From the beginning, the homeowners knew exactly what they wanted as the “core” of the remodel: tile, lots of it, with a design that felt elevated, intentional, and anything but off-the-shelf. After meeting with other companies and coming up short on a design vision, they found Kaminskiy and partnered with Andrea Short and Haley Overlund to bring their ideas into a real, buildable plan. The result is a striking, luxurious retreat, anchored by dramatic tilework, a sculptural freestanding soaking tub, and floating cabinetry, and executed with the kind of detail you notice more and more every time you step inside.

Hear From the Homeowners
Before scrolling further, take a moment to hear the remodel story from the homeowners themselves. In this candid testimonial, they share why their 20+ year-old bathroom no longer worked for them, how they struggled to find a company that could truly translate their vision into a real design plan, and why the collaborative process with our team made the difference. They also highlight the attention to detail, like mixing multiple grout samples to perfectly complement contrasting tile, and describe what it feels like to walk into the finished space every day.

Turning a Tile-First Vision Into a Seamless Reality
The homeowners knew tile would be the centerpiece, but executing a tile-forward design with contrasting surfaces isn’t something you can “wing.” The challenge was achieving a refined, intentional look where the tilework feels cohesive, the transitions are clean, and small details don’t distract from the overall luxury.
When tile leads the design, the difference is in the details: alignment, transitions, grout, and finish coordination. Here’s how the space changed from dated and tight to bright, intentional, and spa-like.
A Truly Collaborative, Detail-Driven Design-Build Process
Instead of forcing an off-the-shelf plan, the team treated the design as a collaboration, refining materials, aligning finishes, and dialing in the smallest variables so the final space felt effortless. We even tested the grout across multiple samples to ensure it complemented the tile combination. With a clear tile hierarchy, floating cabinetry to keep the room visually open, and modern fixtures and lighting to tie everything together, the remodel delivers the homeowner’s goal: a tile-forward, modern retreat that feels spectacular in everyday use.
