Background

When Joan & Marv moved into their home built in the 1950's the master bathroom had the original pink plumbing fixtures and gold flocked/foil wallpaper. When Joan called Renovation Design twenty years later the home still hadn't been updated. As much as Marv loved the pink shower tile, Joan convinced him that a little updating would be a good thing.

Experience

When we met with Joan she expressed a need for a master suite and a larger gathering/dining space that related better to her kitchen. She was willing to sacrifice a bedroom, but didn't know how all of the spaces would work together.

It soon became apparent that if the long hallway wall was eliminated, it would open up the feel and circulation of the whole home, and take better advantage of their fantastic view of the valley. Rather than a dark tunnel, the space became an extension of the newly created great room. This key design feature became the highlight of the project for Joan while also underscoring the creative approach to problem solving in design that was used.
