Well, this is awkward . . . . . 

. . . . . space, that is!  How do you decorate

It's hard to believe but these are actually steps down
to a basement.  What an ingenious use of space.

 Very old houses are prone to offer unusual little crannies that are interesting but are also a challenge to decorate.

Don't hesitate to dress up the stair landing.

The Inspired Room
Sloped ceilings definitely present a unique challenge when it comes to decorating.  These homeowners chose to panel their ceiling which added a cozy element to the room.

Custom cabinets beneath a sloped ceiling makes
use of what could have been an unusable area.

A small kitchen needed extra room for the refrigerator.  The solution?  The closet pantry doors were removed, a cabinet and counter area were added, the refrigerator was moved into the closet and shelves were added.  Genius!


Even the tiniest of spaces can often
