Laundry rooms can be both functional and beautiful.  Does a lovely laundry room get the clothes washed and folded faster?  You will never know unless you let us help you design one into your home!  This laundry room features marble tops from the remnant yard to save money.  Building in the washer and dryer allows for a counter to be installed over the top to fold clothes.  There is open space below the folding top on the opposite wall to hold the laundry baskets.  The ironing board is built into the pantry cabinets that also hold the family linens.

This dining room addition is directly off this homes newly renovated kitchen.  Its charm is in the details.  The coffered ceiling makes the small room feel much larger.  The built-in cherry cabinets on either side of the opening to the powder room can be used as a bar or butlers pantry.  The leaded glass in the doors and simplicity in the backsplash make these spaces feel like built-in furniture.   The large drawers offer plenty of storage so that the only furniture taking up floor space is the table.  The giant windows make you feel almost like you are dining outside.  The lighting is all on dimmers to control the mood.

The lights will enhance the look but also help with the adaptability and competency of the pantry.
