Kitchen Renovation... After


We changed the dark cabinets to off-white painted cabinets. We installed a bow window to give more light to the space. The refrigerator was repositioned to the opposite wall because it was an overpowering focal point as you entered the kitchen. New granite countertops, and a new decorative tile backsplash were installed.
The home owner of this new kitchen stated that Monique: "is always professional, very attentive, timely, makes good choices, and always stays within our understood budget. She is pleasant to deal with! I highly recommend Monique as an outstanding interior decorator."

Shower...Before

This Victorian house had a 1980's bathroom, with a tub and shower unit.

Vanity...Before


This is the vanity in the 1980's bathroom.

Vanity...After

The new vanity is more appropriate for the era of the house. This vanity has a furniture look and is on legs. The same decorative boarder that was used in the shower was mounted on the wall as a frame for the mirror.

Shower...After

This is the completed tile stall shower with bench, frameless shower doors, and duel shower heads. This shower has a decorative tile border, and the shower floor is blue marble tile which coordinates with the vanity top.
This is a close up of the double vanity.

Vanity Marble Top...After

This is the blue marble countertop that matches the marble tiles in the shower floor.

Kitchen Renovation... Before


This house is in Newton MA. This house was built in 1980 by a builder. It's layout was not working for the family. The kitchen cabinets were replaced, and all of the hardware was updated. The flat unatractive window was replaced with an angular bay window. The refridgerator was moved to the other side of the island, in order to break through the den wall to make a kitchen/ family room combination. A hardwood floor was installed replacing the outdated linoleum. A new tile backsplash was designed, and the granite countertops replaced the formica ones. I got rid of the track lighting and put in recessed lighting. I replaced the popcorn cielings with a smooth finish.

Kitchen Renovation... After

The complete Newton MA kitchen. The cabintes are lighter, there is more lighting fom the window and new fixtures, and the kitchen is more functional.
