Nearly every week, a homeowner calls. She has done her research, thought through her project, and already decided she wants to work with a designer rather than just a contractor. Then she asks when I could start, expecting an answer that fits a normal calendar. I appreciate the question for what it reveals about how…

There is a rhythm to the luxury homes I design across Granite Bay and Placer County, and a primary bathroom remodel almost always starts the same way.
