PROBLEMS:

• Client discovered a passion for watercolor painting. Her small house had no place for it.
• Floor plan was chopped into cramped subdivisions.
• Living Room felt separate from the rest of the house and was rarely used.
• Tiny eating space at end of Kitchen was barely useable.

SOLUTIONS:

• Art Studio was added half a story up, above existing garage.
• Dividing walls and coat closet at entry and Dining Room were removed, allowing one to see the whole space.
• Opening to Living Room was widened, connecting it visually to the main room.
• Consistent new wood flooring helps the spaces flow together.
