B&P Bath#1 2012 — Brushed nickel and chrome are the most common finishes found in modern homes.

B&P Bath#3 2012 — Rectangular tile is becoming very popular in bathrooms. This picture shows ‘straight set’ (white tiles) and ‘subway style’ (accent tiles).

B&P Bath#2 2012 — A small soap cubby installed at knee level takes the place of a large shower bench, and can be used to shave legs.

B&R Bath #1_1 — A contemporary square bathroom faucet with waterfall spout complements the lines of this vessel sink.

B&R Bath #2_1 — Contrary to popular belief, a large floor and wall tile in a very small space often makes the room look bigger. The color and layout of the tile also play a part in creating the desired optical illusion.

B&R Bath #3_1 — The size of the tile for the shower surround has been reduced, but the style and the layout remain the same.

G&T bath #1 — We were able to save this original stained glass window, and move it from inside the shower to its current location.

G&T Bath#2 — In order to maintain the “Old Portland” style the client selected a marble countertop and backsplash. The wall-mounted faucet allows for a larger sink.

G&T Bath #3 — Clean and simple subway tile.

M G Bathroom 2011

MG Bath #1 — This contemporary shower features glass subway tile throughout. Although most glass tiles have a white backing, it is important to use the proper color thinset to avoid noticing imperfections through the glass. We selected white grout and a white thinset behind this tile to achieve the effect desired.

MG Bath#2 — The original tub was left in place. Marmoleum flooring, wood baseboard, and a modern vent cover complete the job.

MG Bath#3 — On the opposite corner of the bathroom is an inset medicine cabinet and a one-piece countertop with integral sink. Notice that the mirror is perfectly centered with the faucet and the light fixture.

DR Kitchen #1 — These containers mounted under a cabinet will hold flour, sugar, coffee, salt, and more: just another great space-saving idea.

DR Kitchen #2 — This modern kitchen called for a detailed backsplash. A mosaic marble-mix tile, and glass subway tile was used.

DR kitchen #3 — Making the best use of every inch of wall space, while decorating the kitchen.
