This bathroom renovation project was completed for a very nice couple in Bedford. We tore out all the old tile in the bathroom. We found out they not only had motor down tile but also cement between every joist so we actually had to take all that away just to get started.

Being a full bathroom renovation, we worked on the lighting, heated floor, tile, electrical, the rough-in plumbing, added the shower fixtures that includes the shower and rain head system.

We also installed the glass doors which are divided into two. One part has a panel and the other part is a hinged glass door.

This project is where we did all the work but the design came from the owner of the home.

This basement started off in quite a rough shape. What you can see in this picture is the taping work to achieve very fine lines and corners.

This gives the effect of the drywall being presented nicely with very straight and sharp finishes. We first did a bond and taping after which we coated it with 3 coats of CGC Lite to finish it off.

You can check out the completed project over on profile.

Here, you are looking at a project in itself. We had to find a really nice dry piece of pine that has a different live edge character to it. We sanded it down and created a mould. We then poured epoxy, sanded and buffed it 3 times over. We heated the top a little bit to force it to solidify quicker and this is how we got a bit of bubble action going on, on the inside. We wanted to have the wood look like it has been preserved in amber so we used an epoxy with that colour. All this was done for a special situation for a powder room which has a rounded wall and in a very confined space.

The sink bowl itself was actually imported from Bali.

We also used a matte black wall-mounted faucet which is now a more modern way to go as there’s no dirt or grime build up.

For this project, we actually did the whole house over again. We took the house down right to the studs, and re-framed most of it.

This is the master bedroom where we re-framed the ceiling to be vaulted and installed the window.

We cantilevered the patio by having 7 feet going into the house and fastened to the joists. Then we then had 3 feet extend out for the deck.

This client wanted an inexpensive solution for finishing their stairs, since stair treads can be fairly expensive. There was previously carpet on the steps which, when removed, left the treads in rough condition. To make this a cost-effective and beautiful finished product, we used regular hardwood flooring and painted the risers and skirting a nice contrasting white. We routered the outside pieces to get that nice rounded finished edge on the nosing.

Here we installed green board, which is a mold resistant product used in showers or other wet spaces, followed by orange Schluter membrane which creates a waterproofing barrier for the tile to be applied to. We also installed a 12x24 horizontal niche. Stay tuned for finished photos of this space to see why we went with a horizontal niche, over the typical vertical.

Installed these hardwood poplar floor boards milled locally here in Nova Scotia, sanded them and finished them with a clear natural ultra-matte varnish. Nova Scotia poplar is lighter, more white-toned for a more modern look than traditional American poplar, which tends to lean more green-toned.
