Here are some interior pictures of the home soon to be renovated. The image of the bathroom and den will hopefully become one large bathroom. And ideas or comments will be greatly appreciated!

Hey Emily,
ReplyDeleteI know this may sound like a strange idea but it is just curiosity haha. I was staring at the table in the middle of the kitchen and wondering how you could save space and maintain accessibility. I was just wondering if there are any islands suspended from ceilings? I know it sounds bizarre, but it could still serve the main purposes of a normal island (with minimal storage under) and the great thing would be the amounnt of space under and around the feature. I haven't heard of such a thing yet but it could be a great idea for accessibilty design. Anyone in a wheelchair could use it and not have to worry about hitting their legs on the cabinets underneath. It was just a crazy thought, let me know what you think. Good luck with your research!
Not weird, but awesome!! Great idea!
