Badger Creek Ranch – Tetonia, Idaho This custom home in Tetonia, Idaho was designed and built as a refined mountain retreat, balancing rugged materials with clean architectural lines and long-term performance in a demanding four-season climate. Spanning over 5,000 square feet, the home sits within the open landscape of Teton Valley and was thoughtfully positioned to capture natural light and surrounding views. The exterior combines reclaimed barnwood siding, natural stone, and black standing seam metal roofing, creating a palette that feels grounded in the environment while still distinctly modern. Inside, the home is anchored by a custom white oak and steel staircase, acting as both a structural and visual centerpiece. Exposed timber beams, level 5 smooth walls, and wide-plank white oak flooring bring warmth and contrast to the interior, while maintaining a clean, cohesive design throughout. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace built from natural Windy Ridge stone adds scale and texture to the main living space. The kitchen was designed for both function and presence, featuring granite countertops, a full Thermador appliance suite, dual wine storage, and a hidden pantry. The primary suite and guest bathrooms were built as private, spa-like spaces, complete with radiant floor heating, a freestanding soaking tub, and a steam and rain shower system. Throughout the home, integrated smart lighting and energy-efficient systems enhance comfort and usability without compromising the design. Beyond aesthetics, the project required extensive site and structural work, including over 120 feet of boulder retaining walls and a fully integrated drainage system. These elements were critical to ensuring long-term durability and stability given the terrain and climate. This project reflects Night Shift Construction’s approach to building in the Tetons: every detail considered, every system intentional, and every home built to perform as well as it looks.

Our team at DJ's Home Improvements is proud to present a beautifully designed universal bathroom that seamlessly blends functionality with style. This project, completed on a tight schedule for a long-term client, was thoughtfully executed while their parents were away on vacation. Key features of this bathroom include a barrier-free shower, ensuring accessibility and ease of use for all. The shower is equipped with a Moen Hand Shower and a Matte Black Kohler Purist Shower System, providing both luxury and practicality. Safety and convenience are further enhanced with strategically placed grab bars. A Castia by Kohler 20x30 pivoting mirror adds a modern touch, while the Fabuwood Corner Tall Wall Cabinet in Galaxy Frost offers ample storage space with a sleek design. The bathroom also features a Schluter Shower Floor & Drain system, ensuring efficient water management and durability. The Kohler Pinor 18" sink with a shroud, paired with a Matte Black Kohler Venza faucet, adds to the bathroom’s sophisticated aesthetic. This bathroom renovation not only meets the immediate needs of accessibility but also promises long-term satisfaction with its stylish and high-quality finishes.

Real estate investors looking for growth opportunities in 2026 are increasingly paying attention to Magnolia, Texas. Once known as a quieter alternative to nearby communities like The Woodlands and Tomball, Magnolia has become one of the more attractive areas in the Greater Houston region for buyers, renters, and long-term investors. Magnolia offers a strong combination of relative affordability, suburban lifestyle appeal, new development, rental demand, and proximity to Houston. For investors seeking long-term appreciation and income potential, this northwest Houston-area market continues to stand out.

This couple's long-term water leak left their downstairs guest bathroom in disarray. It had gotten so bad that the toilet would actually rock due to the sub-floor deterioration. After the remodel, this small but mighty bathroom leaves a memorable impression on its guests, primarily because of its efficient footprint and bold use of color. This project became necessary after a long- term water leak left the floor tile broken and the subfloor deteriorating.
Once underway, we set out to determine what other problems we could help solve in this guest bathroom. We explored several different floorplans for this space, but we ultimately decided that the general location of the fixtures worked well for these homeowners. One of the primary concerns was to determine how we could include as much vanity storage as possible. Their old vanity included a shallow section next to the toilet, but it only had two shallow top drawers, making the bulk of the storage awkward and hard to access. Although they liked the size of their old shower stall, the plastic insert was corroding. They also didn't have anywhere to place their shower products, and there was no place to hang a towel. We opted for a tiled shower and included a shampoo niche for their bath products. We also included a horizontal shower door handle, which doubles as a towel bar.

This Solana Beach bathroom was completely transformed from an outdated tub and shower into a modern, functional walk-in shower designed for everyday comfort and lasting durability. The project began with a full demolition, followed by plumbing updates, electrical improvements, waterproofing, cement board installation, and a custom mortar shower pan. Every step was completed with a focus on long-term performance before the finish materials were installed. The new shower features large-format Calacatta-look porcelain tile, a custom recessed niche with matte black trim, matte black plumbing fixtures, frameless sliding glass doors, and a hexagon porcelain mosaic shower floor. Outside the shower, we installed a new double vanity with a quartz countertop, undermount sinks, updated mirrors, modern lighting, luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, and new accessories to complete the space. To help the homeowner visualize the project before construction, we first created 3D renderings and then brought that vision to life through careful planning and craftsmanship. At MA Properties Construction, we believe beautiful bathrooms begin with proper preparation. That's why every remodel is built with quality waterproofing, attention to detail, and materials selected for long-term performance. If you're considering a bathroom remodel in Solana Beach, Del Mar, Encinitas, or anywhere in North County San Diego, we'd be happy to help you transform your space.

When these longtime clients traded the bustle of Portland for a quieter neighborhood in Lake Oswego, they found a home they loved almost immediately. But while the rest of the house reflected the warm, welcoming environment they envisioned for this next chapter, one space remained firmly rooted in another era: the primary bathroom. Dark tile, a cramped shower, and a dated tub deck left the room feeling heavy and disconnected from the calming retreat the homeowners hoped to create. Their vision was simple but meaningful: a bright, spa-inspired bathroom designed for comfort, relaxation, and sharing the space together. At the heart of the transformation is a thoughtfully designed wet room that combines the shower and soaking tub into one seamless experience. By removing the enclosed shower and replacing it with clear sightlines and an open, curbless design, the room immediately feels larger, brighter, and more connected to the natural light streaming through the window. The result is a space that balances luxury and accessibility while creating the serene atmosphere the homeowners were seeking. The project's greatest design challenge arrived before construction even began. The homeowners dreamed of a soaking tub large enough for two, but a winding staircase with tight corners made transporting a traditional oversized tub nearly impossible. Through careful planning and product selection, the team identified an elegant oval soaking tub that delivered the depth and comfort they wanted while successfully navigating the home's challenging access conditions. What makes this wet room particularly special is the attention given to how the homeowners actually use the space. The freestanding tub is positioned beneath a custom ledge featuring a wall-mounted tub filler, creating a convenient surface for candles, beverages, books, or a laptop for movie nights. The faucet placement was carefully considered to keep the interior of the tub open and comfortable, allowing the homeowners to sit face-to-face and enjoy the experience together. Throughout the space, material selections were chosen to amplify light and create a timeless sense of calm. Large-format porcelain tile with soft gray marble veining wraps the floors and shower walls, while a custom blue herringbone feature wall introduces subtle color and texture without overwhelming the room's airy aesthetic. Chrome plumbing fixtures reflect natural light throughout the space, enhancing the clean, spa-like atmosphere. Custom cabinetry allowed every inch of the vanity to work harder. In addition to generous storage and double sinks, a specialized vanity organizer was incorporated to store a hair dryer and styling tools out of sight while keeping them plugged in and ready to use. It's a small detail that streamlines everyday routines while reducing countertop clutter. Quartz countertops provide a durable, low-maintenance surface, while integrated toe-kick lighting creates a soft nighttime glow that serves as both an accent feature and practical nightlight. Comfort was a major priority throughout the design process. Heated tile floors and heated towel bars transform everyday routines into small moments of luxury, while a bidet toilet seat adds a layer of convenience and comfort the homeowners now consider indispensable. Beyond aesthetics, the bathroom was designed with long-term usability in mind. The curbless shower improves accessibility while preserving the sophisticated visual flow of the wet room. A hand shower mounted on a slide bar doubles as a grab bar, providing future aging-in-place benefits without compromising the room's refined appearance. It has also become one of the homeowners' favorite features for an entirely different reason: a remarkably convenient dog-washing station. Preserving natural light was equally important. The original wood window was replaced with a moisture-resistant vinyl casement window, ensuring long-term durability while maintaining the bright connection to the outdoors that helps define the room's character. Combined with the open shower design, the window allows daylight to travel throughout the entire space, making the bathroom feel both expansive and inviting. Perhaps the greatest testament to the success of the project came from the homeowners themselves: "I didn't have the skills to dream up this design. You did. Thank you."

This master bathroom remodel in Reston was designed around a fully custom steam shower, creating a clean and comfortable space with a spa-like feel. The shower area was completely reworked by removing one of the existing walls and opening up the layout. We installed a frameless glass enclosure that runs to the ceiling, which is essential for proper steam retention while also making the space feel more open. Inside the shower, the entire enclosure was tiled from floor to ceiling, including the ceiling itself. This is an important detail for steam showers, along with proper waterproofing behind the tile to ensure long-term performance. To improve functionality, we added a built-in bench with a quartz top, along with two recessed niches for storage. The shower floor features a hexagon mosaic tile, which adds texture and provides better grip. The material selection throughout the bathroom was kept clean and consistent. We used MSI Eden Dolomite tile in both polished and matte finishes, paired with a Bianco Dolomite accent tile on the plumbing wall and inside the niches. The vanity area features Fabuwood Galaxy Indigo cabinets, combined with a Frost White quartz countertop and matte black hardware. This contrast helps define the space while keeping the overall look balanced. Additional updates included new recessed lighting with dimmers, updated electrical and plumbing work, and a fresh coat of paint throughout the bathroom and closet. The final result is a modern master bathroom centered around a fully functional steam shower, designed for both everyday use and long-term durability.

The Lorraine Modern Residence is a fully integrated front and backyard project designed and built by The Northstone Group, the #1 landscape architecture, design-build, and custom pool construction firm in Montreal. This contemporary modern home required a landscape approach that matched its architectural clarity while delivering long-term performance, precision detailing, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Every element of the project was designed and executed in-house by The Northstone Group’s team of landscape architects, builders, and pool specialists. The backyard is anchored by a custom concrete pool, designed and built by Northstone’s in-house pool construction team. The pool features a beach entry for ease of use and resort-level comfort, as well as a refined waterfall edge that creates a clean visual transition between the water and surrounding landscape. These elements were engineered for durability, safety, and long-term performance, not just aesthetics. The hardscape throughout the project includes architectural pavers selected to complement the home’s modern lines and neutral palette. These materials extend from the backyard into a custom paver driveway, creating a cohesive arrival experience and reinforcing the architectural language of the residence from the street. Custom-built architectural planters were integrated into both the front and backyard to frame views, define circulation, and soften the hardscape while maintaining a contemporary, minimal aesthetic. Planting was intentionally restrained and structured, chosen to complement the modern architecture and perform reliably in Quebec’s climate. An outdoor kitchen completes the backyard living space, positioned to support entertaining while preserving clean sightlines across the pool and landscape. The overall layout was designed to maximize usability, flow, and visual balance, ensuring the space functions as a true extension of the home. With over 25 years of experience and a team of 180+ in-house professionals, The Northstone Group delivers landscape architecture, design-build services, and custom concrete pool construction under one roof. This integrated approach allows for precise coordination, consistent quality, and full accountability from concept through completion. Projects like the Lorraine Modern Residence reflect why luxury homeowners across Montreal trust The Northstone Group as the leading authority in contemporary landscape architecture and high-end outdoor construction.
