| I chose this as the feature bathroom, not only because of the great results, it has a little of everything The homeowner (Susan) was very active in selecting tile,faucets, etc. Susan had a flair for pulling the "whole look" together. We joked about the choices she made. as I felt uneasy with some of the choices, at first. Susan managed to change my view on a number of things and I have to credit her with broadening my spectrum! It was a fun job to do and the end results were terrific. |
| The two upper pictures are the original bathroom that dated back to the mid 70's We managed to save the tub (which was in fine condition). The two lower pictures are the after shots. Notice the post was removed at the shower. |
| The tile used was a Travertine tile. The decorative trim pieces added an elegance that is not overbearing and is unlikely to date the home anytime soon! |

| Many times we can save the existing cabinets and install new doors and drawer fronts. These cabinets were redone completly, Notice the backsplash tile is a carry over from the tub and shower. |
| No bending and reaching for items in hard to get areas. Full extension drawers add a nice touch. Nice knobs and pulls finish it off nicely. |
| The granite tops add a virtually indestructible surface. The floor tile has insets that match the tops! The square sinks and faucets ewere where Susan and I had some disagreements. She won me over in the end. |
| Left: The granite inserts with the floor tile. Right: The Travertine tile, shower fixtures and corner caddies (shelves) make the shower an inviting space. |
| Susan stands proud in her bathroom. We never rush our clients. We would rather see you take the time to select what you want. Thats how you end up with the perfect bathroom. |
| Just a few more little touches Susan was so good with. |
| This home is located on Wink in the Memorial area. I hope you can tell the upper photo is the before! The new vanity top is a cultured marble unit. This was a relatively simple remodel. |
| Most people are nervous about using colors of any sort. I have always said if you plan on staying in the home a long time then choose what you like! If you are going to seel in the near future you may want to tone it down. Some areas of town are more accepting of colors than others. |
| This job is located in the Spring area. The cultured marble top has an 8" spread faucet and a recessed oval bowl. The french doors open in from the Master Bedroom. The tub is a whirlpool unit and is wired with a ground fault plub |
