Back Yard Patio

A past client of ours wanted a back patio for her home.  Although most of our work is in the interior of the home, MHI Interiors was up for the challenge. 

1st Challenge - Access patio from inside home. 
Solution:  The room had an existing window, we cut a hole for a new Pella Doorwall in a room used as an office.
2nd Challenge - Client wanted a stone look, but did not want pavers.
Solution:  We used colored, textured stamped concrete.  A pattern was made at the base of the patio to simulate brick paver.
3rd Challenge: Client wanted a hot tub at same level of patio. 
Solution:  We framed the area along with concrete footings.  The hot tub has easy access from the patio.
4th Challenge - Shade was needed.
Solution: Designed and constructed a Cedar Pergola.

The final product gave our client an extension to her living space.

Bathroom Remodel

EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SMALLER BATHROOM, WE WERE ABLE TO PUT SOME NICE FEATURES IN IT. 
OLYMPIA TILE - 12" X 12" MILLE RICHE IN BROWN WAS INSTALLED ON THE FLOORS

THE VANITY IS MERILLAT MASTERPIECE CABINETRY - GALLINA STYLE IN MAPLE WITH MUSHROOM AND COCOA GLAZE FINISH. WE ADDED FEET TO THE BOTTOM TO GIVE IT THE LOOK OF A PIECE OF FURNITURE. THE COUNTER IS CAMBRIA QUARTZ - COLOR BLACKWOOD. USING A SQUARE SINK FROM KOHLER COMPLETES THE LOOK.

IN THE SHOWER, WE USUALLY PUT IN NICHES.  THEY BREAK-UP THE WALL AND ARE CONVENIENT FOR THE HOMEOWNER.
THE WALL TILE IS OLYMPIA TROPICAL GRASS TILE IN 12" X 24" AND 6" X 24" PIECES - COLOR TAUPE. THE SHOWER FLOOR IS ISLAND STONE PEBBLE SERIES.

DELTA LAHARA SERIES SHOWER FIXTURES INSTALLED. 

THE HOMEOWNER HAD A CHANDELIER LIGHT FIXTURE, BUT THE CEILING HEIGHT WAS TOO LOW. WE CUT A OPENING TO RAISE PART OF THE CEILING AND RE-DRYWALLED THE AREA.  CHANGED THE OLD WINDOW TO A PELLA AWNING STYLE WINDOW WITH OBSCURED GLASS.

Canton Bathroom Renovation

The homeowners wanted a "Serene" bathroom and we accomplished this using mainly white materials but with the wood cabinetry this bathroom still has a "warm" feeling. 

 To extend the counter to the wall and not have it interfere with the window, we created a "make-up" area using a wall cabinet as a base, lowered the counter and did not make it as deep.  The toilet area was dark; therefore, we put and opening in the wall and added glass shelves.  This keeps some privacy but lets in the natural light.

We updated this bathroom with "Merillat" Cabinets - Style: Portrait, Wood: Maple, Finish: Sable.  The panels around the soaking tub were built to match the style and color of the cabinetry.  The counters are "Cambria" Quartz in Torquay with "Delta" and "Kohler" plumbing fixtures.  We also installed "Olympia"  12" x 24" Tropical Grass tile on floor in a brick step pattern on the main floor and used three different of neutral tiles in the shower to give interest.

Basement Remodel

MHI Interiors remodeled this Taylor Basement.  The entire basement was framed and drywalled.  USG 2' x 4' ceiling tiles - Radar Series were installed, Sherwin Williams paint was used throughout the space.  A half bath was installed using Merillat Cabinetry for the vanity, Marbelite top for the counter along with Delta faucet and Kohler toilet.  A snack bar was added between columns and we curved the drywall for a more interesting look.  The end result gave the homeowners a space that the entire family can use.

Bathroom Design

It is a New Year and time to update your home.  Kohler has introduced a new glass sink - "Whist" glass lavatory.  This is an undermount sink that comes in blue, green, or brown tones and has a slight "ripple" texture.  List price is about $300.00.


Install this sink in your bathroom with either a glass countertop - Think Glass is a great resource for ideas or Corian has and Illumination Series of material that would give a distinct look to your bathroom.
Happy New Year - Never Look Back ALWAYS Look Forward.
