Porch Addition and Bath Remodel Christiansburg, Virginia
The addition of the porch roof adds both aesthetic appeal and useful outdoor space to this home. The light color of the tile floor helps brighten this modest bathroom.
This stained maple cabinet and dark cultured marble top set off against the lighter backgrounds.
The slim wall mounted heater allows the newly remodeled space to be much warmer without additional duct work.
