Project# 2: Powder Room Addition Challenge: After purchasing the house in 2013, the homeowners decided to add amuch needed powder room to their main floor. After consulting with an architect, theydecided to repurpose a former side entrance to the house, which had beenconverted into a closet beneath the first floor staircase by the previous owner.Most importantly, the homeowner’s primary goal was to design the bathroom tolook as though it was original. Solution:The homeowner identified a local artisan to create a custom-paneled door tomatch the existing wood paneling; they then converted the closet into a powderroom by replacing the existing exterior door with a window, adding fixtures, periodlighting, and unique design accents.
