Amy added lots of storage solutions throughout the condo to make the most of the small footprint. Most notably, she transformed the closet into a dressing room, complete with floor-to-ceiling storage and a dressing table in the middle. “I wanted to use every inch of the space for storage and at the same time create a beautiful room, not just a closet,” Amy explains.

She worked with The Container Store to customize the space to fit her wardrobe. They included storage solutions, such as having lots of ¾-length hanging options to accommodate her pants and skirts, along with low shelves for her shoes.

Her design inspiration for the condo reflects the history of the building, which is mid-century modern with a classic modern interior. 

“I wanted it to flow well with the rest of the building and tie in what you see in the hallway to make that transition,” she says.

Amy had the walls painted white to brighten the space and added paneling for a classic feel. She went to Sherwin-Williams to have them color-match a piece of the condo’s original trim to find the perfect white. Long sheets of white porcelain tile with Calacatta marbling in the kitchen and the fireplace surround add a touch of glamour to the space. Light fixtures in her foyer match the brass fixtures in the building’s common spaces and create a transition into the home. Brushed gold on the hardware and fixtures throughout the space add a classic feminine accent. To continue the classic detailing, plaster medallions were added to the ceilings of the dining room and the primary bathroom. 

“The Kansas City Museum on Gladstone had done a restoration of their plaster work, and I wanted to duplicate that look in my home,” Amy says. The medallions also serve a functional purpose by covering where the original electrical features were located before the remodel.
