Now You See it ...Now You Don't


BEFORE WALL

BEFORE LAUNDRY ROOM
Working with previous clients, phase two required removing the clunky walls that housed a powder room accessed through a short hall to the garage door. Directly opposite the powder room was the old laundry room which was moved upstairs last year. The new powder room now fits nicely into the old space. In order to keep the house structurally sound a 20’ beam was placed and extended across the dining space. The homeowner’s elected to stain finish it for a natural rustic look verses wrapping it with sheetrock and painting it. We also extended out the Mill House Maple Caramel laminate flooring and into the powder room, thus creating the illusion of a much larger space. The walls were painted Sherwin Williams SW7634 "Pediment", a muted palette that’s easy to live with.

AFTER
 
The new powder room has a new clean lined “expresso” colored vanity. The old florescent ceiling module is now replaced with a very chic chandelier adorning hanging round crystals. The walls were painted Sherwin Williams SW7652 "Mineral Deposit". The exhaust fan was replaced with a new Quiet Whisperer model, which wasn’t so quiet at first. After evaluation, it was discovered that their original venting system was composed of the flexible piping (the kind you find just behind dryer venting). New rigid proper diameter sized venting was the resolve in getting the rattling to stop after a few bouts of frustration from Don.   
 
We also did a minor remodel into their kitchen which will be entered into our gallery in the near future. This new wide open space has given this family more living room that comes from what you feel, not just what you see.
