A drawer for dog food and treats eliminates the need for a large space to hold unwieldy bags. The bowls in an elevated stand bring dinner to Max's level.

for the mud room perhaps.

My dog would be all up in that cabinet! LOL

Upholstered armchairs surrounding a rich wood table with wood inlays set an elegant tone in the dining room. The designer added informal coastal flair by lining the display shelves with beaded board.

i don't care for any of the furniture, colors, or decor here. Not for me, not for my dining room. BUT, this room is almost set-up exactly like mine. With the windows and doorway, and i love the built-in shelves for dishes.

i love this idea, but i'm curious how deep these drawers are!?

That is a really cool idea. If I had to guess, that's one of those mini ironing boards. They aren't that big - maybe 2 feet long?

Before we moved to UT, the hubby and I painted our bedroom yellow. It was like sunshine! It was difficult to feel gloomy in the morning. :)

That's why I love yellow so much. It just makes me smile. : )

Bunk beds make good use of a smaller bedroom. Having the beds custom-crafted allowed the designer to put desks on one side of the partition. All of the beds are color-coordinated to give the room a cohesive look.
