Orange County General Contractors Create Fireplaces with Flare

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement / Comments Off

Does the thought of fall and cooler temperatures have you dreaming of curling up by the fireplace? Fireplaces add an unmistakable warmth to any room. Today’s fireplaces complement rather than dominate a room. That’s because modern fireplaces no longer act as a home’s main source of heat. Check out what happens when one set of Orange County general contractors play around with fire. The results are fabulous.

Old World Charm in Modern Home

This room received a total makeover. It’s easy to imagine yourself in a pub in any town in Ireland (or the rest of the European continent).

Somehow, that Irish whiskey or red ale just tastes better when enjoyed by a fire. The same stone used in the bar area extends out to create a home for the fireplace and a TV. This space was made for enjoying a pint of Harp while the Shamrock Rovers tear it up on the telly.

Why General Contractors Recommend Gas Fireplaces for Orange County Homes

Where you find new fireplaces installed in Orange County, you’ll find the fireplaces are gas-burning appliances.

General contractors install gas burners over wood burners for many reasons. To begin with, a gas fireplace saves a renovating homeowner money. Adding a fireplace after construction costs much less because a chimney doesn’t need to be added as well. As long as the fireplace has ventilation, it is safe.

Many gas-burning fireplaces feature a tempered glass front to create radiant heat. Homeowners use this radiant heat source to take the chill off one room without the need to heat the entire house.

Eco-warriors love gas-burning fireplaces as well. They don’t create soot or ash emissions, so they keep the air clean. No trees are harmed when enjoying a gas fireplace.

Unusual Fireplaces

A creative general contractor knows how to incorporate fireplaces into just about any space.

This fireplace makes good use of limited space in the bathroom. As a bonus, two-sided fireplaces provide two heating surfaces and more angles from which to enjoy the fire.

Bathroom fireplaces offer the ultimate luxury touch. Elevate your soaking tub experience with an exquisite fireplace in your bathroom.

Tips from Kitchen and Bath Contractors Make Holiday Guests Feel at Home

By Inspired Remodels / Home Improvement / Comments Off

Holiday guests en route to your house? Use this as an opportunity to spruce up a few things in the kitchen and bath. Inspired Remodels, the Orange County kitchen and bath contractors, knows how to create comfortable, beautiful, and useful spaces.

Use their tips to create spaces that help your holiday guests feel right at home.

In the Kitchen

Clean out the inside of your refrigerator. There’s no time like the present to toss out those unidentifiable leftovers or that condiment you’ve had for so long you can’t remember when or why you purchased it.

Wipe down countertops and appliances so the kitchen sparkles.

Leave coffee mugs out by the coffee pot. If you have a single-serve (Keurig-style) coffee pot, make sure it’s filled with water and the K-cups are next to the pot. Want to wow guests? Toss in a few pods of apple cider or herbal tea.

Create a snacking station. Whether you set out a few local delicacies on the kitchen island or assemble a tray of cookies by the coffee pot, make grabbing a snack easy.

In the Bathroom

Even rooms that lack frequent use still get dirty. Make sure to go over the guest bathroom quickly with a dusting cloth.

Dust settles on even the cleanest vanity tops, mirrors, and the backs of toilets. So, send the dust bunnies scurrying to another house.

Give your guests a 5-star hotel feeling by leaving a carefully curated selection of luxury soaps, lotions, and other toiletries.

Set out plush, absorbent towels for guests. You can place these on the edge of the bathtub or at the foot of the bed in the guest bedroom.

Make sure at least one cabinet or drawer is empty, so guests have a place to store their own personal care items, medications, and hygiene items.

In the Bedroom

Carry that luxury hotel feeling from the bathroom into the bedroom. Splurge on high thread count sheets. These days, most fine bed linens are permanent press. But, for an over-the-top experience, iron pillowcases and the top edge of the flat bedsheet.

Clear out some room in the closet to hang clothes and store luggage. If you have a dresser or chest of drawers, provide ample room for guest to stow their clothing.

Leave a slip of paper with the wi-fi name and password, operating instructions for any heating or air conditioning in the room, and key codes for entry doors.

Orange County Bathroom Remodeling – Thanksgiving Edition

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

If you’ve survived an Orange County bathroom remodeling this year, you’re thankful the work is complete and you now have a revived and refreshed space.

Even in the best circumstances, any major home remodeling disrupts the rhythm of everyday family life. Bathroom remodeling in the en suite bathroom spills into the bedroom and requires you to move to a secondary bathroom.

Remodeling a secondary bathroom puts it out of commission and requires sharing another bathroom space.

But once the work is done, the dust is cleared, and life settles down, you feel an immense sense of accomplishment. Take a look at these recent Orange County bathroom remodeling projects.

Double Duty

Make the most of the space you have with a dual vanity. Include cabinetry, sinks, and mirrors for two along one wall.

Don’t think you need two walls to create two separate spaces.

In this bathroom, gorgeous greige quartz countertops complement white cabinetry with black hardware. Each mirror provides individual task lighting.

Square sinks match the lines of the cabinet insets.

Here you see the same elements that appear to be completely different. You still have dual sinks, cabinets, and mirrors but it doesn’t even look the same

Instead of knockdown walls, this bathroom remodel adds white picket tiles to create a backsplash. Dual round mirrors share task lighting and square sinks still prevail, but the cabinetry is a different style.

Still, both rooms provide a space anyone would be thankful to have in their house.

Spa Experience in a Small Space

Experienced bathroom remodeling companies know how to squeeze maximum enjoyment from every square inch of space. Even if you don’t have a square to spare.

This Orange County bathroom remodel oozes luxury and spa vibes from every surface. A frameless glass shower stall, overhead rain shower head, dark herringbone tile with contrasting light grout, and light floor create a serene spa-like feel.

The Japanese-style soaking tube in bright white follows the clean-line aesthetics that start with the cabinetry and carry through to the hardware.

This room exudes elegance and classic style. In other words, it packs a huge punch in a small space. And most importantly, no element overwhelms the space.

Super Sweet En Suite Bathroom Remodeling

Then there is the amazing en suite bathroom remodeling in San Clemente.

This homeowner had enough space to create a bathroom retreat. Sinks on opposite walls give each user all the personal space they need for morning and nightly routines.

A sit-down vanity space with exceptional lighting offers a place for make-up and other personal grooming.

Storage galore! There’s no need for a separate linen and supplies closet to keep this space amply stocked.

Add a glorious soaking tub accented with a foyer-worthy chandelier and you can see this space provides much to be thankful for.
