Miracles on a Budget

7/19/2017

0 Comments

 
​In my life, and I’m sure in yours, there have been many miracles. Some of epic proportions – like the birth of my kids; some of medium proportions – such as the potty training of said kids; and some on a  smaller scale – like a Venti Midnight Mocha Frappuccino after a long day with those very same kids ;)  Professionally, I’ve witnessed miracles as well, but my favorite ones have to do with project completion when the clients look at each other in wonder, their only regret being that they waited so long to get started. Sometimes, these are large scale renovations such as gutting the master bath or reconfiguring the kitchen layout but just as often it’s work performed on a smaller but equally important scale. Creating a more efficient mudroom, custom carpentry, or a fresh coat of paint have all had the same effect.
 
In addition to the painted wall frame project a few blog posts back and the ongoing Cottage Wall project I started a few weeks back (sadly, without progress to report…check back next week!), the ideas featured below are low-investment but high-impact.
 
The paint job in this bath is incredible – slightly more of a challenge given our textured walls, but very doable nonetheless. Many of the consultations I get called for have to do with how to improve a “blah” powder room – I can’t think of any that wouldn’t be enhanced with this simple concept.

​Finally, sheetrock and mouldings – every day miracle workers. I last wrote about lowering the breakfast bar and these ideas would increase the wow factors of those pieces.
After the Cottage Wall is complete, I'm hoping to add some detailing to my kitchen "island" (really a half-wall) similar to these images. Removing the raised breakfast bar would be ideal, but without extending the counters would pose a problem due to the placement of the sink. These mouldings might just be enough to help me forget why I dislike the raised bar so much...
If you would like to discuss a miracle on any budget, please contact The Ashbury Construction Company at any time.
