Home Styling - Norfolk

I was thrilled to partner with Ideal Organizing on this fun decor project. These clients had recently purchased a new investment property and were in need of fresh furnishings and accessories. Many of the furniture pieces had already been selected, but I had the joy of adding the finishing touches - the art, window dressings, and accessories.

The goal was a modern coastal vibe, and in my humble opinion, I think we achieved it. I had such a great time selecting and placing these final touches - those are the icing on the cake.

PRIMARY BATH REMODEL - VIRGINIA BEACH

These clients felt lucky to have a spacious primary bath. The problem, however, was that the space was not being utilized in the best ways. The immense tub and tub surround filled up most of the room, leaving the shower space cramped and dark. There was so much untapped potential, and I was beyond ready to help them create the serene and tranquil retreat they had always hoped for.

BEFORE

This was a great collaboration - my design concept gave the clients the tools and information needed for them to source the fixtures and materials, and allow them to play an important part in this transformation in their home. The images below are two of my design renderings for the space.

The existing jetted tub was removed, and the large surround completely demoed to allow for a larger shower. The updated shower was wrapped in a partial wall topped with glass, to allow more light to flow between the shower and main bath area. The reworking of this part of the bathroom, along with a new freestanding tub, made space for additional cabinetry storage.

AFTER

The vanity area kept the same footprint, and was revived with fresh cabinetry, natural stone countertops, a colorful backdrop, and unique sconces. The results are thrilling.

PRIMARY BATH REMODEL - VIRGINIA BEACH

This project was motivated by a need for repairs - a mystery water leak was causing damage to the shower walls (which could lead to health concerns). Since the bathroom was original to the home, the clients were also ready for a design change. They decided to completely refresh the space while remodeling to address the water leak issue, allowing them to improve the aesthetics and functionality of the space.

BEFORE

AFTER

The layout of the bathroom remained the same; not much else did, however! My design concept removed the tub and added a built-in shower bench. The design also included new porcelain tiles for the bath floor and shower, a glass accent tile with a soft coastal palette, a deep wood tone vanity with drawers for better storage, a glass shelf, brushed nickel fixtures, and soft white walls.

All leak issues were taken care of, and the final result is an eye-catching (and safe) primary bath.

PRIMARY BATH REMODEL - NORFOLK

This transformation was thrilling. The clients’ original bathroom had a large (and rather dangerous) bathtub / shower combination that they essentially had to climb into every day. It was causing lots of frustration and little enjoyment.

BEFORE

AFTER

The clients decided to eliminate the tub completely; this allowed me to use that entire area for a new spacious shower with a built-in bench, while the vanity and toilet locations remained the same. My design concept included all new fixtures and materials including: a furniture style vanity with a wallpapered accent wall; white ceramic and deep blue glass tiles; pill-shaped mirrors; brushed nickel fixtures; and crisp white walls.

The resulting bathroom gave the clients all they were hoping for - and all those frustrations went right out the (new) window.
