Murphy’s Law – A Bathroom Renovation
Well. I don’t often write about what can go wrong on a jobsite. But, being in the world of design and construction, the odds are, something will go wrong every once in a while.
Bathrooms
Stop! Don’t hire a contractor yet!
Well hello there! If you have been following my social media for the last week or so, you have noticed that we are putting on a one hour class to teach the public how to get a proper contract and good financing for their renovations. Why? You ask, would we do this?
I guess the truth is, that both Jonathan (handsome guy in photo above), and I are very nice people. Hah! It’s true. And these two very nice people are very very tired of seeing other very nice people get into financial trouble with shady businesses.
Don’t stress. Dance.
April is national stress awareness month. Sounds gross. Feels worse. Stress is a real thing, unfortunately.
My assistant found this statistic:
At least 1/3 of Canadians feel that they are constantly under stress because they are trying to accomplish more than what they can effectively handle and not taking the time to decompress often enough.
Mid-Town Toronto Residence Part 2
Our final goal at this residence was to make the very small and outdated bathroom more functional, and, of course, more visually appealing. The clients originally intended on increasing the size of the bathroom, but time constraints and the loss of much needed bedroom space quickly changed all of our minds.
YONGE LAWRENCE BATHROOM
Well, it was a beautiful morning in July, and my brand new clients asked me to come over and take a look at their bathroom. Ron, my contractor, told them how great I am and that before he even put a quote together, I should come up with a design.
That’s how it works, you see….how can the contractor quote something if he doesn’t know what crazy stuff the designer is going to ask for?
