A Woman's Oasis WRITTEN BY COLLEEN COLEMAN OF CMC DESIGN STUDIO, LLC PHOTOS BY STOCKWELL MEDIA
an interior designer, I see women struggle with organization in all areas of their home. Hiring a professional to help you create a functional, organized, yet divine space to call your own is worth the investment for the peace of mind it delivers in your daily tasks, as one of my clients discovered in her journey for more closet space. The home Larissa Rosecrans shares with her husband, P.J. had an extra bedroom conveniently located near the master bedroom. Opening the wall between the spaces, where an existing full-length mirror existed, allowed them saratogaTODAYnewspaper.com
to create a Master Suite while repurposing the unused bedroom as her closet. In working with Larissa, she had three goals in mind… retaining the striped wallcovering that she loved, while allowing it to be seen amongst all the cabinets, utilizing the custom drapes and incorporating a large island with multiple drawers for storage. Likewise, we faced a few challenges (all projects have challenges… I love it!), the room had two large windows and a large working radiator to contend with and a husband who is in real estate and was very focused on high quality cabinets. After measuring all her belongings, yes, every square inch, the newly organized bedroom - transformed into a walk-in closet - was revealed to Larissa in 3D. “It was amazing! I could literally see the room design and the functionality of the space was exactly what I wanted. I knew it was going to be perfect!”
