I finally have some photos to show you of our project.  I must first give credit to some of our contractors whose work you see below.  First and foremost, our general contractor was Joseph Hauser of Hauser Houses.  He is amazing!  If any problem comes up, he creatively solves it.  He's patient and so experienced in many different areas of construction, which turned out to be a real plus.

Our architect who made sure all structural integrity for the house was assured and helped us through the city permit process was Craig Bretthauer of Bretthauer Design Studio.

Our beautiful stone and tiles would not look anything so if it weren't for the excellent workmanship of a very fine mason, Matt Banks, of MB Masonry.  The cabinets are not only beautiful to look at but like velvet to touch.  We owe it all to the creative and multi-talented Bob Crouch.  Our granite fabricator was Sunterra Tile and Stone.

Electrical expert, Craig Sullivan, of CDS Electric, really knows how to wire for a modern home.  Dan Hume of Hume and Company knows how to keep dry rot and termites away from the beginning.

I'll be giving more kudos to other contractors on the project as you see more photos of the progress.  Joseph Hauser steered us in the right direction for top notch professionals at every turn.  Now, a few photos:

Our former master bath and shower was in a big need of updating.  The tile was no fun to clean either.

Ooops.  Dry rot is discovered.  What a mess.  From ceiling to floor to bath below and deck nearby.

Dry rot continued to adjoining bedroom deck.

Eventually most of the back side of the house was removed.

Rebuilding the master shower area.  All new wood in the entire project is treated by Hume & Company to prevent dry rot and any termite infestation.

Our Fabulous new brown sugar-colored travertine shower with ocean view.  MB Masonry made it perfection.  Our new fan and heater are on timers, an excellent suggestion by our electrician since they are so quiet you forget they're on!

Glass tile accents in the floor. MB Masonry made it a designer's dream come true.  And Webster Glass did a highly professional job of designing and installing the frameless glass shower doors.

My design for a new master vanity cabinets was exactly as imagined.  Bob Crouch was a beautiful craftsman, matching my Barely Jade paint swatch and glazing the crevices with the perfect metallic bronze.

Rusty old sinks and corroded faucets were replaced by sparkling recessed sinks and oil-rubbed bronze faucets that are a joy to touch.  The amazing Emerald Glacier granite has emerald green, metallic copper and gold swirls.  I found it at Bedrosians and fabricator was Sunterra Tile and Stone.

The upper cabinets were added for more storage.  Lighting was added behind the crown throughout the entire bath.  Electrical wizadry was performed by CDS Electric.  All the lighting is on dimmers, of course!

New trim and wide baseboards were added by our master General Contractor, Hauser Houses.

A new, deeper storage cabinet in shower area was made possible by moving the opening to the area about 6 inches.

A beautiful new cherry bi-fold door, stained and varnished by Bob Crouch, leads to shower area.

Our former guest bath had a worn tub and a floor that was tile floor that was hard to clean.  It was a bit dated too.

Voila!  A brand new shower/tub combination.  Beautiful mosaic tile trim and an easy care porcelain tile for the walls and floor.  No more ugly shower curtain.  Now we have an oil-rubbed bronze glass door that's easy to clean and beautiful.

The rusty old sink was replaced and the too-small faucet was updated with a perfectly arched oil-rubbed bronze one.  A new framed mirror and pedestal lights replaced the plain, worn mirror and canned lights. 

In the powder room, we replaced our pedestal sink for my design for a more functional a pretty vanity.  Now I have storage and a countertop for a candle and other items.  Bob Crouch, our cabinet maker, had some really good ideas to make it work.  He also built me a new matching storage cabinet about the toilet.  What a difference the extra storage has made!  Just as in all of the above, the photos do not do justice to the beauty of the cabinets or the tile and granite.
