Private Residence
Gig Harbor, WA
GOAL:
Create a cohesive and fun suite for twin 4 year old girls to enjoy now and in the future.
CHALLENGE:
The twins were almost out of their toddler beds and outgrowing their small room when their mother called. Across from the girls’ existing bedroom was another bedroom and bathroom that lacked functionality and easy access. We combined the three spaces, added French doors from the hall and divided the second bedroom into a large walk in closet and play room. To unite the spaces (and please the allergy sufferers), we tore up the carpet and laid bamboo flooring. We enlarged the bathroom to allow for a custom horizontal strand bamboo double sink vanity and moved the entry to the bathroom off the bedroom. To maximize space and storage in the bedroom, we designed custom Chippendale inspired beds with storage drawers beneath and a bookcase/reading nook with a view between the two beds.
RESULT:
The space is contemporary, colorful and earth friendly – exactly what my clients wanted. My little clients were thrilled to have input on colors and fabrics. The girls love their space now and the design allows for plenty of flexibility as they grow.
