Extending the home’s lower level made room for Abbie’s spacious new home office. Clean, simple finishes provide a clear and composed space from which to work and create.

Robertson--with the help of developers Katie Nichols and John Walker, who were heavily involved in the design process--finished the guest bathroom with Modwalls tiles and a sink they found on eBay. They used a piece of marine plywood, leftover from building the front-porch steps, to create a counter on which the sink could sit--and where the family can rest their toothbrushes. To the right of the sink is a Toto dual-flush toilet, which is great for conserving water but has proven problematic for toilet training, as American potty seats aren't designed to fit these Japanese basins.

Mmm... the final results, ready for enjoying. Photo courtesy amyskitchentable.com.
