Bathroom

The full bathroom was totally remodeled. The tub was replaced with a neo angle shower in a new location. The hanging sink was replaced with a pedestal sink. The old metal window was replaced with an energy efficient window. New marble floor was installed. The ceiling was raised and a chair rail was installed on the walls.


Original bathroom


New bathroom - mirror above sink and cabinet above the toilet will be installed once they arrive.

Kitchen Remodel

The kitchen was totally remodeled and expanded. The half bath and pantry were removed to allow for more kitchen space, mainly for cabinets. One old window was found boarded up behind the pantry wall. A new window was installed to let more light into the kitchen. Kitchen includes new stained cabinets, granite countertop, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, cooktop/oven, new hardwood flooring (oak with Brazilian Cherry inlay border).


Just in case you forgot what the old kitchen looked like.


Old cooktop/stove. This was the extent of the old kitchen.

Now the new kitchen......





And now the final product................





Cabinet knobs. Goal was to compliment the antique glass door knobs throughout the offices.

I heard Lauren's mother is a wonderful cook. We will have to get her over to the kitchen to Christen it.

Ceiling Medallions

Upond removal of false ceiling we found the old ceiling medallions. Most were in good shape except for many layers of paint. One medallion was damaged from prior electrical renovation where a large hole was drilled to fish wires to other parts of the room. We manually stripped the old layers of paint off the medallions and repaired the broken one. The medallions were all painted gold to make them stand out on the ceiling.
