So many times, people only think of kitchens and baths for renovation, or maybe a new bedroom suite. Each room is important and we understand that and put care into every space we touch.
This new portico allows both visitors and owners to have an area at the front door to be out of the weather and welcomes all with the warmth of a hanging light fixture and stained cedar vaulted ceiling.
This structure has changed over the years from an open post and roof structure, to a screened porch and now is a fully conditioned part of the home, providing a mudroom entry and covered area for all to enter the home.
Located at the side entry of the home where the homeowner typically enters this mudroom space provides just enough space for shoes, jacket and accessories.
Once an open breezeway between garage and home, we transformed this space to a welcoming space with sitting area, access to the garage and kitchen and a large built-in cabinetry space with bench.
This space is accessed through a side door most commonly used by the homeowners from the detached garage and driveway area. The walls are covered in 'nickle-gap' shiplap and provides a bench, cubbies and plenty of storage for shoes and boots.
This in progress laundry includes all of the conveniences of a first floor laundry space, sink and cabinets and a small office/desk area.
