Designer Profile

Rachel is an eclectic designer who enjoys using unique and heirloom items to tailor interiors to fit the user. Her style marries the clean lines of contemporary design with the warmth of tradition to create a restful pleasing atmosphere. A driving force, particularly in the kitchen and bath, is the idea of practical usable organization. Items are clustered behind cabinet doors in the areas where they are used to eliminate extra steps. She is very comfortable with home automation and barrier free universal design and loves to use this knowledge to improve her clients' way of life. In fact, Inside Out Builders LLC has targeted the age 55+ home buyer as their niche market for efficient, low maintenance, yet luxurious universal design homes. She keeps up with current technology through personal research and attending national trade shows to be sure her clients have the best products on the market. Environmentally friendly products are preferred where practical to do so.

A pull out lockable auxiliary countertop was placed below the microwave cabinet to serve as a breakfast bar.

There is another cup sized pullout beneath the breakfast bar.
