Shelves

The office on the second level is outfitted with a built-in desk and bookcase that spans the length of the walls.

The leaf has held up for at least six months, says Shkurti, and the only thing that's really changed the surface is some splatter from water (it is a bathroom, after all), creating an effect similar to an antique mirror.

The fireplace is one of the few, if not the only, original features preserved in the renovation. Gallacher painted it a brick red that complements the kitchen’s blue and yellow color palette.

A closet features sleek built-in storage.

Lofted storage makes the most of this small, 108-square-foot space.

In addition to remodeling the space, the studio has also created a table for the dining room.

Rectangular blue and white tiles are positioned at an angle in the loft's bathroom, and continue onto the floor and into the hallway, adding a vibrant, playful touch.

This wooden staircase doubles as kitchen shelving in the English designer's home. Tyler hired David Restorick, a furniture maker and friend, to build a staircase that doubles as display space for Tyler's vast collection of colorful cookware.

The Kinuta N–SS01 bookshelf is inspired by umbrella and shoe racks near the entrances of Japanese temples and Shrines.

With a love of plants, Tina made greenery a focal point. She created wall to display her plant clippings. The thoughtful use of space allows her to keep plants without overwhelming the space. It’s also a work of art.

As part of the built-in cabinetry beneath the stairs, Wilson included a pull-out bed that can be used by overnight guests.

This reconfigured Craftsman home in Portland, Oregon, designed by Beebe Skidmore Architects, includes a highly functional mudroom. The exterior siding and windows were kept in place to reference the house’s previous incarnation. Built-in cabinetry with exposed plywood edges and laminate fronts are now up to the task of handling the family’s gear. The mudroom has sight lines to the family nook at the back corner.

SHED embraced the angled corners with custom cabinetry. According to Hale, the inspiration images that the couple chose were “less American Midwest farmhouse, and more contemporary Scandinavian farmhouse,” which inspired the design team to consult Scandinavian farm layouts for the master plan.

The home is decorated with a vareity of mementoes, incuding menus from beloved restaruatnts to Japanese artwork.
