The room you start every day in, designed properly.
A bathroom is small, used twice a day, and unforgiving of a bad decision. Virginia plans the layout, the stone, the light, and the fittings as one thing, so the finished room feels calm instead of assembled.
A bathroom shows every decision you did not make on purpose.
You see the whole room from the doorway. A tile that stops in the wrong place, a vanity that blocks a drawer, a mirror lit from directly above and flattering nobody. None of it gets softened by furniture later, because there is no furniture. It works, or you look at it every morning for fifteen years.
- Fixtures picked one at a time, in different metals, from different shops.
- A layout that technically fits but leaves nowhere to put anything.
- Demolition starting before the tile has arrived, and the room sitting open.
The room this started as.
A full rebuild, planned before anything came out.
A tired shower to marble and glass
A full rebuild in marble, with a niche sized to what actually gets used and a frameless glass door.
Everything decided before anything is ordered.
A layout that uses every inch
A bathroom has less room to hide a mistake than any other space in the house. We plan the fixtures, the door swing, the storage, and the sightline from the doorway before anything is ordered.
Stone and tile chosen together
Marble, quartzite, porcelain, and tile are selected as one palette, with the veining and the layout decided on paper rather than by whoever is holding the trowel that morning.
Vanities and storage specified
Custom and semi-custom vanity cabinetry, from the same trusted lines we use in the kitchen. Drawn to the inch, so the drawers clear the plumbing and the storage fits how the room is really used.
Lighting that is actually flattering
Most bathrooms are lit from directly overhead, which is the least forgiving light there is. We plan layered lighting at the mirror and in the room so the space works morning and night.
Fixtures and finishes sourced
Faucets, shower fittings, hardware, mirrors, and glass selected and sourced as a set, in one metal story, so the finished room reads as intentional.
One designer accountable
The same accountability as a Tesi kitchen. Optional build management keeps Virginia coordinating trades through installation.
Stone, glass, and light, working together.
Six choices decide most of a bathroom budget.
We are straight about cost from the first conversation. These are the decisions that actually move the number, and we walk through all of them before you commit to anything.
- ·Whether the plumbing stays where it is or the layout changes
- ·Tile and stone selection, and how much full-height stone is used
- ·Shower glass, especially frameless panels and custom sizes
- ·Vanity cabinetry, whether stock, semi-custom, or fully custom
- ·Fixtures and fittings, which vary enormously across the same function
- ·Heated floors, niches, benches, and the level of built-in detail

Charlotte bathroom questions, answered
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Charlotte?
It depends far more on scope than on square footage. Moving plumbing, using full-height stone, and adding frameless glass are the three choices that move a bathroom budget most. Rather than quote you a range that may not fit your project, Virginia gives you an honest read on cost at the first visit, which is free.
Is the first visit really free?
Yes. Virginia comes to see the space, listens to how you use it, and tells you what the project involves. There is no fee and no obligation. Design work begins later, once you decide to hire her.
Do you design primary baths only, or smaller ones too?
Both. Primary baths, guest baths, and powder rooms. A powder room is often where a designer's eye shows most, because the whole room is visible at once and there is nowhere for a compromise to hide.
Can you do a bathroom without doing my kitchen?
Yes. Many clients start with a bathroom. There is no requirement to bundle it with anything else.
How long does a bathroom take?
Less than a kitchen, but the order is the same. Design and selections first. Then materials ordered and delivered. Then construction. We never start demolition before the materials are in hand, and that one rule prevents most of the horror stories.
Do you work with my builder?
Yes. If you already have a contractor you trust, we provide a buildable plan and stay involved to protect the design through installation.
What areas do you serve?
Charlotte and the surrounding communities, including Myers Park, Eastover, SouthPark, Dilworth, Cotswold, Ballantyne, Matthews, Waxhaw, Weddington, and the Lake Norman towns of Davidson and Cornelius. We work by appointment.
