A Bevy of Built-Ins

摘要

A5-ft.-tall access door off the stair landing, just a couple of steps down from the second floor in our house, makes for an awkward entry to the 13-ft. by 12-ft. space above the kitchen. But once inside, there's a surprisingly large amount of room to move around in under the gable ceiling. Originally an unconditioned storage space, the previous owners attempted to finish out the room with fiberglass-batt insulation behind paneling, padded carpet over a plank subfloor, and rudimentary electrical outlets and a ceiling fixture.
