An upstairs hallway can be more than a passageway, as this example vividly illustrates. The 4-foot-wide alcove occupies part of a soaring two-story accent wall and overlooks the kitchen. It functions as a homework station for the kids. The counter provides plenty of room for a computer; above it are built-in bookshelves.

Outdoor Paradise
Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
