This was the home's master bedroom. It was quite small, but I was excited that this 100-year-old home had a master bath at all! The entire thing was blue. We yanked the old blue floor tiles and replaced them with this mosaic Carrara marble tile. As for the tile surrounding the tub and shower, we had it sprayed white, since it was in good condition. This cost about $300. A pedestal sink and medicine cabinet were added, as well as a cute, small chandelier and beadboard. The skylight above the bathtub provided natural light and helped to open up this small space. Photo By Bona Properties, LLC

The boulevard receives about 26 hours of sun a day in the summer. The lawn looked unhealthy and was awkward to water because this area has a lot of foot traffic. We traded tough plants for the lawn. Some plants were stepped on, used as watering posts by dogs, and stolen. The remaining plants are worthy of being called tough: Caryopteris, Podocarpus 'Red Tip,' Physocarpus 'Diablo,' Lavender, Berberis, Callicarpa, and Rudbeckia. We discovered a good trick is to plant perennials at the end of the season when they are not so attractive. They then have all winter and spring to root before they look their best in the summer. By then, their roots have grown strong, and they are not so easily yanked out of the ground by folks who find the plants are irresistible.

One of the innovative features we love in this bathroom remodeling project is the U-shaped pull-out drawer that sleeves around the sink base. Instead of yanking on the handle of a dummy drawer that doesn’t open (a common feature in bathrooms), the family has additional custom space for their toiletries. Furthermore, we developed a system for the sink plumbing to recess into the wall. This eliminated unsightly plumbing under the sink and allowed us to utilize the space for drawers instead of less-efficient cabinets. There’s always space to be found somewhere!
