  • house location & type>> 30-year-old ranch house located in columbia, mo.
  • goals of the homeowner >>  Enlarge the master bath and make it more functional.
  • favorite part of the project >> My favorite part of the finished project was the walk-through shower, which is now accessible from every direction. This project started as a tiny, outdated master bathroom. We combined the master bath with the unused fourth bedroom to create a new, luxurious master suite.
  • favorite item>>  My two favorite items in the new suite are the medicine chest behind the mirror and the long pullout drawer under the sink.

  • house location & type>> 1940s bungalow in university city
  • goals of the homeowner >> While the homeowner loved her 1940s bungalow, the quirky layout made modern living a challenge. For the new kitchen, the homeowner envisioned a super-pretty, fresh, clean look with a ‘beach chic’ aesthetic. She was inspired by a painting she had purchased from a local art fair, and the breezy, clear colors in the artwork became the inspiration for the color palette of the new kitchen.
  • favorite part of the project >> A table and chairs would hardly fit in the space; instead, a spacious eat-in island with beautiful danby marble comfortably seats three and provides much needed work space and additional storage.
  • favorite item>> Every inch of the 162-square-foot space was used. Six inches on both sides of the range were topped with marble and used for a pull-out spice drawer on one side and utensil storage on the other.DesMonth_Castle
