April Showers Bring May Flowers...

and Sometimes leaky roofs.  We had a pretty harsh winter here in the lowcountry - Below freezing quite a few nights.  When it freezes sometimes that can create cracks in your roofing membrane (depending on what type of roof you have)  Now is the time to be on the look out for leaks coming in.  If you do have leaks call and let us know.  There are some amazing new products out for leak repair.  

We're currently wrapping up some really great projects - one being a pretty major Master Bathroom Renovation (we took a pretty boring run of the mill bathroom, and turned it into a very modern, clean, New York with a Charleston Twist Master Bathroom)  We are getting ready to start a kitchen renovation that is going to be NIGHT and DAY.  We're taking a very Dated 1980's Bachelors Kitchen and turning it into a Classic Modern Kitchen with some amazing Cabinetry, tile work, and a beautiful new Quartz countertop.  Pictures of those projects to come soon.

Here are some Before & After photos of a small Hall Bath we remodeled during a whole house restoration...

This is a very small hall bathroom Downtown Charleston.   The entire bathroom measures about 6 feet wide by 7 feet deep.  Before the renovation there was a very large and unsightly light and vent fan in the ceiling as well as a very cramped (18inch) vanity area for guests to get ready for the day.

You can tell just how small this bathroom is in this picture - we were literally IN the tub trying to get a picture of the space.

In this small bathroom there was a very large cabinet that took up a lot of space and caused not only the vanity area to feel cramped, but the tub as well.

How would you like a window this size in your shower?  If those shutters flew open you'd have to wave at the neighbors.  Also - in this application there was no way to keep water from rotting out this wooden window.

As you can see we closed in the window for privacy.  All of the tile work in this bathroom is marble available at Ann Sacks. We used a 3x4 subway tile for the field and a mosaic accent strip bordered with matching pencil tiles at the top and bottom.  We also used a marble chair rail to finish the field tile surrounding the shower and water closet area, and matching marble base throughout the bathroom.  The vessel bowl is cast out of white bronze, and is sitting on a custom open shelf vanity.  The wall mounted lavatory and shower valves are only available through Hansgrohe International.  The leather wrapped medicine cabinet is a Robern.  This bathroom was designed to feel like the inside of a jewel box.
