The DMV certainly can be a fickle weather wench this time of year. One day it's in the 80's and the next day its 45 degrees with rain and clouds to boot! Living in a four season region does present many a design and organizational challenges.
"Where do these darn puffer coats go?" "Don't bring those wet wellingtons into this house!" These are a few of the complaints I get from clients who want their chaotic lives to look clean and simple. Family of seven? No problem, we've got you covered!
Built-Ins are a fabulous way to create a high end custom feature while providing much needed storage. The built-ins below are from a project I did in North West Washington D.C. The clients needed a place to put children's sports gear, seasonal attire and those bobs and bits that always seem to find there way into the entryway of homes.
Here you can see ample storage behind cabinets as well as the above open shelving with matching striped bins for the things we need day to day but don't want to see. The hooks are all lined with classic clear London Fog umbrellas creating a linear perspective that is attractive and practical all at the same time. The finishing touch was the owners incredible collection of fashion wellingtons! Needless to say this chic Washingtonian family will never be caught in the rain without the appropriate attire ;)
Burberry and Jimmy Choo and Valentino oh my!
