Hutch: gallery 3

Whether you call it a hutch, a bookcase, a bureau, a china cabinet, a built-in or armoire, it is here that you will find the most individuality and ability for owners to express themselves by building what they need.

It's a shame that I didn't compensate for lighting. This bookcase was washed out by the windowbook backlighting. These first 5 frames are all from the same home. It shows how a motif can flow through a home.

At this angle the bench becomes apparent. The detail in the top rail is repeated in the valance above the window.

A smaller bookcase off the bonus room matches the design style of the large bookcase.

Straight ahead is an art nook and entertainment center. Looking up the staircase to the second floor and to the left is the bonus room, to the right, on the landing is located the large bookcase.

The focal point of the living room is the stone fireplace and the entertainment center bookended by art nooks that have a bench below with storage. There is plenty of shelf area for decoration even running a ledge above. Many people convert one bedroom into an office. What Brenda is showing here is one solution to having a place to put guests up for the night, that would be by pulling down the murphy bed!

If you think you're looking at the same home, look again. It is because they are by the same builder, COS. In this model the fireplace is centered. To the left is a bookcase and to the right the entertainment center.

So mom can keep an eye on everyone and catch business news on cnn, the kitchen is a room with a view. The flipper doors on the entertainment cabinet are closed.

One last look going up the stairs.
