Your backsplash has a job to do… but that doesn’t mean it can’t look good doing it, especially behind the cooktop.

That area sees it ALL. Tomato sauce splatters, grease, steam, the occasional dinner that got a little too ambitious. So yes, you want a backsplash that is practical and easy to clean. But you also want it to be a design feature.

A beautiful tile pattern, a statement slab, or even a simple classic tile can completely change the look of your kitchen. Here’s the fun part: the backsplash is one of those places where you can bring in a little personality without committing to a whole trendy kitchen.

Let’s be honest, you can have beautiful cabinets and gorgeous countertops, but if the backsplash feels like an afterthought, the whole room can feel unfinished.

The right backsplash should work hard AND look good doing it. Kind of like the women running the kitchen. 😉

Have you considered a light up full length mirror in your bathroom? Because once you see one in person you will never want anything else.

The difference is immediate and it is significant. Natural even lighting that eliminates the shadows and unflattering overhead glare that most bathroom mirrors create. A full length view that makes getting ready feel more intentional and less rushed. A mirror that doubles as a statement piece and elevates the entire feel of the room without adding a single piece of furniture to the space.

Functional. Stunning. And one of those details that makes everyday life feel just a little more luxurious than the day before. Nicole loves incorporating these into bathroom designs and would love to show you what one could look like in yours. Come see us in Cary and let's talk details.

08/31/2026

The difference between a bathroom that looks nice and a bathroom that feels extraordinary lives entirely in the details. The color palette that creates a sense of calm the moment you walk through the door. The hardware that ties every element of the space together the way the right jewelry completes an outfit. The tile that works with the vanity finish instead of simply sitting beside it. These are not small decisions. They are the decisions that determine whether your finished bathroom feels intentional and personal or just updated. Nicole approaches every single one of them with the eye of a trained designer and the knowledge of someone who understands exactly how they all have to work together before a single piece is ever ordered.

Function lives in the details just as much as beauty does. The shelf built into the shower wall that keeps the surface clear and the experience calm. The drawer depth that actually accommodates what you need to store in it. The lighting layered thoughtfully so the space feels bright and energizing in the morning and warm and restorative in the evening. The hardware placed at exactly the right height because someone thought about how this bathroom would be used every single day rather than only how it would look on reveal day. At The Bath Remodeling Center beauty and function are designed together from the very first conversation because a bathroom that looks stunning but does not work for your life is never truly finished.

This is the level of detail that waits for you on the other side of one conversation with Nicole in our Cary design center. Every color considered. Every hardware finish chosen in context. Every functional decision made around how you actually live in your space. Come experience what it feels like to have every single detail working together perfectly in a bathroom that was designed completely around you. Reach out today and let's get started.

Stop hating your bathroom. You deserve so much better than that.

Maybe you have learned to live with it. You know where every frustration lives, the cold tile under your feet on a January morning, the shower that never quite has everything where you need it, the lack of storage that means something is always sitting somewhere it should not be. You have adapted so well to a space that does not serve you that you have almost stopped noticing how much you deserve something different.

But what if you could not even picture what different looked like? What if every time you tried to imagine your bathroom transformed you hit a wall because the space you are standing in makes it almost impossible to see past what is already there?

That is exactly where Nicole steps in. She sees it the moment she walks into your space and she sees it long before a single decision has been made. The version of your bathroom that exists on the other side of this transformation, the one you cannot quite picture yet, that is where Nicole lives professionally every single day.

Look at this after!!!!!!

Step inside for just a moment. The floors are warm under your feet from the moment you walk in because heated floors were designed into this space from the very beginning. N The kind of detail that changes how your entire morning begins on a cold winter day when every small comfort matters more than you ever think to say out loud.

The shower is a whole experience on its own. Multiple shower heads positioned to hit exactly where they should. Built in shelves that keep every product exactly where it belongs without a single bottle cluttering the floor or balancing precariously on a ledge. A built in spot to rest your foot when you need it, designed in quietly and purposefully because someone thought about how you actually use this space rather than just how it would look in a photograph.

Now this tub needs a moment!!!!

It sits in this bathroom the way a great piece of furniture sits in a beautifully designed room. It does not just exist in the space , it defines it. Sculptural, generous, and completely irresistible in a way that makes the idea of an evening to yourself in your own bathroom feel less like a fantasy and more like something you would actually do tonight.

Storage is everywhere. Built in, thoughtful, and completely invisible until you need it because a beautiful bathroom that has nowhere to put anything is just a beautiful inconvenience. This one has a place for everything, which means the surfaces stay exactly the way they look in this photo every single day. Not just on the day it was photographed. Every day.

This bathroom did not happen by accident. It happened because someone sat down with Nicole, described how they wanted to feel in their space, and trusted her to see the rest. Nicole designed every detail around the life being lived inside this home and the result is a bathroom that is not just stunning to look at but genuinely luxurious to be inside from the very first moment of the morning to the very last moment of the day.

Your bathroom can feel like this. Nicole already sees it.

The only thing left is for you to reach out and let her show you.

Can we talk about the kitchen corner for a second?

You know the one. That deep dark cabinet in the corner that somehow manages to swallow everything you put into it and give nothing back. The pot lid you have not seen since last Thanksgiving. The appliance you definitely own but could not locate if your life depended on it. The cabinet you open, stare into, sigh quietly, and close again because getting to anything in the back requires a level of commitment you simply do not have on a Tuesday night before dinner.

For years the lazy susan was the answer the industry offered for this problem. A rotating tray that spins your items in a circle and still somehow manages to leave half the space completely unusable while sending things tumbling into the abyss every time it catches on the cabinet door.

There is a better solution. A much better one.

A corner shelving system designed and fitted specifically to your exact cabinet space. Not a one size fits all rotating tray dropped into whatever corner it is given. A system that is built to use every single inch of that corner intentionally: pulling out, swinging forward, and presenting your items to you clearly and completely rather than hiding them somewhere in the dark at the back of a cabinet you have quietly given up on.

Everything visible. Everything accessible. Everything exactly where you need it without getting on your knees and reaching into the unknown hoping for the best.

This is the kind of detail Nicole thinks about in every single kitchen design consultation. The storage solutions that solve the problems you have been living with so long you stopped noticing they were problems. The decisions that make your kitchen feel completely different to use every single day not just completely different to look at.

Your kitchen corner has been wasted long enough. Come into our Cary design center and let Nicole show you what is possible in your specific space. We would love to design a kitchen that finally works as beautifully as it looks.

A beautiful bathroom that does not work for your life is just a very expensive inconvenience.

This is something Nicole thinks about from the very first conversation with every single client. Because it is incredibly easy to design a bathroom that photographs beautifully and wins every compliment from every guest who sees it. What is harder , and what matters so much more, is designing a bathroom that works perfectly for the person who uses it every single morning before the rest of the world wakes up.

Where does everything actually live in your current bathroom and why does it frustrate you? Where do you wish you had more storage and where does the layout work against you? How does the lighting feel at six in the morning when you are getting ready for the day versus in the evening when you want the space to feel calm and restorative? These are the questions Nicole asks before a single tile is ever considered.

The answers shape everything. Storage that is thoughtfully placed rather than just added. Lighting that layers beautifully across different times of day. A shower designed around how you actually use it rather than what simply looks stunning in a photo. A layout that flows naturally and makes every part of your morning routine feel effortless rather than like something to navigate around.

At The Bath Remodeling Center beauty and function are never in competition. They are always the same goal. Nicole brings both a designer's eye and a licensed contractor's knowledge to every bathroom she creates, which means the space that looks stunning on reveal day is also the space that performs perfectly on every ordinary Tuesday morning for the next twenty years.

This is what a truly well designed bathroom feels like. Come into our Cary showroom and let's start designing yours.

If you have been on the fence about a workstation sink let this be the post that helps you decide.

There is a reason these sinks have become one of the most requested features in kitchen remodels right now and it has nothing to do with following a trend. It has everything to do with how incredibly well they work for the way real families actually use their kitchen every single day.

A workstation sink is exactly what the name promises. A sink that functions as a true workspace built right into your kitchen. The built in ledges that sit perfectly across the sink allow you to prep, rinse, drain, and organize all in one beautifully contained space. A cutting board that fits perfectly across the top so you can prep ingredients and slide them directly into the bowl below. A colander that drops right in for rinsing produce without taking up counter space. A drying rack that lives exactly where it makes the most sense rather than taking over precious counter real estate somewhere else in the kitchen.

The result is a kitchen that works more efficiently, stays more organized, and requires significantly less back and forth across the room during meal prep. For homeowners who spend real time cooking and want their kitchen to genuinely support that.... this sink changes everything.

And then there is how it looks.

A workstation sink has a presence in a kitchen that a standard sink simply does not. Deep. Substantial. Beautifully proportioned in a way that anchors the entire sink area and makes the surrounding cabinetry and countertops look even more intentional alongside it. It photographs beautifully, impresses every guest who sees it, and becomes one of the first things homeowners mention when they are telling someone about their remodel.

Nicole incorporates workstation sinks into kitchen designs for clients who want both the beauty and the function because at The Bath Remodeling Center those two things are always the same goal. Come into our Cary showroom and let's talk about whether this is the right choice for your kitchen.

Look at these two bathrooms and ask yourself which one you wake up to every morning.

The before is a room most homeowners know all too well. Functional enough to get through the morning routine but never once inspiring. A space you move through on autopilot because nothing about it invites you to slow down, take a breath, and actually enjoy the start of your day. Dated finishes. Lighting that does the bare minimum. A room that has served its purpose for years without ever truly serving you.

The after is something completely different.

A primary bathroom that feels like it was made specifically for the person walking into it every single morning. Warm and welcoming from the moment you open the door. Beautiful in a way that feels personal and intentional rather than pulled from a catalog. A space that makes you want to linger just a little longer because everything about it is exactly right.

Here is what we want every homeowner reading this to hear today. You are worth this. Not someday. Not when the timing is perfect or the budget feels completely comfortable or the stars align in exactly the right way. Now. The space where you begin every single day of your life deserves the same level of care and intention you pour into everything else.

You have worked hard for your home. Your primary bathroom should reflect that. It should feel like a reward every single morning rather than a reminder of something you keep meaning to get around to.

Nicole and the team at The Bath Remodeling Center are ready to make this happen for you. One conversation in our Cary design center is all it takes to start seeing what is possible in your space. You deserve a bathroom you love. Let us help you get there.

What if your counters could be completely clear and your devices always fully charged?

That is exactly what we design into our kitchens at The Bath Remodeling Center and once you have it you will never understand how you lived without it.

Think about your kitchen counters right now. The phone charging in the corner. The tablet propped up against the backsplash. The tangled cables that somehow always end up exactly where you are trying to prep dinner. The clutter that no amount of tidying seems to permanently fix because the stuff just keeps coming back.

Now imagine a discreet hideaway built right into your cabinetry. A dedicated charging station tucked completely out of sight with space for every device your family uses. You open a small door, plug everything in, close it, and your counters are clear. Completely, beautifully, permanently clear. Your kitchen looks exactly the way it did in those design photos you saved — clean, calm, and intentional from every angle.

This is the kind of detail Nicole thinks about during every kitchen design consultation. Not just what looks beautiful but what makes daily life genuinely easier and more enjoyable. The storage solutions that solve real problems. The design decisions that feel small in conversation and enormous in practice once you are actually living with them every single day.

This is what it means to design a kitchen around how you actually live.

Come into our Cary showroom and let's talk about all the details that will make your kitchen work harder and look better than you ever imagined.
