This is where the Callen Sales Design Consultant shine. We were asked to think outside the box and consider extending the bathroom about three feet, which is no small task. By adding a window and gable, our home was literally pushed out three feet. This new space accommodated the walk-in closet we wanted.
To this day, we look at the bathroom like it is still brand new. We not only get the daily enjoyment of the Kohler whirlpool, the glass surround shower, the double vanity, flat screen TV, and the huge closet (which has a view), but the renovation added tremendous value to our home. If it wasn’t for our designer making that suggestion, we still only have the same small space without the dramatic change provided by the new gable and window. The exterior now looks complete and more balanced.
Another item on our wish list for the space were heated floors, but we were concerned about the cost. However, the installation of electric mats that are much more cost-effective allowed this wish to become a reality. We now have a heated floor in both the bathroom and the closet so the tile is warm during our Wisconsin winters (which in my opinion is about six months out of the year!).
We use the heated floors all the time and with the dual thermostats, we can make the floor and the air above it as warm as we desire. Keep in mind that heat rises, so heated floors heat the entire room, which you feel when walking in.
Until next month, when we talk more about how Callen has put the “WOW” in home remodeling at our house.
