class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The original proportions of the space were a bit off: The room was too tall for its width. The stairs were closed off, the ceiling had random beams in strange places, and we had another ugly HVAC unit, complete with oddly placed thermostat, in the middle of the wall. To correct the proportion issue, I wrapped the room in paneling of burled maple, stopping it just below the clerestory windows and taking that line around the entire perimeter to also create the railing line for the mezzanine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This brought the room down to a more livable scale and took away the stark and disorienting verticality. I also opened up the staircase, which gives the space more width, added a fireplace and fluted the 22-foot-tall columns to create an elegant extravaganza&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Staircase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/26-Stair-Before-and-After-950x405.jpg\" alt=\"Staircase\" class=\"wp-image-336882\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The original staircase started immediately when you walked in the front door. There was no breathing room. It went straight up to a landing, where you had to make a sharp, 180-degree turn and then continue up another straight run. All of this was concealed behind a partial-height wall, which closed off the space and just, frankly, looked terrible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Removing the walls around the staircase lets it breathe, though you still get a sense of a&#8217;stair hall. By creating a gentle curve, I was able to tuck the stairs back a bit more in the corner to allow traffic to go directly from the front door to the living room without walking around and through the dining room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The airy blackened-steel railing adds a beautiful detail going up the stairs, but we decided to use clear glass facing the living room to keep it as open as possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/27-Kitchen-Before-and-After-950x593.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen\" class=\"wp-image-336883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/27-Kitchen-Before-and-After-950x593.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/27-Kitchen-Before-and-After-561x350.jpg 561w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/27-Kitchen-Before-and-After-120x75.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/27-Kitchen-Before-and-After-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/27-Kitchen-Before-and-After-1536x959.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/27-Kitchen-Before-and-After-2048x1278.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/27-Kitchen-Before-and-After-1495x933.jpg 1495w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The original kitchen had very suburban, chopped-up cabinetry, with clunky lighting everywhere in the ceiling and a wood floor. My goal was to create something more moody and contemporary, but still warm and with a little sparkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I wanted the island to feel more like a piece of furniture on legs. I kept the base cabinets darker, to ground the room, and then clad the uppers in textured eglomise glass for sparkle. I cleaned up the ceiling by creating a simple step detail to define the area and relocated all the task lighting in and under the upper cabinetry. The mosaic-glass floor adds reflection and bounces the light around the room.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Bathroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/28-Her-Bath-Before-and-After-950x712.jpg\" alt=\"Bathroom\" class=\"wp-image-336884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/28-Her-Bath-Before-and-After-950x712.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/28-Her-Bath-Before-and-After-467x350.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/28-Her-Bath-Before-and-After-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/28-Her-Bath-Before-and-After-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/28-Her-Bath-Before-and-After-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/28-Her-Bath-Before-and-After-2048x1534.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/28-Her-Bath-Before-and-After-1245x933.jpg 1245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This bathroom was a hot mess, with an awkward-height wainscot of mismatched Carrara marble tiles, a bizarre ceiling soffit causing an off-center light fixture, a skinny tub and an institutional vanity area that had harsh lights and open-base cabinet doors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I re-clad the walls in book-matched marble slabs that went all the way up to the now-symmetrical ceiling covered in gold-leaf mosaic with a whimsical swirl pattern.
