Brass is Back!

Forget about that shinny 80’s brass – today's brass is back and in a good way. With a more rich and natural finish incorporating a splash of brass into your home adds great texture and style. And don’t worry, just because you have found one great brass piece doesn’t mean that all of your finishes throughout your room have to be brass too!

Don't be afraid to bring in a pop of brass. The best way to start is with a small sculpture, lamp or accent fixture!

Trends in Design | Bathroom Cabinets

Whether you are considering doing a complete bathroom overhaul or planning on re-vamping your existing bathroom fixture, there are a lot of elements to consider. Let’s start with the bathroom vanity. The bathroom vanity is usually the largest piece of furniture and the main source of storage in any bathroom. But it is important to not only focus on having a functional vanity but an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture for your room too.

If you are not planning on gutting 100% of your bathroom, then it might be wise to consider refinishing your existing vanity cabinet with paint or decorative trim details. A little pop of color can completely transform any outdated vanity, and adding hardware "jewelry" is the perfect finishing touch.

Finding unique furniture pieces like a sideboard or dresser and renovating it into something new and sophisticated, can also be a beautiful touch for any bathroom.  Keep in mind when searching for the perfect piece of furniture that it needs to provide room for storage and that the cabinet is large enough to accommodate the necessary plumbing.

We hope that you find inspiration either in your existing vanity or in a unique piece that calls to you! If you would like some guidance with putting your next room together or need some questions answered about a tricky vanity project, don't hesitate to ask!

Shower Perfection

As we discussed last week, one of our current projects is a master bathroom remodel. With this new project the discussion of replacing a large soaking tub with a shower experience is a direction that we are finding is becoming quite popular for today's busy clients.

Real Estate Pro Articles shares that “A shower is more practical and economical in your home renovation than a bathtub. For those who always have a hectic schedule can always appreciate the advantage of a shower than a luxurious tub. Showers also provide relaxation benefits depending on the kind you choose to install. The soothing water in your shower helps relieve stress. Showers are wonderful if you have limited space in your bathroom. Showers also guaranty an easy drainage system. Installing a simple shower is cost-efficient, easy to install and practical.”

With such "hectic schedules" a well-planned and designed shower can allow you to get the relaxation that you need in a manner that is more practical.

Master Bath Revamp: Part 1 Before

A new challenge has presented itself…what to do with an out of date master bathroom!! We are in the beginning stages of this master bathroom remodel and are excited to bring this bath up to date.

Although a 5 piece master bath suite may be optimal to some, many of today's clients want to remove their large soaking tubs to create a luxurious shower experience. The large amount of area that is consumed by the deck of the tub creates awkward angles and eats up a lot of the bathroom.

Not only is this a massive fixture in the bathroom but it also lacks proper function. The lack of a plumbing access panel to the soaking tub will require tearing out of ceramic tiles from the facade in order to repair broken faucet handles.

Another issue of this master suite remodel is the dungeon like shower. Reminiscent to a phone booth from the past, this single shower stall is too small and confined for comfort and convenience.

We are excited to tackle this master suite and are excited to bring you along with us. Check back to see the process and transformation! Are you about to tackle the revamp of a master bath?? Need some help? Send us your questions!
