Office REnovation and REdesign--Design Dilemma!!

Client background:  After living in an old Webster home for 13+ years, it took my clients, Liz and Dave Austin,  almost 2 months to purge and organize their house before placing it on the market.  Not wanting to make the same mistakes with clutter and disorganization in their next old Webster house, they contacted me for help.

Formal Living Room--leading into Dave's office

Project 1 (out of 422)-- Dave’s office:  
The Austins want to turn an old sleeping porch/ sun room off the formal living room area into Dave’s office.  

Design dilemma: The small room is u-shaped with a fire place, former radiator case and long windows on three sides.  Traditional office furniture will not work.  Dave would like a work space that is organized and as clutter free as possible since the office can be seen from the formal living room via glass French doors.

Pros of this space:  bookcases, fireplace, gorgeous wood floors, french doors, and tons of natural light
Cons of this space:  (ironically) all of the PROS mentioned above, long and narrow, paneling, radiator case is empty, and shiny insulation on the backside of the end windows...really?!?





This office REnovation and REdesign is going to be interesting...can't wait for you to see what this wonky and wonderful space turns out to be!!!

Stay tuned.
