OVERCOMING ARCHITECTURAL OBSTACLES...

Although this renovation took place during the COVID-19 pandemic,
Helms and her team were able to limit themselves to the master suite
while closing off the hallway leading to that area. The main project challenges had more to do with the existing architecture. A former wall was
moved to relocate the shower entrance, and
the sunken tub hole was filled with concrete.
Lighting the area with the vaulted ceiling was
another challenge.
" We addressed the natural architecture of this

" We chose to place LED wafer lights on the flat

of the room and installed 48-in.-long, linear-style
LED light bars on the mirrors to eliminate shadows on the face. "

In terms of the light bars on the mirrors, Helms

" The moral of the story: Consult your subcontractors; they are experts in their field and
are a must-have when looking to install marketforward products, " she added.

...AND BUDGET BREAKERS

Greve said her client had a budget at the outset of
the project, but he ended up going a bit above and
beyond because he loved the selections and features conveyed in the team's CAD drawings done
by Lauren Jackson and Addie Helms. Themed
spaces and those with lots of custom elements can
cost more, and this 200-sq.-ft. bathroom is quite
sizable. The additional tile installation, plumbing
for the rainhead and quartzite countertops also
added up.
Helms said it's never just one item that tips the
budget but that her client loves his new bathroom
and can't wait to go in there every morning.
It's always refreshing when a design team has
some real inspiration with which to work from
the client. This allows the mix of functionality
and aesthetics with a personal vibe that can also
provide an oasis in the home.
