This day...this week....this month...this year have been crazy and I have a few big projects wrapping up over the next month or so that I am really excited to share with you but before that I want to show a job I completed not too long ago.
I designed this family's basement and I will be showing it in parts becuase it was a large project but one of my favorite parts was a reading nook for their kids. We had a huge space to work with and wanted to add some extra seating for the entertainment area, extra storage for toys and of course a spot where the kids could hang out and read. At first I think they thought I was a little nuts (that the kids would read more often if they had a reading nook) but I am a big beleiver that if you have a designated space to do something and it is properly designed and of course comfortable - that you will use it more than you think!
Since we started with a blank concrete shell I don't have a before photo but here is one during the construction process - can you say "dusty!?". At this time I was trying to select the perfect fabric and Dan Savageau, the contractor on the job was wrapping up cabinetry. I enjoy being on site for projects - I think that it is amazing to see the process of how a project goes from this....
To this....
We used beautiful alder cabinetry with oil rubbed bronze accessories. The pendant lighting helps to make reading a possibility for the kids and a comfy bench helps too! We used an accent paint color between the cabinetry that coordinates with the fabric to give the space a fun bright feeling. The most rewarding part.....a few months after we completed the project I was told that the kids actually go down to read there!!! So cute!!
More next time!
