Traditional Treat
With all the transitional style crave out there, I decided to highlight the traditional theme this month. Nestled into the Pine Hills in Plymouth, this charming home was a pleasure to help create the traditional style that she longed for. The Pine Hills is a large community for a lot of people who want to retire and when it comes to their homes, it’s all about luxury and pampering. I still remember my client saying; “Boy Tim, you really captured the look rolling around in my head. It’s more than I could ever had imagined!” As a designer now in…
Bathroom Resort
I recently was asked to remodel a good friend’s bath. We had remodeled her kitchen years ago and she has been talking about her dream bathroom for most of the years after we completed her kitchen. So with that many years of yearning, she knew exactly what the bath was going to look like. The best part of my job is listening and helping our clients get what is in their head and onto paper as a plan that will drive the project forward. Most people know what they like but need our help to bring the ideas, materials and…
Downsizing Is A Tough Decision
So, it’s that time in your life where all the kids are gone and on they’re own. The beautiful home you bought to bring up your children, and have extensively remodeled over the last 10 years is too big for the two of you and too expensive to keep up and you are thinking about downsizing. I probably hear this at least two times every week from frustrated clients who struggle with the decision that it might be time to downsize. Making a life-changing decision like downsizing is hard to swallow for all of us baby boomers. Let’s face it,…

The Spa Bath
Over the years, the bathroom has evolved into a new revolution for size and a room to be pampered in. The days of our parents struggling for and in the one bath home are long gone. We never had a shower in the one bath home I grew up in. I remember getting up for school and going into the bathroom while my dad was in there getting ready for work. On some of the days, he would be taking a sponge bath while standing at the sink. I remember grimacing and saying; God dad, you’re killing me here. He…
Master Bath Pampering
The one room in the house that usually doesn’t get enough attention or creativity in a remodel is the master bath. All too often, 2 sinks are jammed into a 5 or 6 foot vanity with no creative thought. This was not the case with this months featured bath. Pine Hills is a beautiful development in the southern part of Plymouth off of exit 3 on route 3. Beautifully designed and manicured, Pine Hills is the ultimate spot to retire or fill in for that summer home. With multiple golf courses, its own fire department and a slew of stores and restaurants,…
Where Do I Start? Kitchen and Bath Remodeling 101
In life, one of the biggest thrills that we can experience is to be needed by another human being. I think that is where all mothers get their motivation from to put in the long hours that it takes caring for their children in those development years. I can tell you that it is the same in the work world. I get the best feeling when a client comes into our showroom with that “deer in the headlight” look and asks, “Where do I start?” These are the clients that I most definitely have the most fun with and in…
