Lessons along the way……budget bathroom remodels.

via Elle Decor

I have been working on a couple client bathroom remodels during the last year.

Besides the endless possibilities and the numerous decisions to be made,

bathrooms can get expensive quickly based on your finish choices.

I always try and help clients balance some splurge-worthy choices

with more moderately priced elements to stay within the set budget.

I never pretend to be an ASID interior designer - in the past, most of

the best, most exclusive materials, fixtures and lighting were sourced

exclusively from 'trade only' sources and design centers for trade professionals.  

The internet has changed the landscape

and a lot of what I do as an interior decorator (proud to be one!) is helping

clients source the elements for the designs we create.  There 

are SO many websites that offer bathroom fixtures, lighting and hardware

so pricing is competitive!  Websites like PlumbTile really help make me

look like a rockstar when I am able to tell my clients

that the beautiful Rohl faucet they want to include in their bathroom

design is available at PlumbTile for a fraction of the price of their local showroom.

Online source PlumbTile is really a one stop shop for all

your bathroom remodel needs.  PlumbTile represents many major

brands like Kohler, Rohl, Daltile, Hudson Valley Lighting,

Adex Tile…..and SO many more!!  PlumbTile makes my life easier

by making it easy to go to one place and check pricing

and stock for many bathroom elements like tile, hardware, 

plumbing and lighting.

And truly, I feel great when I am able to give my clients

competitive pricing on the items they most want to see

in their new bathroom. #superstar

I put together the design below using bathroom fixtures offered

by PlumbTile (everything but the the towel and art!).

I love using classic elements like hexagon and subway tile mixed with more updated

plumbing fixtures like this modern brass faucet and modern 

lighting like these sleek sconces. You can't go wrong with a heavy dose of white and

then adding some colorful art or fun wallpaper!

Happy Monday everyone!
