It's November!!
Fall is always one of the busiest times of the year for me - both with work - and with life in general! Somehow I have found some time to catch my breath and reflect on a few projects. I head out to cabinetry training in Canada next week to learn the latest and greatest in frameless cabinetry design and then have a few wild weeks so here's a few blogs to wrap up this month- in advance!
Like I always say... I LOVE my clients - and here's just another example of a project that I have completed for an awesome family!!
This home was not even quite purchased when I started this project. The family was moving in town from out in the country and had me come in and take a look at the home before it was purchased to make sure it had potential - and it totally did! It was a very simple home that was basically just a little out dated - it just needed a little TLC and a swap out of most of the interior materials.
Since the job was a while out of town I set them up with a local contractor to take care of construction, putting in a sliding glass door for a new deck that will be installed this coming spring and coordinating plumbing, electrical, moving and so much more - and he did great!!
The design was very simple - keeping things light, warm, cozy and neutral so they could get moved in and then spend time putting their own touch on the home with their new furniture & accessories along with a few existing pieces they were brining with. I have seen photos since with furniture and they did a great job with their selections!!
In the bathroom we tore out the existing acrylic tub/shower and gold door - which was so gorgeous - but I just could not bear to let it stay! Warm tile with a soft accent was added and touched off with a stunning glass & oil rubbed bronze door - with of course a clear shield finish to shed water deposits and keep the glass crystal clear!!
Of course accessories were added - a bench & shelving for storage. A mosaic allows a bit of contrast between the floor & wall tile. The bathroom floor is a vinyl tile so that it adds a little warmth for feet. We kept the existing cabinetry in the home because it was in good condition but added new lighting, plumbing & HD laminate tops with under mount sinks.
Through the rest of the house we did a fresh coat of paint, new carpet, new vinyl tile in the other bathroom & added a few updates in the kitchen and dining room. A new chandelier was added for over the dining table in the foyer.
In the kitchen we did a custom stain & door match and added a desk area to the kitchen. We also replaced the plumbing and added this great faucet - I love the design AND it has a magnet where the sprayer is recessed so that over time it doesn't start to droop. New HD laminate tops and an under mount sink were also added.
A travertine backsplash polishes off the kitchen. I adore the classic look of travertine & the harlequin pattern is PERFECT for this kitchen!
Wood flooring and a new chandelier was another addition - the floor is GORGEOUS!! It is a rustic hickory and was the perfect option to contrast with the existing trim, doors & cabinetry. It added just enough character and looks great with their new furniture that is now in the space!
Another design inspired - by another wonderful client - another renovation successfully COMPLETE!
