Hello there! It’s been a busy week with a trip to Seattle for the Picasso exhibition and a drive out to the coast but I knew I had to share this amazing remodel with you before the week came to a close.
Everyone loves good makeovers and the ones involving tiny spaces, creative design and ingenious solutions are my all time favorites! Check out how Seattle artist, designer and welder, Michelle de la Vega, created this beautiful little 250 sq. ft. haven…
The before…
This lonely little detached garage is just begging for some love.
The after! Isn’t it fabulous!?
A cozy, light filled sleeping loft is so perfect for the space. Must be a dreamy spot on all those rainy days.
The kitchen is well organized and accessible with open storage solutions. Love those vintage crates that most likely serve as drawers!
The rustic wood burning stove becomes sculptural in this room along with Michelle’s own art installations.
The glass boxes housing pillow forms are actually a tribute to Michelle’s father. Each one is covered with his old architectural drawings. A lovely personal and nostalgic touch.
You know I am a big fan of great bathroom design and this one delivers. Its simplicity is calming, earthy and zen like and I love how surprising a tub is in this tiny home!
To finish our little home tour, I had to point out this old locker. Re-purposing found and used objects like this really adds to the depth and personality of your home. It’s also a great way to be green! Up-cycled perfection.
Oh and just so you know…Michelle only spent $32,000 on the renovation!
How many of us have garages that only house our junk!? What could you do with a space like this? That home office you’ve always wanted, a studio, a guest house? So many possibilities…
Have a lovely weekend!
