One Piece...Two Uses!

Not everyone lives a large and in-charge house and has abundant storage areas. Like me, and most of the city dwellers I know, we have limited space to keep the things we love, need and use throughout our everyday lives. I am always looking for multifunctional pieces of furniture to use in not only my own home but the homes of my clients as well. For those of you who need a little insight into the wonderful world of multi-use furniture....here you go! Enjoy!

 It's a shelf....not it's a desk.... it's BOTH! This is perfect for a laptop user that doesn't really need a full blown desk.  Taking up less floor space than a traditional desk and looks pretty cool too!

 Coffee Table with built in floor cushions. Brilliant! Could also store items in the middle part.

 Sit. Store. Drink Wine. What a great idea for those who love wine but don't really have a giant collection or a wine cellar. And sitting in this chair means you don't even have to leave you seat to fill your glass up!

Bookshelf turned eating area!! Store anything you want in the cubbies and when you need a place to eat just pull out a chair! This is great for any small space!

Light up the Holidays!

The days might be shorter, and the nights might be longer, but the warmth of the holiday season gives us the opportunity to light up the chilly winter nights! Here are some joyful displays of holiday merriment that are sure to spark your imagination and inspire your own light show. Enjoy!

Turn of the fountain and turn on the lights! This classy and modern display uses LED lights which use far less energy than traditional lights. I absolutely love the beautiful blue glow!

This Madrid street scene is sure to set your heart aglow with all the wonderment of the season. This arrangement on Calle Serrano was designed by architect Teresa Sapey to bring more excitement for the holidays in this busy shopping street.

 

The leaves may have fallen from the trees, but this gives the perfect opportunity to light them with new colors! Create your own festive forest with colored lights around your trees.

  Lights aren't just for your land! I love the outlined lily pads!

It's a jungle out there! This fun and lively light display shows a myriad of holiday themes: all in one place! The lights 'striping' the trees is so fun!

Need More Space? Finish Out your Attic!

Most houses have an attic. Some attics are big enough to make it usable square footage and add a room or a rent-able apartment. These are some great ideas for finishing out your attic and gaining more space in your existing home. Enjoy!

Make a private office, somewhere you can concentrate and ideas can come to life.

 How about an extra living space? Or a place for your teenagers to hangout with their friends and not disturb the parents.

 An extra bedroom comes in handy for the holidays or a for a growing family. 

 Make a profit on your extra square footage! If your neighborhood allows you to have a multi-family home then add an attic apartment! 

This attic apartment feels less like an apartment and more like a loft! It is an open concept and lets you be imaginative with how to layout your space.
