The folding table was built and stained to the client's choice of color, Mahogany and we incorporated new open shelves in the same style that will feature their barware over the to-be-installed kegerator.

Laundry Room Update

Koskovich Design Group LLC

This crowded laundry room was transformed into a colorful work space with custom storage units and a efficient laundry sink area.

The white storage cabinet provided different sized spaces for utility storage and also had a custom desk for paperwork. The client did some of the work to save on the budget and they purchased new washer/dryer units for energy efficient washing.
