One of the more fun parts of working with a design builder is that the same guy who is building the general structure will also be doing the custom details on the interior. Built-ins, like shelves or desktops (of which we will have plenty), are a trademark of houses that Jeff builds. We have a few custom built-in ideas to challenge Jeff. Don't feel sorry for him either. This kind of work excites him.
To best communicate our ideas to Jeff, Lisa and I design the projects in InDesign. (See above) We did that for two projects this week:
1. The master bedroom bed wall: The idea is that the bed will fit into an alcove. This will be built with drywall. Inside the alcove there will be cubbies on both sides of the bed, equipped with outlets, speakers and light switches for reading lights. To fill the dead space in the drywall pillars, we're adding shelving on both sides.
2. The downstairs bookshelf and platform lounge: The middle of the downstairs is wide open space. We've already come to grips with the fact that it will be the playroom for this season of life. The platform style lounge is a place to read with our kids, around which, staggered bookshelves will store toys, books, and decor. One of the larger shelf openings will house a fixed horizontal window.
