Where to start with a bathroom remodel

Well we still have not had any requests for topic discussion (please request something, that was the point of this blog - thanks in advance).  So next we would like to discuss "Where to start with a bathroom remodel". 

We start by asking our clients if there is look that they have seen that stands out to them.  People get inspiration from so many different places.  Sometimes you are out at a restaurant and love what they did in their entry, or bathroom, sometimes its a friends house that just had some work done, or an HGTV show, a magazine ad for a new faucet, a web site like Houzz, etc.  We find this kind of inspiration gives us a direction to start in, now we decide where to go from there.

One of the first things we like to do is come out to the house and do a site measurement of the space.  From this we can better tell what is and what is not feasible.  Sometimes moving a plumbing item is easy, and some times it just doesn't make sense.  We like to see where doors to other rooms are and where the windows are located.  This is something that James does and he can tell us more about what exactly he looks for on a site measure, and then I am going to discuss a little further how we take that information and help come up with a comprehensive design for the space.
