick, we were able to keep the charm of the home as well as updating to the conveniences of a modern kitchen. By reducing the amount of upper cabinets, we found an opportunity to create more of an open and light feeling in this very functional space. We were also able to keep some of the original tin ceiling by creating a coffered look
