Bring on the new year!

Phew 2022!

How is everyone doing?

We continue to have absolutely amazing clients and projects that we get to design. Some of these projects are taking longer than planned due to supply chain issues and delays. Through it all, though, we are grateful to our clients and especially grateful to the clients that complete one remodel project and jump into another one. That is the case with two bathroom projects we recently completed with repeat clients. That means they lived through the dust the first time remodeling their kitchens and chose to do it again with a bathroom! Both of these bathrooms function as a powder room for guests as well as serving guest bedrooms. We designed a luxe experience for the guests staying for dinner as well as the weekend.

Navy + Gold Bathroom

This bathroom started with a finish from every decade that wasn’t easy to maintain. I think I’ve blocked out just how many shades of harvest gold or green and laminate there were in this small space. We started with a classic color palette to carry this update into this decade. The real key in the design was to gain the feeling of space. A custom shallow vanity and a wall-hung toilet are game changers. Easier to maintain and clean for the win!

Mid-Mod Bathroom

Here we had a 1990’s bathroom trapped in a 1960’s home. Ouch, please no more green marble. So it was out with the old and in with a unique color-blocked vanity. Clean lines, mosaic tile and modern fixtures allow for guests to pamper themselves in style.

It’s a new year and we still hope you and yours are safe and healthy as it has been a struggle for many. Our creative process continues to move forward with our amazing local showrooms, vendors and tradespeople. Patience is the name of the game with remodeling and a glass of wine might help.

Cheers!

We look forward to working with you!

Change is a good thing, I promise

We all love options

Everyone likes change, right? Just kidding. Change can be scary which is why many times it is easier for things to stay the same. If you’ve taken on the big task of doing a remodel then this isn’t you. You were ready for a change. Change can be wonderful, especially when we have a chance to plan for it.

A bathroom remodel is full of permanent change. Great planning is important in selecting tile and plumbing fixtures as they are not easy to just “switch out”. On the other hand, accessories, artwork, and even hardware can be switched up for a fresh look even after a remodel. 

We recently finished a hall bathroom project with a client and wanted to show them different ways to personalize their space. Whether you want to change the look due to a life event, change of season, or simply to freshen up your space there are easy ways to do this.

Where we started

This bathroom was completely gutted with all the fixtures staying in their existing locations. We said goodbye to tile counters and Hollywood vanity lighting. In came a new bathtub, vanity, toilet, fixtures…..EVERYTHING.

After some big changes

The clients prefer a clean mid-century inspired style so I had to incorporate that look into a traditional 1990’s house. We achieved this design with a mixture of tiles, a floating vanity, high-contract black and white. 

Here’s the happy result using neutral accessories and a pop of color in the flowers.

We also had a little fun and played pretend for when a college aged daughter returns home from college. How can we personalize for her use? By switching up the accessories and adding in a few personal items, we've easily created a space that is her style. These simple updates bring a new feeling to a finished space.

These are photographs that I took while working with our fabulous photographer Julie Mannell. Please be sure to check out our Houzz profile for the finished project pictures.

See you next month!
