through ample seating and counter space. The now totally reconfigured kitchen has
more counter and cabinet space. Remember that your kitchen is likely going to be the
center of the home, and that it’s a huge selling feature when and if you want to sell the
property. Part of a successful, affordable remodel is knowing where to splurge and
where to save. Using more of the budget on the kitchen and master bath is a smart
idea. Though the cabinetry is entry level, we were able to pair it with more luxurious
items like beautiful lighting and an elegant glass tile backsplash. The balance of pairing high end with
thrifty options creates a cohesive, finished look that would fool even the most discerning eye.
In the master bath, the original layout had an awkwardly situated built-in linen closet and a wall dividing
the vanity from the rest of the room which blocked site lines and natural light making the bathroom dark.
The goal was to maximize the space, add storage, and make the room more functional. The linen closet
and wall were removed as were the old tub and shower, making room for one spacious shower with
beautiful tile details. We also installed new and larger counters, replaced the cabinets, and added lighting
to unveil a modern master bath. Again, the materials chosen are cost effective, but that doesn’t mean
they don’t make a fantastic visual impact when you walk into the updated room. The bathroom now feels
open, light, and very current. We were even able to create a Zen area by the shower with a bench as well
as a niche for towels & toiletries. Niches are a great way to maximize space when working in smaller
bathrooms. With a clever eye and a dedicated team, it is possible to create a custom and expensive
looking remodel on a small budget.
