Tiki Island, Texas
Home Renovation – In Progress
Home Renovation – Completed
The new wood flooring on the stairs was completely re-framed to give more head room at the lower landing. We installed new tongue and groove yellow pine ceilings in the family room along with a newly re-positioned fireplace with granite surround and an antique wood mantel. The breakfast room was re-configured to face the canal. The guest bath has a frameless glass shower, custom vanity, and marble counters. The primary bath has a freestanding tub with port window and marble wainscot. The office has custom cabinets with cane inserts.

Old Braeswood
Conversion – Garage to Photo Studio
Description
Bluebonnet is a detached garage and apartment combined to create a two story photo studio space. Foundation and form work created a usable stained concrete floor. Unique framing, both structural and visual, created a two and a half story work space with a sweeping “theater style” balcony. Salvaged lights and fixtures were modernized internally and installed to add to the character. The design was developed by the artistic homeowners and a special thanks goes out to the Heights Metal Works for all of the custom iron work and on-site fabrication.
