Our wonderful client, Joy, bought a spacious home in a Lafayette development to be closer to her family. As a professional woman and an experienced realtor, Joy had discerning ideas about how to modify her new home to fit her particular requirements. As we began to do the design and detail work, I realized that the project was not just a list of changes, but rather a complete makeover.

The extensive changes to the function and flow of each room required new framing and numerous window modifications, and the revised floor plan accommodated more closets. We installed new doors (interior and exterior) with fresh trim and hardware, and luxury vinyl faux wood flooring. A complete rewiring and lighting plan added recessed fixtures that brighten every corner. Of course, there are new tiled showers and bath flooring and fresh interior and exterior paint.

This is a project where every detail was important to the client. Joy reviewed every sample and product before making a decision. This process required us to sort through the overwhelming profusion of options in product showrooms. We visited the Capco showroom in Boulder to select a tile that would work best for her in her bathrooms. We selected flooring, wall, and accent tiles … soothing colors, with glamorous details for a client with refined taste.

Color was a very important aspect of this project. Great care was taken to place color samples on the walls in the room, to see and feel the hue at various times of the day. Subtle adjustments were made from wall to wall within a room, to make sure the color was right. It is a very satisfying result.

Joy is a gracious and generous client, showing respect for the tradesmen and suppliers. She understands the value of hard work and quality.
