THE BEFORE
Our clients’ family of four loved their 1500-sq ft Spanish-Revival home, built in 1933 in the Alamo Placita neighborhood in Denver. The apartment-sized kitchen (which was a combination of original cabinets and Ikea stand-ins) and lack of a mudroom meant they were seriously considering moving to a larger house. We were hired to create a floor plan that maximized storage, increased flow, and accommodated their growing family.
Working with Annabode was a fantastic experience, start to finish. Their design and execution process is rooted in clear communication, reliability, and truly listening to their clients’ priorities. Highly, highly recommend them!
THE AFTER
In this project, every inch was precious. Our team maintained the original 3” interior wall thickness that required creative plumbing, greatly expanded the kitchen into a galley, added a built-in dining area, and divided the existing living room in two to create a separate mudroom entrance.
Creative details in the kitchen like mesh doors, wood knobs, and peek-a-boo cut outs were researched to maintain authenticity to the 1930s. Both creatives, our clients wanted their personalities to shine through which we captured the bold uses of color and pattern that evoked their childhood.
