Oswego Bathroom Renovation

We just recently wrapped up a bathroom remodel in Oswego.  The picture to the right is a before shot I took on the day we started.  The bathroom is very small (only 4′ x 10′) but it still has a full shower, vanity and toilet.  We also managed to find space for a utility cabinet next to the toilet when it was done.  The new shower is a combination of slate and porcelain tiles.  The shelves in the shower are made of solid slate – really cool.  The shower has a custom base to best use the space available.   The shower door is a frame-less glass door using glue chip glass to give some privacy to the shower.  The new vanity is from Fieldstone Cabinetry and is made of cherry.  It was customized to make it shallower than a standard vanity to increase the floor space of the room.  The countertop and the shower threshold are a variety of granite that closely resembles soapstone.  The sink is stainless steel.  All the plumbing fixtures are from Kohler.

Overall, we were able to pack a lot of function into a very small room.

Interior Renovation Will Create A Slice of Heaven in St. Charles

If this was the view out your back window you would never want to leave!  Well that’s exactly the attitude of the homeowners on our newest project in St. Charles.  They have a beautifully secluded piece of property and they don’t want to give it up.  Unfortunately, the house, built in the 50’s, doesn’t fit the dream. Therefore, they have hired Crimson to give all the bedrooms and bathrooms in the house a major overhaul.  Over 1000 square feet of the house will get a face lift to make better use of space.  One of the bathrooms will be a new luxurious master bathroom complete with walk-in shower.  Additionally, the master bedroom will get a new walk-in closet and a large sitting room with a view through a newly installed twelve foot wide patio door.  What a great place it will be to sit and read on a spring or fall afteroon.

As you can see, everyone is hard at work demolishing the old.  With 1-1/2″ thick plaster walls in the two bathrooms that hasn’t been easy.  As you can see from the picture, the shower and tub would have made a great fallout shelter.  But after two full dumpsters (sent to Hoving for recycling) the old is out and it’s time to start building new.  This week the framing will be completed and the new rooms will take shape.

Watch for new updates as this project progresses.

Naperville Master Bathroom and Aurora Bathroom Renovations

Stephanie recently took some photos of a couple of projects that we just completed. The first photo is of a Master Bathroom in Naperville. We used a cherry cabinet from Fieldstone Cabinetry and Kohler fixtures.

This is the shower from the same bathroom. Stephanie selected all the tile and and the coordinating fixtures.

This is the bathroom in Aurora that we recently completed. Stephanie selected a multi-shaded green glass tile that is really cool and contemporary. Note the matching green cabinet knobs. The shelves in the shower are made of Corian for a sleek low profile look. Again, the cherry cabinet is from Fieldstone Cabinetry and the fixtures are Kohler.
