Before & After
DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
KITCHENETTE? MORE LIKE KITCHEN-EXTRA
Ricky got a kick out of seeing these cabinet doors open out and then slide in to the housing for a space-saving display, but that’s just one of the many cool features this kitchenette brings to the redesigned garage. A mini-fridge, sink and microwave and more all reside in this compact space, giving Ricky a full assortment of options when he’s working late and needs to grab something quick.
GRILL AND CHILL
Ricky’s backyard was a total DIY job, and it showed: he’s a busy guy with a family, and he hadn’t been able to add the finishing touches to make it functional for everyone. We started fresh and made sure he could enjoy the space with an outdoor grill and refrigerator, so he could stay out in the beautiful Southern California weather for every dinner, from start to finish.
SHOWERED WITH LOVE
The bathroom transformation really makes the place function as a stand-alone unit, with a brass shower and fixtures that made Ricky jealous, compared to what was in the house! A pocket door neatly tucks in the doorframe, and the continued metallics and wood accents prefectly flow from the rest of the space.
