Recently I had the pleasure of working with the very talented designer, Carolee Dennis, on a beautiful zen-like contemporary bathroom.  

Carolee and the homeowners were especially conscientious about specifying environmentally responsible materials.  Click on links below:

• Cabinet Finish: Linseed & Wax - Osmo Polyx
• Light-Weight Concrete Countertops - made in Bend

Bamboo Floors

PERFECT FIT

SMALL DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ORDINARY

FEATURING: Original fir floors, white cabinets, honed black granite countertops, decorative glass mosaic, farm sink, mahogany lighted buffet.

Small kitchen in Portland bungalow

This compact kitchen packs everything you need in a small footprint and still manages to have room for an eating area and a serving buffet.

Beautiful glass mosaic focal point.

Microwave oven, toaster, coffee maker all tuck behind the refrigerator out of the direct line of sight in the kitchen.

Farm-style sink adds vintage detail.

Even a small kitchen can have a lovely place to drink coffee and peruse the newspaper, or sip on a glass of wine by the garden.

The mahogany lighted hutch fits perfectly with the bungalow style and adds a "wow" factor when entering the kitchen.

The sight line from the living room.

Lazy-Susan Corner Cabinet - a must for a small kitchen to squeeze as much storage as possible.
