This is a utility room/ laundry room/ weird closet area/ additional rear entrance (the window shown used to be a door to the deck outside, not 5 feet from another door into the main living space. I replaced the other door with a 9 foot triple door- french doors with a full size side-light that I turned into another opening door- and replaced this door with the window shown.) The customer wanted to turn the area into a bathroom with stackable laundry. With the only parameters being ‘make a bathroom here” I was left to design and build a functioning bathroom in this space with room for laundry and separate the utilities.
I have separated out the pictures of the shower as well as the sink, because it was hard to photograph this small area. These are mostly pictures from the doorway of the entire bathroom, the pictures of specific areas will follow.
The tile scheme was chosen by me as well, and happily agreed upon by the customer.
These are double bi-fold louvered doors, behind which is the tankless water heater and radiant heating system – both of which I installed- and the water softener and filters.
I did not get a picture before I took the old island apart, but there had been a counter on top of this wall that was covered with 4″ maroon tiles and the customer wanted it made bigger and with a smooth top surface, also altered to accomodate the range and add a few outlets.
The whole thing was stained to not quite match, but compliment the existing wood in the house.
Once built, the customer decided to add drawers for storage of pots & pans and other stove-related utensils. These drawers had to be custom-built to fit the size and shape of the island, as well as suit the customers needs.
This staircase is in an historic schoolhouse that has been converted into a residence. The stairs were installed to access what used to be the attic of the school house, converted to 2 bedrooms. It was built without a railing and the couple who lived there had a toddler, so they hired me to install a railing to ensure his safety near the stairs.
This is an ongoing conversion of a storage area beneath a garage into a studio apartment. At this point, the apartment has been painted and is being finished. Scroll from the bottom of the page up to see the progress. (The pictures are in groups sorted by the direction the picture was taken, so you will see progression from one angle, then start over from a different angle)
