Large tubs that go mostly unused; small showers that are not comfortable to be in, and often times, simply not enough or the right kind of storage to go around. These same issues existed for this Bridgetown master bathroom, almost as if the space was a cardboard model on a bathroom rather than a space that could actually be used and enjoyed. The new design's goal was to create a new space with a foundation of functional considerations with timeless appeal.

When given the opportunity to move back into a childhood home, the homeowners of this Montgomery project saw the potential to turn the house into one that could serve the next generation with new memories. "I know it brings my parents a lot of joy to have us living there," the homeowner said. Not balking from the work of remodeling the house to fit their needs, the project scope was set at the grand goal of renovating the entire home. In this outstanding remodeling project, every room, and nearly every surface, was reconsidered, re-imagined, and redesigned into a truly transitional space- a traditional home with a modern feel. Trends and classic techniques are blended seamlessly throughout the home, tied together with unique and clever design touches with the help of Neal's designer Amanda Morehart.
