CHALLENGE #4: BUDGETING THE PROJECT

The answer came with the designer's idea for creating a pantry space
between the kitchen and the back entrance. Across from the pantry, there is
now room for a 4-ft.-wide coat closet where the girls can store their uniforms
and equipment before entering the kitchen.
The kitchen itself now offers significantly more storage. The new layout,
which takes advantage of the square footage the former powder room and
mudroom had been occupying, allowed for more cabinetry as well as an island
with additional storage space.
CHALLENGE #3: SAVING SPACE
IN THE MUDROOM & POWDER ROOM

The existing laundry room and mudroom combo was in a narrow area off of
the kitchen. Somehow, Stephenson needed to also fit a powder room into
that area, while still including a laundry/mudroom space.
"We designed a walk-through laundry room that leads to a nice-sized,
private powder room at the end where the laundry originally was," said
Stephenson."We separated the mudroom - now the space between the new
closet and pantry - from the laundry area with a barn door [that slides] in
lieu of a hinged door [that swings out] to help save space."
In the walk-through laundry room, the designer added a custom 30-in.deep cabinet to store all the laundry baskets and economy-sized laundry
detergents. She also changed the hinge of the door to the garage so it could
swing out of the way and increase the traffic flow to the area.

ABOVE LEFT To help with
budget and labor costs,
the designer found a Formica laminate top for over the
washer/dryer that matched
the granite in the adjacent
kitchen. It is also easy to
remove if the homeowners
need to access the mechanics
to the washer/dryer.

Using Chief Architect's 360 Panorama - a virtual
reality program - Stephenson was able to give
her clients a more realistic outlook of the design.
She credits spending those few extra weeks in the
planning and design selections phase of the project
to saving on the budget.
"Instead of wasting money on costly mistakes
and change orders, we worked with the contractors and the homeowners before the remodel even
started to make sure that everyone was on the same
page and to ensure that the changes in the final
layout did not add to the budget," she explained.
Poquoson, Va.-based Mares Contracting was
able to give realistic allowances so the homeowners and the design team could stay within their
limits. Stephenson chose local suppliers where
she could. In addition, both the homeowners and
the contractors used a DBE Selections Sheet - an
Excel spreadsheet breaking down all the selections
and materials needed for the job - for each room
so they knew where they were with the budget
each step of the way.
"One of my favorite parts of this extensive
renovation was the fact that the whole family was
involved in the planning, decision making and
material selections," said the designer. "Because
we spent so much time planning and getting input
from the family, in addition to working with the
best contractors in the area, the project came in
under budget and ahead of schedule."

RIGHT "The client's daughters
joked that their new kitchen
was going to be so fancy we
should dress up for the final
shoot," said Stephenson, who
agreed but forgot her promise
by the time the project was
finished. "On the day of the
photo shoot, they had a prom
dress waiting for me to put
on. A promise is a promise, so
I gladly put on that prom dress
and posed for a picture."
