PRIMARY BATH REMODEL - NORFOLK

Though this remodel didn’t involve a full demo or a major layout change, the resulting transformation is still quite dramatic. The clients no longer had a need for the large tub that was using up valuable real estate; they opted to eliminate it to increase the storage capacity of the adjacent primary closet. They were ready for a reset of their color palette and an upgrade in accessories as well.

BEFORE

The shower moved to the tub’s former location, and the area that was the shower was captured for additional hanging and shelf space in the closet. The glass block window was removed, and the new deluxe shower was fitted with a rainshower, two showerheads, a handheld, and a custom bench (that the clients’ contactor was able to float!).

AFTER

Porcelain tile was used for the shower walls and main bathroom floor, and natural stone pebbles were used for the shower floor. The existing cabinetry was given new life with a fresh coat of white paint, new hardware, and a natural stone countertop. The large mirror with integrated LED lighting gives the whole space a bright, modern look. Another project I’m thankful to have been part of.

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.

KITCHEN REMODEL - YORKTOWN

The clients had two goals for this kitchen remodel: to open and brighten the space, and to update the storage capabilities. With the upper cabinets removed over the peninsula, the brighter finish on the cabinetry, and updated storage features, those goals were accomplished.

BEFORE

AFTER

The textures of the natural stone countertop, porcelain brick-look tiles, and warm wood floors balance the starkness of the custom paint finish of the cabinets. This keeps the area bright yet grounded. The cabinetry is much more functional for the clients’ storage needs and the overall space simply shines.
