Smallest Jobs Are Often The Sweetest

Ann Huff, ASID, senior designer at DCG had the opportunity to pull off yet another remodeling project with an eye to the functional necessities and the aesthetics qualities.  In this recent bathroom remodel for a returning client, she had the opportunity to work thru challenges like leaky windows, outdated plumbing fixtures and poorly designed cabinetry in this Palm Beach Gardens, FL residence. ”The clients were great and despite the challenges, we worked as a team to solve the problems,… which included having to replace windows just to keep the weather and the elements at bay.”  Here is a “before” picture that shows the formica cabinets, cultured marble tops and your builder basic shower and shower door enclosure.

“The bathrooms and kitchen are often one of most important things that buyers consider when contemplating the purchase of an existing home,”  Ann Huff reported.  ”And since remodeling a bathroom returns about 80% of its value at the time of resale, it is money well spent to renovate these areas as they return a greater value in your real estate than most anything else you can do to the interior.”

As you can see from the photograph below, the foot print didn’t change much but the functional qualities and the eye-catching appeal were greatly enhanced.  With new cabinetry, counters, plumbing fixtures and an accessible entry to the shower, this bathroom is ready for another decade of use.
