Contemporary Ranch in Virginia

The original layout of this home was different than you see here. The area where the built-ins are was open to the previous dining room (on the right) next to the kitchen. I closed off the two spaces giving the home a much needed fourth bedroom. The old parkay flooring was taken out of the home and replaced with a light colored birch. The drop down room was repurposed into a media room and a built-ins were added for needed storage space and to give the room a new purpose. I didn't want to lose the natural wood element to the room from the birch built-ins so I white washed them to show the woods natural grain. Curtains were added to the opening of the room so that the room may be used as a cinema/media room giving the space a really cozy movie theater quality. Photo Credit: Kimberly Schneider
