The 'craft room' is in what was once a maid's room. In a roughly 10' by 7' room, the built-in cabinets had to accommodate a laundry room, a tv room, a homework room, and a home office.

The desk top is solid teak with a hinged top for laptop storage. The floor is waxed cork.

Above the desk the wall is cork- which provides a temporary family art gallery- and the cabinets are mahogany and plastic laminate. The cabinets are push release with a curved edge pull. The materials, curves, and angles are meant to integrate well with the Danish modern side tables and chairs.

On the opposite wall, a new solid walnut door matches other new doors installed throughout the apartment. The curves of the frame were based on chair legs from the dining room. Above the couch is storage for movies and books, and an adjustable light. A matching custom-designed chandelier in the dining room can be seen through the door.

In the Entry hall, an existing closet was demolished to make an entry niche, with a bench with storage below, coat hooks, a coat closet, a 'locker' and open cubbies. Bookshelves in the entry were extended to run around the top of the niche. New mahogany drawers with an integral finger pull hold CD's.

The master bathroom was completely demolished and reconfigured. The walls and floor are glass tiles, with built-in niches for toiletries. The shower is glass and the counter and sink are Corian.

The bedroom for their 6 year old was designed to be reconfigured from a playroom to a study as he grew up. The cabinets are mahogany, pear, and olive wood with cork inset into the corner, and behind the built-in bed. The bed also has a trundle bed beneath it.
