Bathroom Reno on a Dime!

A client recently asked me to redesign her dated 1990's bathroom on a small budget. It wasn't completely terrible but it certainly needed to be brought up to par with the rest of the condo which is a mixture of contemporary with hits of traditional.

Our first stop was Home Depot where we found a beautiful faux onyx floor for only $60 a box. The space was fairly small so it only took 3 boxes. Next, we spotted a gorgeous one piece contemporary vanity for $499. I like this because it has drawers as opposed to doors which makes for more organized storage as well as a cleaner look.

The chrome trough style faucet was $149. Finally, the lighting was a steal and was on sale for $110 from Lighting World (on Blackmarsh rd). We found a luxurious mirror-on-mirror at Homesense for $79 as well as 2 white shower curtains in terrycloth for $29 each. The client had existing artwork so we saved money by reusing.

I chose a deep gray paint color from Benjamin Moore to contrast the white fixtures. One gallon of Aura paint was $80 and already had primer built in so we saved a step.

Voila the reno is complete!

Powder Room Drama

The powder room is a great space to add drama and punches of the unexpected. This is usually the smallest space in the home and therefore the least expensive when it comes to a new home build budget or a reno. I always recommend that my clients go dramatic in this room so they can impress guests during dinner parties and add that element of atmosphere.

Choosing the right mirror, sink, faucet and lighting are all keys in the design process. Paint, wallpaper and art play a huge role as they set the feeling of the space.

A 3D image of a powder room design is always helpful in helping my clients visualize concepts.

The Art of Kitchen Design

For me, kitchen design is an art. I consider the floorplan a blank canvas from which I create an original piece that will last the test of time. I combine inspiration, in the form of existing and new ideas, working with the client to determine wants and needs and the addition of color, texture and detail.







Lighting, faucets and hardware are considered the jewelry of the kitchen. The addition of chromes and glass creates an essence of formality and sparkle whereas nickels and stainless steel contrast to create a more casual feeling.




Hard surfaces like granite, marble and quartz offer a feeling of luxury as well provide a virtually indestructible work surface.

The backsplash is not to be overlooked as it lends a finishing touch to the space by bridging color and texture. Finally, appliances are very important. The scale as well as style play an important role in setting the tone of the room.
