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…
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.
Demolition is very messy work!This bathroom was very dated and the tub was scratched and chipped.
Out with the old
One of the requested upgrades was the removal of the outward swinging doors that were taking up too much wall space in each of the adjoining bedrooms.
New pocket doors were installed, followed by new drywall on the ceiling and the walls.
In with the new
The shower surround has a niche for shampoo and soap, finished with metal tile trim.
The new bath/shower with subway tile surround.
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!
Finished vanity with marble top, crown molding, new light, and new doors
The floor was installed with minimum grout lines (laid out without spacers) for the cleanest look possible.

This kitchen had last been updated several decades ago, and even then it did not address some of the huge issues that were limiting it’s potential. It was a small, galley style with a drop down ceiling and dated tile.
The homeowners wanted an open concept kitchen and great room, so this kitchen wall that housed the sink and ovens had to go. The sliding door at the far end had to come out too as this was to become the window over the new farmhouse style sink.
The layout was done to maximize the open site lines required for open concept, and also to provide enough storage for a functional kitchen.
New cabinet frames built in place. Just waiting on the cabinet and door fronts.
The new custom cabinets were built in place. The only thing left was to wait for the cabinet and door fronts to arrive to finish installation.
The range hood was installed and the granite countertops were laid to finish the kitchen.
