eclectic mcm kit/dining/half bath reveal (LOTS pics)
Comments (44)Thanks again everyone. I just wanted to add that we definitely shared the "trepidation" some of you mentioned when we first contemplated renovating the spaces. I think in retrospect it was a good thing that the job of selling our previous house prevented us from moving into this home until a month before the demo began. I think if we had lived here for very long it would have been much harder to take on such a big remodel (and I can definitely relate to why the second owners chose to change nothing.) We couldn't have accomplished this without our fantastic GC and cabinetmaker. Our cabinetmaker took our original vision and made it so much better. It was he who designed the shape of the bar table to match the angle of kitchen counter and designed almost on the spot the boomerang shelves when we discovered that the fireplace stone didn't go all the way down to the counters. His company does custom work at very reasonable prices -- if you live in the Twin Cities area, I can recommend them highly. rhome410 -- below is the original floor plan. The home is a split level (the floor plan shows only the top floor of the split levels) The only structural changes we made were: 1) to eliminate the wall of cabinetry and shorten the half wall between the kitchen and dinette area; 2) lengthen the half bath by removing the doggy bath in the laundry area ellendi -- great idea! in fact, our home will be part of a home remodeling tour later this summer AngAx -- I agree that homes in WI are more standardized than we were used to (we are originally from the west coast.) However, after buying our home, we became more attuned to finding the MCM gems.... they are here and SO much more affordable than on the west coast. p.s. I love white kitchens too :) flyleft -- your enthusiasm cheered my DH up amazingly! (He is overall very happy with the move and renovations but at times laments the year of our life dedicated to it :) Re: the pottery on the boomerang shelves, the vintage cannisters were a gift from a dear friend in France. The rest have been purchased from artisan potteries in France. louisanapurchase -- "looks more original than the original" -- wow -- thanks so much. We couldn't have hoped for more. javachik -- It sings to us too! Thanks!...See MoreNew bath reveal from 1988 to now!

Comments (9)In the hall bath I love the coppery trim outlining the pearly glass tiles, and how this was used in both the shower and backsplash. Are those little succulents growing in the 3 tubes on the counter? Cool! In the master, I also gravitated toward the blue cabinet. I love the little tulips on top. I see that you remembered a nice solid toe rest for the shower. I agree that you have a nice vibe in both rooms, peaceful with a touch of whimsy. Congratulations!...See MoreMaster Bath Reveal -- Contemporary Craftsman
Comments (13)dmpsd, thanks. The tile is Ann Sacks Pietra Calacatta porcelain tile in 15" x 30" size. I had planned to have the tile set randomly, but after opening the boxes, I realized that the tiles formed a pattern; I laid them out together like a jigsaw puzzle on my bedroom carpet and labeled them for the tile setter. I was missing some pieces of the puzzle, so needed to get creative. It may be possible to order the tiles numbered, but I had not considered it when I ordered them. The towers next to the sinks are 11.5-inches deep and 14" wide on the exterior; the interior size is 11 x 11". The towers on the makeup vanity are 11.5" deep and 16" wide on the exterior; the interior is 11" deep by 12.5" wide. I have had issues with the stain on the bottom of the towers running onto the countertop next to the sink; if I had known that would happen, I would have wrapped the bottom of the sink towers with Caesartone. Here are a couple more photos. The makeup vanity is at "desk" height (lower than the sink vanity) and is not as deep as the sink vanity (that is, shorter distance from edge of counter to mirror)....See MoreBunny
