About Thompson Remodeling's Winning CotY Projects

Residential Bath $50,001-$75,000

Thompson Remodeling CotY Winning Bathroom

For 39 years, the owners of this four-bedroom home lived with a cramped bathroom that hardly deserved to be called a master bath. Its limited space allowed only one user at a time, lacked counter space, and was severely outdated.

The new design is the ultimate marriage of function and style. To start, the space from a seldom-used spare bedroom was captured. A custom floating vanity provides much needed counter space and storage. Multiple light sources provide task, ambient light and natural light.

A claw foot tub serves as the focal point and inspiration for the rest of the finishes. A crystal chandelier and wall sconces add an elegant “bling factor”. The curve of the vessel sinks balance nicely with the straight lines of the vanity. A spa shower provides a soothing option for days when the owner opts for a faster bathing option.

Basement Under $50,000

Thompson Remodeling CotY Winning Basement

This family’s basement had become a catchall space and was sorely underutilized. Although it was spacious, the current layout wasn’t working. The homeowners wanted to transform this space from closed and dreary to open and inviting.

The transformation of this basement is amazing. Walls were opened to create flow between the game room, eating space and theater rooms. One end of a staircase was closed off, enabling the soundproofing of the theater.

A light neutral palette and gorgeous lighting fixtures make you forget that you are in the basement. Unique materials such as galvanized piping, corrugated metal and cool light fixtures give the space an industrial feel.

Now, this basement functions as the great family hang out space the homeowners envisioned!
