Interior Design + Project Management

The design renderings shown represent approved design direction and implementation planning.
Kitchen & Mudroom
The kitchen was redesigned to make better use of its narrow footprint while respecting the proportions and character of the historic home. Shaker cabinetry, warm metallic accents, sage-toned walls and layered lighting establish a fresh, cohesive palette, while carefully planned storage and appliance placement keep the room functional and visually balanced.

Working Wall Elevation

Cabinet, appliance and lighting placement coordinated around the existing soffit and available wall length.

Design Planning

Thoughtful planning within an existing footprint.

The kitchen layout was developed around the home's existing architecture, including the soffit, openings and limited wall depth. Detailed elevations helped coordinate cabinetry, appliances, lighting and clearances before construction, allowing both long walls to work harder without compromising circulation through the room.

CONCEPT SKETCH

Working Wall Elevation

Balancing function, storage and visual rhythm

The kitchen’s primary work zone was reorganized to create a more functional, visually balanced run while working within the existing footprint.

A centered sink anchors the elevation, with dedicated prep, cleanup and cooking zones arranged around it. Full-height backsplash, warm metal accents and layered lighting bring character to the working wall, while the cabinetry provides the storage and function required for everyday use.

DESIGN INTENT: Create a hardworking kitchen wall that feels composed, open and intentional rather than visually crowded.

Mudroom

Creating function within a narrow transition space.

Beyond the kitchen, the mudroom transforms a narrow passage into a functional transition between the house and rear yard. The kitchen's green palette continues into the space, paired with warm wood and crisp light trim for visual continuity.

Refrigerator + Storage Wall

Making storage part of the architecture

The refrigerator wall was designed as a unified composition rather than a collection of freestanding elements. A 18-inch pantry and 18-inch utility/broom cabinet frame the refrigerator, with additional cabinetry above, maximizing vertical storage while maintaining the passage between the dining room and kitchen.

THE HISTORIC SHAW HOUSE

Converted Bedroom + Door Solution

A former rear room was reimagined as a private first-floor bedroom while preserving the home's original arched connection to the dining room. The design introduces a concealed-track, center-meeting door system and dedicated clothing storage, giving the compact room the privacy and function needed for its new purpose without sacrificing its architectural character.

PRIVACY DOOR TRANSFORMATION

Preserving the original arch while creating true privacy.

The wide, tall arched opening presented the central challenge of the conversion. Rather than closing in the opening or introducing conventional swinging doors, two tall sliding doors were designed to meet at the center and travel along the bedroom side of the wall.

A concealed track keeps the hardware visually quiet, while recessed pulls and a flush privacy lock allow the doors to operate without interfering with their movement. Open, the original arch remains fully expressed; closed, the room becomes a private, lockable sleeping space.

CLOSED VIEW — Bedroom Side

Center-meeting doors create a clean, private enclosure without consuming usable floor space.

CLOSED VIEW — Dining Room Side

The original arch remains the defining architectural feature when the bedroom is closed.

DESIGN PLANNING

Coordinating privacy, door travel and usable floor space.

Because the sliding doors travel along the bedroom wall, their placement had to be coordinated with existing baseboards, ventilation and the room's new storage. Door dimensions, concealed hardware, recessed pulls and the center privacy lock were considered together so the system could operate cleanly while preserving as much usable floor area as possible.

The resulting solution turns an architectural challenge into a defining feature of the room rather than concealing or removing the home's original character.

SECOND-FLOOR BATH + DOOR COORDINATION

Warm character within a compact footprint.

The second-floor bath was developed as a warm, functional retreat within the home's existing footprint. Soft sage walls, warm wood-look flooring and creamy trim establish the foundation, while black fixtures and green glass lighting introduce contrast and definition.

Beyond the finishes, careful attention was given to circulation and privacy. A concealed-track sliding door allows the bathroom to function comfortably without introducing a traditional door swing into the second-floor

BATHROOM DESIGN

Warm character within a compact footprint.

The existing room called for a design that felt considered without becoming visually heavy. A muted sage palette carries across the walls and vanity, while Swiss Coffee trim and a warm hickory-toned floor keep the space light and grounded.

Black plumbing fixtures, hardware and the round medicine cabinet provide definition. Green glass vanity lighting and antique gold-bronze accents add another layer of warmth, giving the room character without competing with its modest scale.

CONCEALED DOOR SOLUTION

Preserving circulation without sacrificing privacy.

A conventional swing door would have consumed valuable circulation space at the bathroom and hallway connection. Instead, a wall-mounted sliding door with concealed hardware was specified on the hall side, allowing the door to travel along the wall rather than into either space.

The concealed track keeps the installation visually quiet, while dedicated privacy hardware provides locking from inside the bathroom and emergency access from the hall. Finished in Swiss Coffee on the hall-facing side, the door coordinates with the other second-floor doors rather than becoming a competing feature.

DOOR + PRIVACY PLANNING 

Door travel, concealed hardware and privacy were coordinated to preserve circulation within the compact second-floor hallway.
