"Location: Larchmont, NY Produced by Colette Scanlon Ortiz Styled by Gerri Williams      The canopy bed adds to the Swiss-chalet feeling the Grovemans wanted to create in their attic refuge.     Cooking instructor Lauren Groveman spends much of the day in her kitchen-but that doesn&amp;#039;t mean she was willing to give her bedroom suite short shrift. When her kids were young, she and her husband Jonathan turned their old bedroom into a shared office, and converted a warren of little attic rooms into a beautiful suite where they could trade in parenthood for some privacy-at least for a few hours a day. &amp;quot;We liked the idea of having a private master suite,&amp;quot; says Groveman, &amp;quot;but that also presented a lot of challenges since it was going to be on the third floor of the house.&amp;quot; Chief among those challenges was the fact that everything-all the furniture, the bathroom, even the closets-had to fit under the home&amp;#039;s steep eaves. To take advantage of every square (or angled) inch that was available, the Grovemans had their dressers built right into the walls, with each drawer progressively deeper as the walls slant. The bedroom itself is reminiscent of a country inn or a Swiss chalet, with its rustic beams and a romantic canopy bed. There&amp;#039;s plenty of seating space, thanks to a long bench placed at the foot of the bed and delicate-looking but comfortable chairs-and you won&amp;#039;t find those chairs draped with tomorrow&amp;#039;s outfit or yesterday&amp;#039;s dry cleaning. The efficient his-and-her closets-on the far side of the bathroom-make it very easy to keep two wardrobes perfectly organized.       The sloped ceiling precluded a walk-in closet, so the Grovemans installed rotating racks like the ones dry cleaners use to keep clothes accessible.    &amp;quot;We wanted big walk-in closets,&amp;quot; says Groveman, &amp;quot;but because of the eaves, it would have been impossible. So, while the closets are angular, we had enough room to install revolving racks like the ones they have at the dry cleaners. We push a button, and our clothes &amp;#039;walk&amp;#039; right over to us.&amp;quot; Although it&amp;#039;s not common to build bedroom closets that open in the bathroom, Groveman admits, it&amp;#039;s actually very sensible. &amp;quot;This way,&amp;quot; she explains, &amp;quot;instead of one person walking in and out of the bedroom, into the closet, out of the closet, into the bathroom, and out again while the other is still sleeping in the morning, you go into the bathroom, shower, get dressed, and don&amp;#039;t walk out again until you&amp;#039;re ready to go.&amp;quot; Of course, no one&amp;#039;s in a huge rush to walk out of this bathroom anyway. Large, airy, and dappled with natural light, it incorporates every imaginable convenience, times two. The space includes his-and-her vanities and a makeup area for Lauren. With its elegant arched doorway and faux-painted ceiling with clouds, the Jacuzzi room is Lauren&amp;#039;s favorite hideaway in this master-suite refuge.
