Plymouth bungalow dormer

Interior view of a modern home with wood slat partitions, hardwood floors, and a small window letting in natural light.

These clients loved their home, and their walkable neighborhood, but having lived in the space for about 4 years, it became obvious to them that the thing lacking in their bungalow was second floor bathroom. Working with our architect, we had a plan drafted to meet their needs. By adding just under 300 square feet to their existing footprint, it allowed us to create 3 distinct spaces, a full bathroom, laundry area, and walk-in closet. We had the existing oak floors refinished, and used red oak in the new laundry room and closet for a seamless flow. The bathroom features porcelain tiles in the shower, with authentic, large-format terrazzo tiles on the floor. To minimize damage to the first-floor plaster ceilings, we utilized a split-unit system for their heating and cooling needs. We wrapped up the entire project in just over 6 months. A good time was had by all.

Bathrooms

Grandmont Rosedale Oasis

This upstairs bathroom was not cutting it. It was too small, and poorly re-done prior to our clients moving in. They had one goal, a big tub. They had a small, unusable bedroom next to the bathroom. Tearing down the wall, and making one large room, g

Bathroom with walk-in shower, teal tile wall, dark wood vanity with white marble countertop, mirror, toilet, and blue painted walls.

Bathroom with white brick shower wall, black fixtures, toilet, and adjacent room with wooden floor, white door, window, and ceiling light.

This upstairs bathroom was not cutting it. It was too small, and poorly re-done prior to our clients moving in. They had one goal, a big tub. They had a small, unusable bedroom next to the bathroom. Tearing down the wall, and making one large room, gave our clients the space they craved. Voila!

Grosse Pointe Farms Main Bath Refresh

Small modern bathroom with white subway tile shower, white toilet, white vanity with black hardware, black faucet, black light fixture, two wooden shelves, and black and white hexagon tile floor.

Small bathroom with a shower, a curtain, and a bathtub with tiles on the wall.

Our clients lived in this house long enough to know that their main floor bathroom did not work for them. They wanted to renovate on a smaller budget, so we determined the original tub could stay. Other than the tub, everything else in the 1940’s bathroom was demolished to make room for a sleek, new space for a growing family.

Awkward Primary Update

Small bathroom with white walls, black hexagon tile flooring, a white vanity with a sink and mirror above it, a large window, and a toilet near a shower area with a shower curtain rod.

Small bathroom with white walls, a small vanity with a sink, a toilet, a window with blinds, a wall-mounted light, and an empty built-in wall cabinet.

Initial feelings on this primary bathroom were “yuck.” They needed something functional, and the corner vanity was not cutting it. The bathroom also had an obtrusive door that made the space feel smaller. A pocket door was not an option, but we were able to put in a barn door that locks!

Highland Park Main Floor Bath

A room under renovation with an exposed wall, hardwood floor, and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The space has blue painter's tape outlining plumbing and electrical areas on the floor.

This 1915 craftsman had existed without a first floor bath for 108 years. Our client wants to age in his home, and we were invited in to help him plan for first floor living. Who says nothing is happening in Highland Park?

Flood in the ‘Burbs

This bathroom was part of a full-house renovation. During a deep freeze, the client's pipes burst and flooded the entire house. They contracted us to put it back together. This is the only full-bath in the home, so they wanted it to be functional for their growing family. They opted to convert the alcove tub into a shower.

60’s Ranch Bathroom Addition

A small bathroom with a wooden door, a vanity with a white countertop and sink, a round illuminated mirror, a modern faucet, some toiletries, and a dark blue rug on patterned tile flooring.

Empty shower with white tiled walls, wooden ceiling, and a small built-in shelf. There is a showerhead, a control handle, and a wooden bench inside.

Bathroom sink with a blue towel, decorative snowman clock, soap dispenser, mirror, and folded blue towels on a shelf.

While our clients love their house, they did not love living with a single bathroom. The only logical place to put a new one was in the basement. The clients like a nautical theme, so we fabricated a ceiling out of teak. Not only does it look great, it gives the owners access to their ceiling for when they are ready to renovate their upstairs bathroom.

Plymouth Primary Oasis

Modern bathroom with black tile flooring, wooden cabinets, a standalone bathtub, and decorative lighting fixtures.

Bathroom vanity with wooden cabinets, a mirror, yellow faucet, and two pendant lights overhead.

Empty bathroom with green walls, a large mirror above a wooden vanity with a sink, plumbing tools, an open closet, and a shower area in the background.

The owners wanted to get rid of their builder-grade bathroom. Challenge accepted. This bathroom features 2 custom walnut medicine cabinets, as well as a walnut screen separating the toilet from the rest of the space. The owners also said the space was very cold. Once our demo was complete, we figured out that the heat duct was not connected to their bathroom. They did not want to tear out their ceilings to repair this, so a heated flooring system was installed under the tile.

cohesive mid-century upgrade

A bathroom with a walk-in shower, toilet, wooden cabinet with a black countertop, a large mirror, and towel racks on the wall, with light green walls and a textured gray floor.

These clients have spent 45 years with their original bathroom. They loved the mid-century look, but wanted to add a new tub. We looked at many options, but in the end, a full demo was necessary. Client wanted the bathroom to feel like their original bathroom, only elegant and updated. Removing the original 1/2 wall and installing a custom screen, gave us additional space AND kept the original vibe of the bathroom.

A small bathroom with a white toilet, black hexagonal floor tiles, a shower with a glass door, dark blue walls, two woven baskets with rolled towels on a wall-mounted shelf, two white towels hanging below, and a ceiling vent with blue light.

32 square feet was all that this client had available. We were able create a custom vanity that gave the space some elegance, even if it meant moving the toilet flange over just 6” to accommodate the vanity drawers opening to full depth. Adding new mechanicals, dramatic paint and lighting elevates this primary bath. It is still only 32 square feet, but now it is functional for 21st century living.

dual-purpose lower level

This lower level laundry room had enough space to add a full bathroom. We added a stackable washer/dryer to gather space for the shower. This also gave us space for tile shower, new cabinetry, large vanity, and LED mirror.

This primary bath contained a tub that was never used by the current owners. They showered in a 30”x30” shower stall. Their dream was to get rid of the tub, and replace with a large, shower stall. We were able to turn the old shower stall into a much needed closet with custom doors. We finished the new shower space with a single pane of glass.

This home needed a kitchen as fabulous as the rest of it. We were able to increase the footprint and triple the counter space, making for a chef friendly kitchen.

Special Projects

Cozy family room

A built-in wall unit with gray cabinets, open shelving, and a wooden bench seat, against a wall with beadboard paneling and a black electrical outlet.

These first-time homeowners loved all of the space that their home afforded them, but the family room left something to be desired. They wanted to be able to watch The Lions game, AND a have a place for their growing family to play. We selected cabinets that would give them storage, and look great. Maple butcher block countertops were fabricated and finished to match the finish of the floating shelves in the family room. The new landing area includes a maple bench, and plenty of additional storage space.

This home was everything our client wanted when she moved back to Detroit. The only detail missing in this well-appointed roost was a proper built-in. This is a perfect example of how we meet our clients where they are. She had already done her research, and knew what she wanted. This allowed us to collaborate, design and install the finish cabinetry and lighting.

The clients had this house built for them, but left the basement unfinished so they could put their own finishing touches on it. After living in the house for a few years, they decided on a gym space with a sauna.

While painting brick may not always be our cup of tea, this client had farmhouse dreams that we helped bring to realization. We were able to repurpose her original wrought iron details for the new awning. We then reached out to an amazing Detroit metal artist, and commissioned him to make us a third piece to support the new awning. All in all, a tremendous change for this 1930’s charmer.
