Have you gotten a bid from a contractor? Do you think it’s way too high? 🤬 Do you think it’s way too low? 👎🏼 DM your bid and some pictures of your project and I’ll be happy to help! One of my favorite parts of my job is to educate homeowners on how their home works and

What is your opinion on all drawer lowers? I think they’re a much better use of space, It keeps items from disappearing to the back of the cabinet, and it puts everything right at your fingertips when you open the drawer. What do you think?

Homeowner spec’d everything herself! How do you think she did? She decided to add heated floors at the last minute which gave us the opportunity to do this curbless entry shower. We have a slight angle up on the bathroom tile to meet the pan height but I think it came out…

A lot of designers and contractors will place the controls and the components in a vertical line. I ALWAYS recommend to my clients to offset the controls when using a slide bar with a handheld. It may look a little less traditional, but I’ve never had a client ask me to fix it!
