Princeton Basement: Painting and Ceiling Installation

Last week, A&E sheetrocked and spackled the Princeton Basement project and shared photos of the progress we have made over the last few weeks. Since then, we have also installed the drop ceiling and put on the first layers of paint! Take a look at the progress we've made in just one week!

Princeton Basement: Sheetrocking and Spackling

Two weeks ago, A&E introduced you to the Princeton Basement project that is taking place in the same home as the Princeton Kitchen Remodel that we completed just last year. Over the past 2 weeks, we have completed framing, sheetrocking and spackling, and are prepping to paint and install the flooring and cabinets!

Finished Bathroom Renovation: Skillman, NJ

 

Over the holidays, A&E started and completed a master bathroom renovation in Skillman, NJ. Just a few days ago, we had a chance to visit the homeowner and photograph the space. Here, we show you the major changes to the floor plan and the finished space!



During the remodeling, a major goal was to fully utilize the space without making major changes to the existing layout. As seen above, the only changes in wall structure were the removal of the closet walls (to the right of the entryway) and the removal of the catty-corner behind the original vanity. These minor adjustments allowed us to move the vanity to a single wall and to add a cabinet fixture next to the toilet. The replacement of the corner tub with a freestanding tub freed up space, allowing the homeowners to enjoy a much larger shower.

Before.



After: a view into the new master bathroom.

After: the placement of the new tub allows it to receive natural light throughout the day. The choice of flooring (although it looks like hardwood, it's actually tile!) complements the color of the walls and makes the space feel warm and comfortable.

The glass shower adds to the "light" feeling of the interior and the color of the shower tile matches that of the floor tile.

Princeton Basement

Do you remember our Princeton Kitchen Remodel From Start to Finish? Just last year, A&E completed a renovation for Princeton homeowners who wanted to enlarge their kitchen and update it with the most modern appliances. Today, we're back in the same home, although this time the homeowners are looking to finish their basement, complete with room for recreation, laundry and additional storage. Here's a glimpse of where we started, where we are and where we're going:
