The Serene Azure Bathroom project was in a home built in 2001 in Corinth, TX. Our clients liked the layout of their bathroom, but wanted to transform the "builder-grade" space into something more unique and spa-like.
Welcome to Part III of our Irwin Farmhouse before and after! If you haven’t seen Part I (kitchen, living room, sunroom and laundry room) and Part II (hall bath, guest room and kids' rooms) be sure to check those out! We shared our vision for the whole house and the scope of our renovation in Part I, and this blog is the conclusion to the renovation story.
Over the years and through all kinds of projects, we've collected some favorite details that just seem to finish the job well. We pride ourselves in regularly paying attention to details in all projects. They are just as important to the overall finish of a space as the big items, and we believe they are often the little touches that enhance functionality for the client. Some of these details were our idea, some were requested by our clients, but all made a difference in their respective spaces. Here are our favorite details - bathroom edition!
The Little Chapel Bathroom project was in a home in a well-established Denton neighborhood. It had been renovated in the past, but the style did not flow well with what our client had done in the rest of her home. This guest bathroom was small, but backed up to a seldom-used closet in the entry. Our goals for the project were to reconfigure the bathroom layout to extend into the unused closet and update the entire space with tile and paint.
The Coach's Quarters farmhouse style renovation project took place at a home on a beautiful tree-filled lot in a rural neighborhood. Our clients had been in the house for years and had completed projects before, but were ready to overhaul the kitchen, living room and master bathroom to update the main floor to a more current style.
This project was especially exciting as it was our own master bathroom! While the room had great bones, the design was decades out of date (cultured marble and seashell sinks!). The tiled wall enclosing the tub/shower cut the room in half, making it feel small and cramped. The vaulted ceiling added great interest, but the design didn't utilize its potential as a feature in the room. We had ample counter space on the long vanity, but cabinet storage was lacking due to the outdated vanity cutout. While we appreciated the closet storage space, the old sliding door had been removed and the curtain separating the closet from the bathroom made the transition feel cluttered.
The Honey House was built in the late 1990's and is located in a prominent Denton neighborhood. The house had great bones and was in excellent condition, but our clients wanted a more open layout for hosting their growing family and friends and a more updated feel. The goal was to transform the home's traditional look (heavy with dark wood) to a lighter, airier farmhouse style. The family welcomed two new grandchildren in the past several months and Honey is our client's "grandma name", so "Honey's House" became The Honey House.
When we first saw the property we would come to call “The Redemption House,” it was uninhabitable. Built in 1916, it had been added onto more than once, yet the latest work seemed to have been in the 1970s. While it was in a coveted historical area in Denton, it had been vacant for quite a while and was badly overgrown and neglected.
