Vanity…After

The new vanity is more appropriate for the era of the house. This vanity has a furniture look and is on legs. The same decorative boarder that was used in the shower was mounted on the wall as a frame for the mirror.

Shower…After

This is the completed tile stall shower with bench, frameless shower doors, and duel shower heads. This shower has a decorative tile border, and the shower floor is blue marble tile which coordinates with the vanity top.

This is a close up of the double vanity.

Family Room Renovation…Before

Family Room Renovation… After

This is the adjoining family room to the Newton MA kitchen below.

Kitchen Renovation… Before

This house is in Newton MA. This house was built in 1980 by a builder. It’s layout was not working for the family. The kitchen cabinets were replaced, and all of the hardware was updated. The flat unatractive window was replaced with an angular bay window. The refridgerator was moved to the other side of the island, in order to break through the den wall to make a kitchen/ family room combination. A hardwood floor was installed replacing the outdated linoleum. A new tile backsplash was designed, and the granite countertops replaced the formica ones. I got rid of the track lighting and put in recessed lighting. I replaced the popcorn cielings with a smooth finish.

Kitchen Renovation… After

The complete Newton MA kitchen. The cabintes are lighter, there is more lighting fom the window and new fixtures, and the kitchen is more functional.

Bathroom…Before

This is an all white bathroom with a Corian counter top and a ceramic tile floor.

Bathroom…After

New window treatments were added for decor as well as shutters for privacy. Ceramic wall tile was installed with a ceramic base molding at the bottom and a ceramic chairrail at the top of the wall.
