Simple Kitchen Renovation, Bathroom Update and Flooring
There’s a trend now to make kitchens and bathrooms huge, but they needn’t be — after all, they’re also the most expensive to build. Opt for functionality over size, and working together with your contractor and doing some research, you can create a new updated look on a strict budget.
The Kitchen
We updated the kitchen cabinets and countertops, relocated the island creating a space that can be used as a snack counter by adding a couple of chairs or stools.
The floors
The floors were sanded and varnished throughout the dwelling. Refinishing to remove ground-in dirt while sanding out dents and dings can revive this highly visible portion of your interior decor.
The bathroom
In the bathroom we rearranged the layout, relocated the bathtub under the skylight and custom built a small closet for towels and other toiletries. We recommend buying a good toilet – recent appliances are quiet and use less water. In general, dual-flush models are a good option.
Our client was able to visit our supplier and chose her ceramic for the floor, bathtub walls and the kitchen back-splash.
It’s a good idea to spend on door hardware, light fixtures, and faucets. Items that get used daily need to be not only good-looking but durable.
