“Flipping A House” Takes on New Meaning

The expression “flipping a house” takes on new meaning in this historic home renovation.  When our clients purchased this traditional house, they realized very quickly that it was not functional for their lifestyle.  They love to cook and entertain, but there was no access to the side yard and every room was dark and closed off from each other.

Is Your Lamp a Fashion Victim?

You know the feeling.  We’ve all been there.

All day you wear THAT outfit – the one that’s not really out of style.  It’s just too “classic” to discard, but it’s tired.  Or worse yet, it’s an expensive and unfortunate fashion statement that needs a friendly intervention.  A real friend will tell you the truth.  You need permission to let it go.

Finding Inspiration For A Master Bath Renovation

Several years ago my Aunt and I started talking about renovating her master bedroom and bathroom. Plans were drawn several different ways – adding on to the back of the house, the side of the house or converting one of the three bedrooms into a bath. In the end, the best designs for their needs was to add a master bath off the side of the house, adding 270 square feet to the home. The master bedroom floor plan remained the same with the exception of closing up one door to the guest bath and opening up a door to the new bath.

A quick sketch of the master bedroom and bathroom addition.
