An artist's tiny home in Les Sables d'Olonne, France was in desperate need of some major renovations, organizational solutions and a design plan. This two story, 52m home was once a grange for farm material stocking. And although it was run down and in need of a lot of work, the home itself was oozing with charm, with a wood beam ceiling and very old stone walls. 

​

The downstairs was entirely gutted, a new entrance was created by opening the outside laundry room up, new windows were installed, a small wall was added to create the kitchen, the kitchen was created from scratch, new plumbing and electrical work, travertine flooring, a half bath added to the tiny area under the stairs, and a huge paint job. 

​

The goal in the design was to showcase the artist's paintings and antiques, while optimizing the living space to be beautiful and very functional. The home is now a cozy and romantic sanctuary, with an art studio zone added to her bedroom and thoughtfully created spaces. ​
