I've found some colors in my research but it always surprises me how different colors look from house to house and room to room. That's why most the house looked like the pictures below.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-stImT4Pwa9k/TbCMM4yU-UI/AAAAAAAADR0/O9Q_LJkatmo/s1600/IMG_2396.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-stImT4Pwa9k/TbCMM4yU-UI/AAAAAAAADR0/O9Q_LJkatmo/s400/IMG_2396.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598128489851320642" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d3q0JOh8jCs/TbCMMgLfF5I/AAAAAAAADRs/e7KtmOR5bVM/s1600/IMG_2395.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d3q0JOh8jCs/TbCMMgLfF5I/AAAAAAAADRs/e7KtmOR5bVM/s400/IMG_2395.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598128483245954962" style="cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 400px;" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jJRRWtY9plo/TbCbQTN9GAI/AAAAAAAADSM/ov9lV0olIg8/s1600/Picture%2B10.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 298px; height: 366px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jJRRWtY9plo/TbCbQTN9GAI/AAAAAAAADSM/ov9lV0olIg8/s400/Picture%2B10.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598145041160542210" border="0" /></a><br />Here's our inspiration picture for the family room.

It's a great contrast. Especially when you have the talented <a href="http://www.benjaminblackweldercabinetry.com/">Benjamin Blackwelder</a> making the vanity. We used hex tile in a couple places in this house. It has a early 1900's feel.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YpPsa2XUXAA/Ta1B1284vHI/AAAAAAAADQs/WfC_zWzgCxk/s1600/IMG_2386.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 428px; height: 315px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YpPsa2XUXAA/Ta1B1284vHI/AAAAAAAADQs/WfC_zWzgCxk/s400/IMG_2386.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597202305431157874" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jPJVhmbjvkw/Ta5jCDcJitI/AAAAAAAADRU/Pabgn5_c4k0/s1600/IMG_2312.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 235px; height: 315px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jPJVhmbjvkw/Ta5jCDcJitI/AAAAAAAADRU/Pabgn5_c4k0/s400/IMG_2312.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597520273802365650" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And nothing like a 1923 original clawfoot tub to compliment the other finishes for this bathroom. If you need one of these call Mike at the <a href="http://www.tubdoctor.net/">Tub Doctor</a>. He has 70+ of them and he can re-enamel them any color. If you're going to do a tub, it may as well look classy. And no, I'm not a fan of the space-wasting corner jetted tubs. They're so 2002.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YJdISsdbD5A/Ta1BqgATbLI/AAAAAAAADQc/lEBmHuagnMY/s1600/IMG_2381.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 431px; height: 321px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YJdISsdbD5A/Ta1BqgATbLI/AAAAAAAADQc/lEBmHuagnMY/s400/IMG_2381.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597202110292913330" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EExi3PHie1I/Ta5jCouLJ-I/AAAAAAAADRc/ViXgL3-se2g/s1600/IMG_2311.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 321px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EExi3PHie1I/Ta5jCouLJ-I/AAAAAAAADRc/ViXgL3-se2g/s400/IMG_2311.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597520283810080738" border="0" /></a><br />And this is the kids bathroom vanity, still needs drawers. We did a 1" white ceramic hex tile with a black inlay.

Plus the homeowners have put a lot of trust in me so I've been able to flex my "design muscles." It's been my 3rd baby because I've been able to design everything from the floor plan, architectural details, windows, trim details, and everything in between. So if it turns out terrible, it's my fault. But if it turns out awesome.... it's also my fault.<br /><br />Here's my design of the exterior...well some of the details are inconsistent. This is where I can try everything out first. I have literally buried my head in the cape cod/shingle style homes and am now a self-certified expert on their authentic design. I'm a fan of the cape cod look and will probably incorporate it into my own home...some day. I'll post some pictures of cape cod homes I'm using as inspiration. <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JEGQI5sGQc4/TTawxElRfsI/AAAAAAAADFs/2nzOKwgncpo/s1600/Dunn%2527s%2BRndrng.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 506px; height: 337px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JEGQI5sGQc4/TTawxElRfsI/AAAAAAAADFs/2nzOKwgncpo/s400/Dunn%2527s%2BRndrng.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563828746752982722" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And this is what the house looked like as you walk up the driveway.

They live on a beautiful piece of property and it was so great to watch this remodel transform their house into a home that blended beautifully with their surroundings and reflected their personal style. <br />
<br />
As you can see below we took some before pictures and then created a mock up of the vision that we had for their home. We love being able to show our clients what their home will look like before we actually start the work. It gets everyone involved so excited about the project!<br />
<br />
The Kitchen and living room turned out beautifully and have become such warm and inviting spaces for their family. The Nielsons were thrilled with the way it turned out and so are we! <br />

It's also helpful that our new house is like a blank canvas....literally. We bought the home from a bank who had sprayed the whole interior white before listing it for sale. They didn't leave anything unpainted, they even painted over cover plates...rookies.<br />

This picture was taken a couple years ago when the previous owners first tried to sell. The house lends itself to traditional colonial, so we'll play up those details as we remodel to give it more personality.<br />

We will be gutting the kitchen and enlarging it.<br />

These stairs will look much better when they are done in hardwood with a carpet runner. No offense shag carpet that raps around the treads, skirt board and everywhere else.<br />

So we're still in phase one if the remodel which is moving a couple walls, cutting a pass through in a wall, adding can and art lights, and painting. Next phase...hard wood floors and a new kitchen....hopefully soon.Allison Tiekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09363937295862228917noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055061238149944037.post-47761603372372054802009-10-05T20:20:00.000-07:002009-10-05T20:22:22.240-07:00Good Things Utah!Be sure to check out Steve on Good Things Utah.

This bathroom is my 2nd attempt at this type of bathroom with a less than $5,000 budget. I like this paint color a lot more than the green we put in our bathroom. This color is Silver Sage from Restoration Hardware.<br />
<br />
The bathroom started out as a standard master bath built in the 90's. It was small, had a worn out looking shower surround, linoleum, and a insignificant vanity.<br />
<br />
Initially, the homeowners wanted to put a tub in here. After marking it all out there just wasn't enough room to make it work comfortably. We kept the same layout but switched the vanity with the toilet, that way the vanity was on the side with more room. We also put in a bigger shower base and tiled the walls and floor. Lighting was key for this bathroom. The sconces add prestige and highlights the vanity space. The can light in the shower brightens up the space as it reflects off the white subway tile. These seemingly insignificant changes to the lighting is what really makes this bathroom seem larger and much more luxurious. We reused the original mirror. Almost any glass shop can cut holes in it for mounting sconces. Adding the sconces and holding the mirror off the wall a couple inches added some needed interest.<br />
<br />
The homeowner picked out the vanity from Costco. I think it was a good find, especially since they sold out in a couple weeks and there are none left in Utah. I was a little worried about it being a more antiqued piece with all the bright white tile and trim, but I think it works because it stands out more as a piece of furniture.<br />

As a reminder, here are the <a href="http://tiekbuilthomes.blogspot.com/2009/02/mold-problems.html"><span style="font-size: 130%;">befores</span></a> and it really was a disaster. Not only did it have a leak and mold was starting to show but it felt so small and awkward with the washer, dryer and tiny shower. And now we love it's layout and wish we had this bathroom and it wasn't just in our rental but still totally worth it.<br />
<br />
And if you're interested on what kind of price tag comes with a bathroom remodel like this (even with it's narley rough plumbing work) it is only around $5,000. If you only have so much to spend, you don't have to compromise style. For example, I found the vanity at Lowes for $200 and it included the sink and counter-top.<br />

They had problems with their shower pan leaking and ruining their wood floor and causing other internal damage, not to mention mold to growing.<br />
<br />
So one thing led to another, as it usually does, and we were tearing it all out and starting over. Just for the record, I really wasn't pushing for tearing it all out. We had some cheaper alternatives, but the homeowners saw it as an opportunity to change it up.<br />
<br />
This bathroom's unique blend of traditional and modern turned out awesome. We combined the natural elements of travertine stone, traditional cabinetry, and modern tiles and fixtures.<br />

Well, not my favorite movie but my favorite kitchen from the movie "Something Got to Give." Apparently, there are a lot of people obsessed with the home from this movie. Here is a picture of one of the many kitchens inspired from the movie set. <br />

The owner wanted to give her home a face lift so I started my usual thought process of drawing out what I thought would look good.<br />

However, I've found google sketch to be a much more effective way to show a homeowner how their home could look.<br />

Once we've painted and her new windows have been installed, I'll posted the final pictures.Allison Tiekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09363937295862228917noreply@blogger.com0
