Simplistic sophistication was achieved with a touch of modern influence. The main objective to this master bathroom remodel was to achieve low maintenance and functionality. Some of the materials used were combinations of porcelain tile, natural stone mosaic and chair rail and Caesarstone quartz counter top. With the use of Laticrete Spectralock epoxy grout, the client will never need to worry about mold, mildew or stains. Cabinets are from DeWil's Custom Cabinetry in their Designer Line.

Luxury Vinyl Planks are a great option for water areas like bathrooms, basements, and kitchens. The technology is advancing so that the product looks and feels like natural products like wood and stone.

Blanchard Mountain Farm, a small certified organic vegetable farm, sits in an idyllic location; where the Chuckanut Mountains come down to meet the Samish river basin. The owners found and fell in love with the land, knew it was the right place to start their farm, but realized the existing farmhouse was riddled with water damage, poor energy efficiency, and ill-conceived additions. Our remodel team focused their efforts on returning the farmhouse to its craftsman roots, while addressing the structure’s issues, salvaging building materials, and upgrading the home’s performance. Despite removing the roof and taking the entire home down to the studs, we were able to preserve the original fir floors and repurpose much of the original roof framing as rustic wainscoting and paneling. The indoor air quality and heating efficiency were vastly improved with the additions of a heat recovery ventilator and ductless heat pump. The building envelope was upgraded with focused air-sealing, new insulation, and the installation of a ventilation cavity behind the cedar siding. All of these details work together to create an efficient, highly durable home that preserves all the charms a century old farmhouse.

The primary bathroom. The louvered shade to the left can be opened to view out across the primary bedroom to a view of the lake. The owners requested this as they saw it while on vacation in the Caribbean.
