Organizing spaces on the smaller side can seem daunting. That was how the homeowners, a married couple, of this Town and Country home felt when they first purchased their small house in 2016. “We knew it would be a lot of work,” says the wife. “There was no pantry, the laundry room was small and there wasn’t any storage in the kitchen. We loved the property and footprint of the house, but we knew we’d need some help.”

A painting of an octopus twists its way up a wall and across a soffit in the kitchen of a Central West End home, reflecting the homeowners’ unique design style.

    The homeowners asked local artist Phil Jarvis to create the sea creature. “I thought it would be interesting to put some kind of mural there,” the homeowner says. “The reason we chose an octopus was because I wanted it to have movement, and also wanted it to be kind of unexpected.”

I believe built-in wardrobes are here to stay! I love designing a space that not only meets my clients' specific storage needs, it adds style. I can define the aesthetic in a room with the door style, finish and hardware. The built-in wardrobes also guarantee that there is no wasted space. Karen Korn, Karen Korn Interiors
