Meredith and Michael are busy medical professionals who live with their young daughter in a beautiful 1920s home in the heart of the city. They are considering expanding their family, but when that happens they will lose one of the rooms in their three-bedroom house, which means no spare room for out-of-town guests.

Their third-floor attic seemed the perfect place for new guest quarters, but the cramped space — used as TV room, playroom and home office — was in critical condition and needed a style injection, stat. So I called in my design team and set out to heal this pained space by turning it into a comfortable and stylish retreat for the whole family.
