I hope the first week of 2019 is off to a good start for you. I cannot believe that we are finishing up the first week of 2019! Most of the week, I have spent working on my goals and intentions for the new year (I will be sharing more on Monday). I don’t do “resolutions.” However, last year I did begin working with more intention and goal setting. I plan to carry it into 2019. Did you set resolutions this year? As I said before, more about goals/resolutions on Monday. In the meantime, I am excited to share a new client project that I recently started with you today!
CURRENT BATHROOM DETAILS
The current bathroom is small and outdated. Built in the early 1900’s, the house has seen several renovations over the years. However, the most recent bathroom renovation was poorly DIYed and is in need of a remodel. My client has a small budget to work with and came to me to get the “biggest bang for his buck. ” The client will be completing the renovation work himself.
The bath and shower surround are in need up an upgrade. A new one will be installed during the renovation.
A fresh coat of paint, and flooring are needed to get this bathroom back in shape. I have proposed a soft, warm gray for the walls and a rich, warm wood laminate for the flooring.
The white vanity will be replaced with a rich, dark wood with open and closed storage. I have proposed to remove the white, cumbersome medicine cabinet. Replacing it with a dark, modern mirror over the vanity and a new set of chrome vanity lights.
