When you remodel any room in your home, you also alter the way it’s used. If you renovate an old study and make it into a family living space, you may find yourself using that room more often. If you remodel your kitchen, you may find cooking a lot easier and more fun. Using your home to its fullest ability will expand other areas of your life as well and you’re likely to feel more comfortable entertaining guests or relaxing quietly in the new space.

This is a customized Avila model from Timber Block's Classic Series. The original Avila: The perfect vacation destination can be found in the Avila. The main floor features everything needed to create a cozy cottage. An open living room with dining area off the kitchen is perfect for both weekend family and family getaways, or entertaining friends. A bedroom and bathroom is on the main floor, and the loft features plenty of living space for a second bedroom. The main floor bedroom and bathroom means everything you need is right at your fingertips. Use the spacious loft for a second bedroom, an additional living room, or even an office. www.timberblock.com

This room was added to the upper level of the home as a north facing dormer. A repurposed claw-foot tub and a buffet was used as the basis for the vanity to which we added additional cabinetry on the left side to fill in the space. A wood plank porcelain tile was used for the flooring and taken into the curbless steam shower. A bench was created for the steam shower and as a shelf adjacent to the tub for use by the bather. The blue accent tile color was repeated on the underside of the tub and on the adjacent wall as an accent. It was also used in the separate toilet room on the wall. A custom rubbed painted finish was used on all the cabinetry. Hudson Valley sconces were used.
