Dog Wash tub and cabinets

This room was home to one piece of laundry equipment. It was a dual purpose washer/dryer. The homeowner has two big dogs that are very active, and very messy! They needed a dog wash.

This was our starting point.

This was the starting point. The tile floor is in great shape.

Tile done and grouted.

The tile was finished and grouted. Then onto the paint!

The drawer fronts were sprayed while the cabinet carcass was rolled and brushed.

This is the finished product- with the cleaning supplies left on top of the washer/dryer even though there is plenty of room to store them in cabinets above, and now below. I was apparently too excited to take the final picture to remember to put these things away…

Finished product!

Classic Style Bathroom Remodel

This Jack and Jill bathroom needed some updating as it was mostly original from 1959. The homeowners wanted a classic style bathroom remodel. As with all projects, deconstruction had to come first. The bathroom was stripped down to the studs and the ceiling joists. This process was messy, and all of the old plaster and tile had to go out the small window.

The vanity was a pre-built piece that had to be placed before the door trim was put into place. The vanity was trimmed out with wood at the same time that the base and crown moldings were installed. The new pocket doors were put into place, and this bathroom was finished!

The floor was installed with minimum grout lines (laid out without spacers) for the cleanest look possible.
