This project is in conjunction with the Weaverville Kitchen update.

The beach theme was carried into this space by way of the arches and color palette, to create a cohesive, welcoming environment for the owners.

Built-ins designed by Align Design and custom-built by a local cabinet maker offer up a more efficient way to store electronics, books, and collectibles in this lovely living area, while adding architectural interest that was originally lacking.

Hardwired sconces in the inset of the bookcases offer plenty of light for reading in the evening.

“Faced with a whole home remodel, we really needed help! I am so glad we found Shawn online. She met with us and got to know us, and figured out our design style, which I am not even sure we knew! She then drew up some beautiful plants that have worked out so well in our home. She also helped select colors and kept us from making an expensive mistake in our kitchen remodel. Shawn is easy to talk to, flexible and reasonable, and is prompt to respond to email. I highly recommend Shawn Merkel!”
