These two spaces were part of a whole house renovation, which included four other baths, various living spaces--plus a spa room which I posted to another thread. The only spaces not touched were the kitchen and master bath, which we had already remodeled in 2004. The entire project was designed by Matt Harris. I have worked with him for over 8 years and he is extremely talented.

Working for him, I've had the opportunity to build some amazing things and work in some great houses. If you look at my website, you'll notice his design credit on a lot of my work.

Designers come in all shapes, sizes & abilities... They're a lot like realtors--80% of them aren't worth a nickel. Of the 20% that are left, only about 5% really understand how things are built.

Working for a bad one can make you want to chuck it all and go bag groceries. Working for a good one can teach you more than any book or trend magazine ever could.
