Expand Your Space with Cabinetry + Armoires

Not Enough Space?

Vintage, Traditional  or modern, cabinetry, hutches, armoires, and built-ins can be space-saving design statements in  any room in the house : the living room, guest room, study, kitchen (it can BE a kitchen) and bedroom. Check out  these beautiful solutions!

Rustic, retrofit with plumbing and a sink, a nice

 vintage mirror, this armoire is a Mini-Pub!

This built-in is a pantry with great style:

In the kitchen, hiding in plain sight, is the compact study!

A kitchen!!!  Great for an in-law suite.  What a cool

 discovery to make for a guest in a guest room at your house.

This is sort of a dresser/armoire : perfect for all of the lotions, 

potions, powders and gels that we girls use to enhance our loveliness~

        In a studio apartment, this cabinet unit separates the kitchen/eating area from the living room area. Meanwhile, it houses books, a desk, 

....and then it opens up and acts as a room divider. And out unfolds...

a Murphy bed...becoming this: a modern, cozy bedroom

Clever space-saving, stylish design, and, if you need to,  a great way to hide a mess!

I think I will try something like this in our "in-law" suite.
Have a great day!

Clever Use of Space in Design

A gloomy time of year is made brighter when hatching new ideas.  So start hatching!

 Below are several space-saving, function-enhancing, good-looking rooms. They'll make you say, What a great idea!"  They are all DO-able.

These rooms function very well, while being such inviting, comfortable living spaces. I am thinking about that blank, boring wall in my daughter's bedroom...maybe some shelves and/or cabinetry on each end, bed in the middle, curtains around the bed...Join me --  check out these ideas!

Fold-up Kitchen - Great for guest suite!

What a Great way to upgrade an old cabinet; upholstered cabinet!

A cute hideaway with books and....

A thrilling ride from the 2ND FLOOR down to......

the BASEMENT!

Energize in the RED Shower!  An original, simple concept.

Lots of  Practical drying racks in a laundry room with Style.

Making an alcove for beds increases storage and space

Attic Closet ( I think I would make that mirror full-length and tri-fold...)

For the organized clothes horse, creating that closet would be a great gift! 

So not only are these ideas clever, but they can also be done on a limited budget. 

And worth every penny.

Have a great day! 

Start making plans for Spring!
