LET'S TALK ABOUT POWDER ROOMS

We want to take this opportunity to discuss a room that is often overlooked during the home design phase; the powder room. This space is perhaps given less consideration because typically it is thought of more for function and necessity, rather than overall aesthetic. At Rising Sun Construction, LLC we encourage our clients to consider creating a unique powder room, or secondary bathroom, by making unique choices that really offer visual impact. As designers, we want to give your project attention so that all rooms in your home come together cohesively. Powder rooms should not be excluded, as this small space presents an opportunity for our clients to have fun with interior design. And importantly, because of the small footprint, the influence to overall budget is slight. Consider moody color drenched walls, trim, and ceiling. Consider a statement marble wall sink or a beautiful antique ceiling chandelier. Consider a beautiful vintage inspired mosaic floor tile. Let's not forget about wallpaper because this is another way to bring warmth and life to a small space. The options are literally endless once your creative mind embraces all the possibilities. Take a look at a few of our inspiration boards, including a renovation project that is currently in progress at our own home.

LET'S TALK ABOUT MIXING METALS

For the first post of our LET'S TALK series, we are going to discuss techniques for mixing metals. Something that comes up often while designing a space is mixing metals and how to properly layer fixtures for the best aesthetic. At Rising Sun Construction LLC we encourage our clients to utilize an intentional mix of metal finishes to provide a custom collage of hardware, lighting, and plumbing fixtures throughout their homes. These fixtures, in traditional builder grade home scenarios, are characteristically chosen for ease of simplicity. For example, using a single metal type like oil rubbed bronze throughout the home for door k***s, chandeliers, ceiling fans, and faucets. We will take steps to help our clients avoid making this design mistake, while minimizing decision fatigue. Interior design experts typically recommend that a home incorporate two to three metal finishes in a home construction project or renovation. This keeps the spaces looking balanced, warm, and intentional. Using just a single metal can look flat and uninteresting. Depending on the size of the home, using four or more metal types can look busy and unplanned.

How to Mix Metals:
- Choose one main metal (faucets, overhead lighting, cabinet pulls)
- Keep finishes in mind (mix warm metals like gold and brass with cool ones like chrome and black for balance)
- Spread different finishes in a space to avoid “clumping”
- Add accent metals (door k***s, lamps, photo frames)

Common Use of Metals:
- Polished chrome is classic in bathrooms for a clean look
- Brushed brass or gold adds warmth to a space
- Unlaquered brass is timeless; patina develops overtime
- Matte black basically matches everything

Had a couple studs in a stairwell that bowed back and were not in line with the adjacent studs. They were going to be hard to pull so I chose to use an older method to straighten them. I cut them about 3/4 and then pulled them into line adding wedges. Cut the wedges, added an 8p nail toe nail through the kerf and then sistered the studs. I do this on stairwell, shower and kitchen walls to straighten them up if I can’t replace the studs.

When you’re working in a finished house, it’s important not to create extra work. We had a past client ask us to do a small job installing some new handrails. After cutting and gluing the handrails in the shop, I didn’t want to have to do any painting or drywall work in an occupied home if I didn’t have to. So a careful layout with blue tape and a good stud finder allowed me not to create much mess and get the rails in.  I actually ended up spending as much time doing a layout with the tape and making Marks as I did installing the handrails. Having to fill extra holes and or paint over marks on the wall would have added a lot of extra time and cost the client more.

This is a really unique project. Got to cut these stairs for a unique entryway. Today I worked on the templates to make the stair tread blanks. Seven of them were wedge shaped to make the turn in a shorter length because the room wasn’t that big.
