The most important component of this project was rearranging things to make the most of various spaces in a small house. There had been several strange additions over the years that made for a lot of wasted space.
Looking east in this spacious new kitchen with fir cabinets, vaulted ceiling, corner windows, LED lights,
We added about 65 SF and way more storage. The old kitchen was actually a hallway with constant traffic flow through the work area. Now traffic stays away from the main work area.
Kitchen before addition and remodel
1) New closets in the master bedroom 2) More efficient laundry room by moving one door and adding shelves and counter 3) Water heater moved to exterior and utility room converted to pantry 4) Kitchen expanded to keep the traffic out of the work area 5) Easy attic storage created
Nice Big Pantry
Vaulted ceiling creates room for a large pendant light
We also added an attic access stair for even more storage!

There is a spot for everything in this mudroom – Shoe cubbies below, ample storage for scarves, dog leashes, hats, and bags under the bench seats (solid ash), and lots of pegs on the wall.

I am always happy to see my clients enjoying their houses that I helped create. I forgot to take my own pics, so thanks to Vikki Fennell for this one.

Luc, Karl, & Seamus were busy installing windows today. I noticed that the diningroom picture window has a particularly nice view of a distant hill covered in houses, framed by simple buildings in the foreground

Figured Ash with mortised pulls and Richlite counters
I found this photo on the cabinetmaker’s website. It shows off their figured ash cabinets, and also the shimmery tile design by the client and myself.

I am excited to see this backyard studio take shape. Happy to have a skillful framer and a pile of kiln dried FSC certified lumber. I stopped by just in time to help lift that big beam into place. A challenging job for a solo framer.
