We love love love a renovation, a great ‘before and after‘ and pretty much any excuse to ogle high end fixtures and finishes. Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Houzz. We can’t stop. And while this obsession may leave us a little envious of that sexy boudoir down the street, it also fuels a crazy over confidence in our abilities insatiable passion for renovation. Swoon worthy, no?

The dreaded ‘Before’
A surprising number of people thought we were insane to tear out cream colored marble and this solid wood double vanity. I. Can’t. Even.
The minute the house was ours, we hired yours truly as the Interior Designer. The subcontractors we worked with were amazingly talented, professional and a pleasure to work with and it certainly shows in their craftsmanship. We adore the finished project.
We were feeling the curves of the fixtures against the sharp rectangular tiles, sinks and medicine cabinets.
We love the reclining angle of this soaking tub and the smokey beveled mirror tile.
We got a vibe and tried to stick with it. Consider matching finishes & forms, but use complementary colors, periods & styles.
