Angela:  When we first met, you had many areas in your home you needed to maximize storage in.  What was the first priority for you?

Client:  My 15-year-old son's bedroom.  It was a nightmare!  Clothes everywhere, computer and video games scattered about...  We couldn't even walk through there!

Angela:  What did you want to achieve in that space?

Client:  I wanted to have a place to put all his clothes away, a place for his TV and, if possible, a small desk for him.  Maybe then I wouldn't have to nag him to do his homework!  I also wanted it to look cool and fun, he is a teenager, after all.

Angela:  I remember you really wanted to reserve a space for him to store some collector trucks, as well.

Client:  Oh yes, his grandparents have been giving them to him since he was very young, but I was doubtful we could incorporate the trucks and all my other requests into such a small space.

Angela:  Because of those space restrictions, we wanted to be creative in our spatial planning so that you wouldn't have to compromise.  We designed a tall wardrobe cabinet for all his hanging needs with a hidden storage shelf behind it for the trucks; a dresser with space for a TV; and an L-shape desk with plenty of storage and adequate room for him to work.  

Client:  I love your suggestion of the L-shape desk; it allowed us to incorporate all our requests for his bedroom.  And the creative way to store his trucks- they mean so much to him and our family and now they finally have a home!  And it's such a beautiful room now. He loves it, we love it, and we can't wait to work on our bedroom next!
