What a privilege it was to reimagine this bathroom for such a lovely family and a truly remarkable home.

To honor the character and era of the home while greatly improving functionality, we carried through the timeless black and gold accents, custom trim work, and even sourced wallpaper from England to complement the space beautifully. The spacious walk-in shower, complete with a detailed border and built-in bench, is both comfortable and a dramatic upgrade to the room. And the sconces? Perfectly era specific, and we absolutely love how they tied everything together. The mirror was thoughtfully sourced to ensure it would sit over the wainscoting. Oh! And check out the custom spot built for toothbrushes to keep them charging and off the counter.

While I don’t claim to be an interior designer, one thing is certain: nobody pulls off bathrooms like the Plantes. Huge shoutout to our incredible team for their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and thoughtful ex*****on throughout every phase of this renovation.

As always, exceptional tile selection and customer service from Sullivan’s Floor Covering, and vanity selection through Ferguson.

Most importantly, thank you to our wonderful clients for trusting us with your home, for your patience while waiting for a spot on our schedule, and for being such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process.

Sorry followers- I’ve been slacking on social media!

Upgraded bathroom for the sweetest client!

We focused on improving functionality while keeping the space beautiful and cohesive. This bathroom now features a spacious walk-in shower, a larger vanity for added storage, a heated mirror with built-in LED lighting, and an upgraded ceiling grid with new tiles.

The vertical stacked sage green tile paired with mosaic flooring creates a clean, modern look with a subtle pop of color that complements the warm wood tones. Sage is here to stay, y’all!

(Finishing touch coming soon—matching brushed nickel pulls I spaced on 🙈)

Happy clients = the best part of what we do 🥰

As we wind down 2025, we want to take a moment to say thank you!!

This year, we had the privilege of working for 43 families and 8 businesses, and we’re incredibly grateful for the trust you placed in our team. We’ll be the first to admit—we don’t always stop to capture the before and afters because our focus is on doing the work, not marketing it. But here are a few candid shots of the crew who made it all happen.

If we worked together in 2025 and you had a great experience, we’d love for you to drop a comment below.

Lastly, if you’re dreaming up a new project for 2026, give us a call—we’d love to be part of it!

Sneak peak at a renovation underway and something really fun to come to Caribou! The guys framed in a few doorways, Britt mudded, repainted the store, painted some furniture, trim, door, floor (oops jk). Highlight was wallpapering and found a unique way to create a beautiful accent wall. The second store front was done over the summer and has been super handy during renovations. More to come in the upcoming weeks! It’s difficult to suppress the excitement.

Maximizing budgets is one way we try to assist our customers to get more out of their renovations. We were contracted for a full gut on one bathroom, rearranged the plumbing and layout to fit a tub/shower combo. In order to fit a vanity, Ryan came up with framing the wall and building custom trim to allow the heat to escape (looks pretty snazzy). To our customers delight, the guys were able to do a second shower and floor. Homeowner crushed the painting 💪 In addition, this customer is getting a water softener in the coming week. Gained a wonderful customer and some furry friends along the way.
