Homeowners Richard and Christina Stefani attended a C&R Kitchen and Bath Seminar with the full intention of remodeling their kitchen. However, they came away intrigued with the idea of building a back yard studio. Richard is an award winning photographer and the structure was designed to provide a separate, designated work space. Once the room was built it became much more. According to Christina, “ we use it as a client consultation room, shooting area for people and products, a gallery, an extra family room, a movie theater (we project movies and old-fashioned slide shows/multimedia presentations on the smooth back wall), and even hold dinner parties in it. It really is multi-purpose.” Photos by Stefani Photography. See more examples of their extraordinary work at www.StefaniPhotography.com.
