Featured Project: Two Bathroom Renovations and a Kitchen Floor Installation in Durham, NH

·

When Kim and her husband, Greg, bought their house in Durham, NH, they were excited about the potential it held—except for the bathrooms!

Kim vividly recalls her first visit to the house, guided by their realtor. The moment she stepped into the bathrooms, she was ready to walk right out! The primary bathroom was so uninviting that she couldn’t even look inside!

The other bathroom, while bearable, was adorned with a hideous Caribbean theme, complete with aqua-colored walls and seashell border wallpaper! It was clear that these spaces needed significant changes to make the house feel like home!

Tag along as we discuss the ideas Kim had for her space, the remodeling process that brought them to life, the unforeseen issues that added stress and delays, and the final transformation that made it all worthwhile!
