This space had a former life as a pass-through hallway. It was made possible by closing an opening that used to sit right where the mirror is, and also by moving access to the adjoining powder room just around the corner. What we gained was invaluable space to perch with a laptop, sort mail, pay bills, and act as a tech hub for the home. Aren’t the gorgeous exposed shelves amazing? And we love the juxtaposition of the quartz countertop with the black penny round tile backsplash that clads the entire wall.

Here’s a good look at the tile after installation, but before grouting. We made sure to add plenty of outlets for easy charging access!

This picture shows the exposed plumbing of the adjoining powder room on the left, and the prior opening to the laundry on the right, now closed.

Here you can see a “birds eye” view of the powder room in the middle and the tech nook on the right. Lots of wood repair and replacement for the floors before they were given a gorgeous walnut finish at the end.
