Homeowners’ request. “The homeowner wanted a space off the garage where they could drop backpacks and shoes,” Lindsay Slarve of Slarve Construction says. 

Special features. Dark gray paint with blue undertones (Down Pipe by Farrow & Ball). Push-to-open hidden cabinet above. Shoe storage below and hooks for backpacks and coats. Natural white oak floating shelf and matching bench top. “The brick floor was installed so that the hardwood floors would not be damaged in a heavily trafficked area,” Slarve says. “These clients were very particular about the layout of the cabinetry and its height. They worked with our in-house cabinet shop to make sure everything was custom to their needs.”

“Uh-oh” moment. “Challenging moments in this room included making sure the floor depth was correct — because we were using brick — to be flush with the hardwood floor in the surrounding rooms, and using just the right amount of grout to achieve the desired result,” Slarve says.
