Conserving Water with Dual-Flush Toilets

Dual-flush toilets have become increasingly popular these days, with the general public's growing concern about conservation and money-saving tactics.  We just got done installing a few dual-flush toilets from the Eago line, for a  bathroom project we've been working on.  We must say, if you are in the process of remodeling and are looking to replace your toilet(s), consider getting a dual-flush one.  It's a great concept, with less water being used for liquid waste versus solid waste.

The overall cost may be just a bit higher than if you were to purchase a standard toilet, even compared to a low-flush efficient one.  But the overall savings may be seen in your water bill over time.  Be sure to check the specs beforehand as some of these dual-flush toilets may be installed differently than a regular toilet.

If you need assistance in getting one of these toilets or to install one, please contact us for more information.

Traditional Romantic Master Bathroom Makeover

This master bathroom went from a tract builder's standard issue to a beautiful, traditionally styled bathroom with classic yet romantic touches. We removed the soffit and wall separating the toilet/shower from the tub and vanity area to create a larger, more spacious feeling in the bathroom. Then we constructed a new pony wall, along with a new shower and custom glass shower panels, recessed medicine cabinets, and a custom rain-glass window panel above the new rain-glass bathroom door. The bathroom was decked out with a new clawfoot tub and wall-mount bath faucet, wood vanity with dual sinks and wall-mount faucets, mirrored wardrobe doors, comfort-height toilet, carrera marble subway tile and floor tile, marble hex tiles for the shower pan, glass mosaic pencil liners and marble dome liners as decorative accents, and a crystal chandelier. What a difference such beautiful finish materials can do for a bathroom!!

From an Outdated Pink Bathroom to a Classic 1920's Bathroom

We recently finished this beautiful 1920's bathroom renovation with the classic black and white subway and hex tile combination. The tub enclosure was gutted to give the bathroom a much more open and larger feeling, and the shower plumbing was relocated to the other wall. The sink, toilet and fittings are from the Kohler Bancroft Suite, while the fabulous vintage tub is a salvage item. See before and after pictures below.

Classic 1940s-Era Cottage Bungalow Bathroom

Wow! What a difference color can make! We just finished renovating this 1940s-era bathroom, transforming it from the typical orange-y tan and maroon color combination to classic white and black. Although the previous color scheme was cute, the homeowner wanted to update it with classic colors but keeping with the same period style of the 1940s. So, we used 4" square tiles on the walls and 4" hex tiles on the floor, and updated the fixtures from the Kohler Memoirs Classic line.

Now, the homeowner has a beautifully renovated bathroom and her adorable dog Sadie has an equally "cool" place to lay down during these hot summer days!
