BATHROOM REMODEL IDEAS

In my house growing up, we had a half bathroom. My mother would change the decor every 5 years or so.  I remember one time it had wall paper that looked like a forest and another time she painted the walls deep red and used black towels and rugs for accent.

Looking back, I believe that this bathroom was her creative outlet that she could redecorate at minimal cost and without my dad's input.

Today, I love putting bold prints or colors in small spaces - "Thanks Mom".  Here are some ideas I found for a half bath ideas.

Wainscoting does not have to be white.  Love the grey and bold wallpaper.

  This wall paper seems to shimmer - bold but calming

                        Hot pink and black - Why Not

                  Here is a more masculine style bath

  I think of a cottage with this green inspired bathroom. 
                          Love the detail on the mirror  

 You can put a bathroom anywhere as long as you have
   a water hook-up.  Great black and white design with
                                  warm wood floor.

Small spaces give you a chance to experiment with color and pattern without a huge commitment (because they are small).  Look at your home and see where you can redesign a space and get out of your comfort zone.

KITCHEN REMODEL - SOUTH ROCKWOOD

In this kitchen, cabinetry was mixed light and dark.  This created interest that would otherwise be too "light" or too "dark".  White kitchens have been the norm for some time, but it is time to bring back the stained cabinets.  The counters are also two different colors.  Kitchens do not have to be "matchy-matchy".  Go ahead and mix it up.

Ann Arbor Kitchen

Our client did not want a full kitchen remodel, but she did want to change the layout of her space.  She currently had light maple cabinetry and instead of trying to match; we installed Merillat dark maple cabinetry.    We created a pantry with cabinetry and dressed it up by putting glass doors on the top.  A pennisula was taken out and installed an island with a butcher block counter.  New wood flooring and interior doors were installed through out the home along with painting all rooms.

No major construction was done, but when all was completed, she had a "new" home.
