master bathroom project: in progress
March 19, 2012
One of our current projects is getting a new master suite… see pictures of the progress so far!
Progress shots of the master bathroom.
a. This picture shows the toilet room floor. We used a 12″ x 24″ tile with a glass mosaic as an accent on the floor.
b.The master walk-in shower features a waterfall of mosaic tiles in shades of watery blues, earthy greens, crisp whites, and soft browns. It adds a nice detail to the shower wall while giving us a chance to put some interest and color on the wall.
c. Here, you can see the beginnings of the custom, curved edge vanity. The cabinet will be finished with enamel and entire back wall and side walls will get mirror applied to them.
d. This is a sweet little ‘beauty’ shot of the vanity up close. The curves add a nice feminine touch to the bathroom. This will be the perfect place to sit to enjoy coffee and get ready for the day, or to unwind in the evening.
year in review: july – december 2011
January 9, 2012
And to round out our highlights from the past year of blogging, here are some of the entries we picked to share again from the last six months of the year…
For July we shared a blog about a cabin remodel on Clearwater Lake that we designed. The project included a new mudroom addition, re-designed kitchen with custom cabinetry, and handmade tile. It turned out to be a great place to spend the warm and sunny summer days and nights!
In August, one of our entries highlighted different projects we worked on with different color schemes. There is one for every color of the rainbow. Revisit the blog for inspiration for your own home.
Cambria came out with new colors this year and in September, we highlighted the new Waterstone Collection. This new collection was the most buzzed about yet – the colors and patterns are so pretty and innovative!
In October we shared an article and video from ABC that talked all about a project in Montana where EVERYTHING going into building the house was made in the USA. The interview is interesting and comes with some eye-opening facts.
During November, we polled our readers to see what color was their favorite and orange won. In this blog entry we posted products that we love in orange… what fun!
In December, we shared pictures and drawings of a master bathroom project we worked on in Edina. With its cozy heated marble floors, shiny Kohler fixtures, and fresh paint, this bathroom is definitely work checking out.

Recently, we finished a master bathroom project and would like to share some of the ‘after’ snapshots and hauthaus drawings with you, our loyal reader!
Below, you’ll see the floor plan which shows the door to the bathroom is directly off of the bedroom (at the top of the drawing). The tall linen cabinet and double sink vanity are opposite the wall with the free standing bathtub and glass shower enclosure. We included a special make-up area for our client on the other side of the shower. The door at the end of the bathroom leads to the walk-in closet.

window treatment styles
February 22, 2011
There are many different ways to dress your windows. Oh let me count the ways: panels, shades, shutters… well why don’t we just show you!
Here are some of the ways we have treated some of our clients’ windows…
Stationary Panels: This softens the large window while adding some drama. Since the client didn't need these treatments for privacy, we were able to cut down on yardage (and cost).
Inverted pleats: This style allowed for us to show off the beautiful patterned fabric, and because they are lined panels, they block the hot summer sun and keep this dining room cool in more ways than one!
Roman Shade: we used this treatment in a 'top-down/ bottom-up' application for maximum privacy and light control.
Asymmetrical Valance: we added some fun and whimsy into this little girl's room by using fun dressmaker trim and a kick pleat in the corners of this valance.
Soft, shaped cornice: this top treatment uses embroidered silk and rich, black swagged cotton to soften the sound in this music room.
Pinch Pleats: this heading treatment on these lined, silk panels adds formality and elegance to the living room.
