A serene walk-in shower anchors this Nob Hill bathroom remodel, wrapped floor to ceiling in handcrafted zellige-style subway tile in a soft, weathered grey that catches light differently with every glance. A sleek rain shower head pairs with a chrome handheld fixture, offering both everyday ease and a spa-like soak, while a built-in tiled niche keeps essentials tucked neatly out of view. Underfoot, small-format matte black tile grounds the space with quiet contrast against the tonal grey walls above. The overall effect is calm and understated luxury — a private retreat where texture and craftsmanship do the talking.

We tore down the walls between four rooms to create this great room in Villanova, PA. And what a difference it makes! This bright space is perfect for everyday living and entertaining family and friends as the kitchen, eating and living areas flow seamlessly. With red oak flooring throughout, we used white and light gray materials and crown moulding to give this large space a cohesive yet open feel. We added wainscoting to the steel post columns. Other projects in this house included installing red oak flooring throughout the first floor, refinishing the main staircase, building new stairs into the basement, installing new basement flooring and opening the basement rooms to create another entertainment area.

In the basement we added COREtec laminate wood flooring and again opened up a few rooms to create an open, bright entertainment area. We also whitewashed the brick around the fireplace and added new French doors to the outside. These new doors let in so much natural light that you don’t feel like you are in a basement at all!

Once a small enclosed kitchen, this spacious kitchen became absolutely amazing once we removed the wall between the kitchen and laundry room. Moving the laundry room to the second level allowed for two islands and appliances any family of five would love. The two requests my client had was to make their kitchen organized and family friendly. I created zones throughout the kitchen to make the ease of use much more efficient. The prep island with butcher block has all of the cooking essentials close by. The refrigerator and microwave were strategically placed so that the children may access at anytime, while others may continue cooking. The large island allows for plenty of seating on one side, storage for cookbooks on both ends and a baking station opposite of the seating. Separated from the everyday action is a wonderful bar area for the adults in the home. I designed the space to not only have separate zones with cabinetry, but also with lighting. Each space has specific lighting to improve on the tasks at hand. The butlers pantry was designed to give storage and counter space leading into the dining room. To add more function to the area, the top drawer has a built in charging station with enough space for all tablets and phones. This fun family of fives kitchen is not only beautiful to look at, but serves well the heart of the home!

The red oak flooring continues into the foyer. We refinished the wood on the staircase and stained the handrail to blend beautifully with the new flooring that now runs throughout the first floor.

This custom laundry room remodel in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania showcases a thoughtful balance of functionality, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Completed by Craftsworth Construction, this project was designed to transform an ordinary laundry space into a highly functional and visually striking room that complements the character of this Chester County home.
The design centers around custom green shaker cabinetry, creating a bold yet classic foundation for the room. The cabinetry provides extensive storage for household essentials while maintaining a clean, tailored look that fits beautifully within the home’s transitional style. Tall pantry-style cabinets maximize vertical storage, while built-in base cabinets and open shelving add both practicality and visual interest.
A standout feature of this Chadds Ford laundry room renovation is the full-height decorative patterned tile backsplash, which wraps the entire workspace. The intricate tile pattern introduces texture and warmth, pairing perfectly with the deep green cabinetry and adding a handcrafted aesthetic often seen in high-end homes throughout Chester County and the Main Line.
Durable quartz countertops provide generous folding and workspace areas while maintaining a bright, clean surface that contrasts elegantly with the cabinetry. The integrated sink with a warm copper faucet fixture adds a refined accent while also improving functionality for handwashing, stain treatment, and everyday utility.
This remodel also incorporates premium appliances, including a stainless steel washer and dryer along with a built-in beverage refrigerator that adds convenience and flexibility to the space. The beverage fridge is ideal for entertaining or keeping drinks accessible while working around the home.
The flooring continues the tile motif with a patterned porcelain tile floor, tying the entire design together while offering exceptional durability and easy maintenance. Recessed lighting throughout the room ensures the space remains bright and inviting, while under-cabinet lighting enhances both visibility and ambiance.
Designed with both beauty and efficiency in mind, this custom laundry room renovation in Chadds Ford PA demonstrates how thoughtful planning and quality craftsmanship can elevate even the most practical rooms in a home. From the custom cabinetry to the detailed tile work, every element was carefully selected to create a space that feels both luxurious and highly functional.
Craftsworth Construction specializes in high-end kitchen, bathroom, and interior remodeling projects throughout Chadds Ford, West Chester, Kennett Square, and the greater Chester County Pennsylvania area, delivering custom spaces that blend craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and lasting quality.

This kitchen project is the perfect example of Traditional style with a modern touch. The homeowners desired a kitchen that catered to their cooking passions and served as a central hub for family activities.
The choice of beaded shaker cupboards in Navy and Light Grey Slate provides a striking contrast that elevates the aesthetics of the space. The integration of Dekton Kairos worktops not only adds a touch of elegance but also ensures durability for everyday use.
The large central island, with an inbuilt hob, is the heart of this kitchen. It’s not just a cooking area; it’s a gathering spot for family and friends, perfect for socialising while preparing meals.
One of the standout features is the large double larder with a pull-out workspace, ingeniously designed to house essentials like a toaster and coffee machine. This clever use of space keeps the countertops clutter-free and enhances the kitchen's overall functionality.
The built-in wooden wine rack, with a capacity to store 16 bottles, adds an element of luxury to the space, making it ideal for wine enthusiasts and perfect for entertaining.
This kitchen transformation in Forest Hill is a testament to how thoughtful design can blend beauty and utility. The Navy and Light Grey Slate colour scheme, paired with functional features like the central island and bespoke storage solutions, creates an inviting and efficient space.

This primary bath and bedroom suite were reimagined as a serene retreat defined by calm, clarity, and quiet luxury. The design blends spa-like comfort with thoughtful function, creating a bright, minimal space where everything has its place. A freestanding soaking tub and steam shower anchor the bathroom, complemented by warm wood accents, marble countertops, and custom cabinetry that conceals storage for both everyday items and travel essentials. LED lighting, smart shower controls, and a ten-foot rolling mirror door add layers of innovation and beauty. The result is a tranquil, light-filled suite that feels restorative, refined, and effortlessly organized.

This master bathroom is a masterpiece of luxury and modern design, blending sophistication with functionality to create a space of unparalleled elegance. Anchoring the room is a stunning double vanity with custom cabinetry, finished in a crisp white tone that exudes timeless sophistication. The spacious quartz countertop features veining that adds a natural elegance, paired perfectly with brushed brass hardware and fixtures that bring a touch of opulence.
The centerpiece of the vanity area is the illuminated mirror, which casts a soft, ambient glow, enhancing the room's atmosphere and functionality. Integrated lighting ensures every detail is impeccably lit, making it as practical as it is beautiful. Adjacent to the vanity, a full-height storage cabinet provides ample space for towels, toiletries, and other essentials, seamlessly blending convenience with style.
The subtle yet luxurious large-format porcelain tiles extend across the floor, offering a cohesive, sleek foundation to the room. The brass accents found in the towel racks, door hardware, and shower frame tie the entire design together, elevating the space into a realm of contemporary luxury.
Every detail of this master bathroom has been thoughtfully designed, from the premium materials to the flawless finishes, creating a tranquil retreat that redefines modern elegance. This is a space where functionality meets high-end design, offering the ultimate indulgence in everyday living.

The final reveal of our Basswood Ave. Project! ✨
This client came to us after completing their daughter's home back in 2019. They purchased a model home that never truly felt like their home. Adorned with floor-to-ceiling wallpaper in several rooms, we knew there were some immediate updates that we needed to make.
In true HAUS Interiors, LLC fashion, we walked into our client's kitchen and asked, "how can we make this more functional for their everyday living?"
Our team got to work and...
✔️ Moved appliances around to create a better workflow
✔️ Introduced a great pantry cabinet in the kitchen, so our clients no longer had to walk down their hall for essential ingredients
✔️ Removed their old hand-honed wood flooring and tile throughout the main level and added a durable LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile).
✔️ Added plush carpet in upstairs bedrooms
This is now truly "their" home! ❤️

A skylight and window fill this en‑suite bathroom with soft, natural light. The marble‑tiled, glass‑enclosed shower‑tub combination pairs beauty with everyday practicality, while a built‑in niche keeps bathing essentials neatly organized.

Side table action
One of my must-haves in a bedroom is a side table or a night stand to some. Due to its essential use serving so many important purposes since the beginning of time, its a must that we choose the right table to fit in with our everyday lives. We have the option to dress it up with a very funky lamp or a simple desk light. You also can simply stack up some of your favorite novels and a fresh vase of flowers to liven things up as well.Here I oppted for a very modern and timeless night stand making sure that this area is a completely clutter free zone fully equipped with a handy protection crystal and some beautiful thrifted accessories to go along.
What’s on your night stand?
na·ma·ste - My soul honors your soul. I honor the love, light, beauty truth and kindness within you because it is also within me. In sharing these things there is no distance and no difference between us. We are the same, we are one.
