Luke & Marsha's Lebanon Guest Suite Remodel

Scope of Work

It was necessary to make this project as ADA compliant as possible to accommodate an aging grandmother.

In order to close off the space and create a private room, we closed off a doorway from the previous dining room to the kitchen and an extended the wall in the previous living room and added french pocket doors.

In the now bedroom, we added carpet. The carpet is highly rated for ADA compliance due to its durability to sustain walkers and wheel chairs. The new lights have a dimer switch that are remote controlled.

The gorgeous bay window provides a perfect sitting nook for reading and relaxing.

Before entering the bathroom, we added a transition area with two closets; one on each side. We used a pocket door into the bathroom to maximize space.

The bathroom really reflects their grandmother's love of marble. The floor is LVT that resembles marble. The walk-in shower has a cultured marble surround on the walls. Grab bars were added for safety. The same marble that was used in the shower was used for the countertop on the vanity.

The white vanity was custom made to meet ADA regulations. There is a 9" toe-kick and an area big enough for a chair or wheelchair at the sink.

Using the same color paint all throughout the space was important to make it look and feel cohesive.

A challenge some our clients face is finding the time to fit in showroom appointments. With living in Lebanon, our clients had to drive a little further to make showroom appointments. However, with that in mind, we were very meaningful and purposeful with the showroom appointments. Once we were able to make those appointments work, Luke, Marsha, and their grandmother were decisive, engaged, and ready to keep moving forward. They open to being guided and education, and with their trust in our designer, they were able to make decisions quickly. With ordering materials, product lead times, and scheduling trade partners, they spent a little over a month in pre-production. Once construction starts, a typical bathroom remodel takes about 4-6+ weeks, but this project took a little longer to complete than originally anticipated as there were some challenges with both the vanity top fitting on the custom vanity and the floor installation.
