Look Up
The vaulted ceiling, exposed barn wood beams, two tiers of windows and low-hanging lights add space and height to a small room.
Maximizing Space
Designer Monica Mangin used space very creatively in her family's small vacation home, seen here is a custom-built hidden door plate rack, behind which is the kids' room.
Kitchen Creativity
Monica created this peg board in the kitchen area to hold pans and kitchen utensils and save on counter and drawer space.
Fit for a Queen
