The Parquet Ranch project sits on a beautiful large lot in a hidden gem of a neighborhood. It's near city amenities, but feels rural as trees hide it from the main road. The house itself was in fantastic shape, but didn't fit our clients' design taste. Built in the mid-1908s, many aspects of the house still felt tied to that decade. Our clients had dreams of creating a more open living space and revamping the surfaces of the home to reflect their mountain rustic style.

Our Favorite Details – Bathroom Edition

Over the years and through all kinds of projects, we've collected some favorite details that just seem to finish the job well. We pride ourselves in regularly paying attention to details in all projects. They are just as important to the overall finish of a space as the big items, and we believe they are often the little touches that enhance functionality for the client. Some of these details were our idea, some were requested by our clients, but all made a difference in their respective spaces. Here are our favorite details - bathroom edition!

Modern Farmhouse Bathroom – Before & After

This project was especially exciting as it was our own master bathroom! While the room had great bones, the design was decades out of date (cultured marble and seashell sinks!). The tiled wall enclosing the tub/shower cut the room in half, making it feel small and cramped. The vaulted ceiling added great interest, but the design didn't utilize its potential as a feature in the room. We had ample counter space on the long vanity, but cabinet storage was lacking due to the outdated vanity cutout. While we appreciated the closet storage space, the old sliding door had been removed and the curtain separating the closet from the bathroom made the transition feel cluttered.

Double-Sided Fireplace – Before & After

This double-sided fireplace renovation was completed last fall – just in time for the holidays! We removed the existing tile from both sides of the fireplace and installed new tile. A dark 12×24 tile was used on the living room side for a sleek, solid-surface look. On the dining room side, we installed a 3×6 subway tile in a herringbone pattern to add interest and dimension. We also removed the existing woodwork from the living room side of the fireplace and installed shiplap and a custom mantle in its place.
