Recent Project Highlight: A Knollwood Country Club Area Refresh
We recently completed a stunning bathroom update for a ranch home built in the 1960s, nestled near the Knollwood Country Club in Lake Bluff. The original bathroom, though well-maintained, featured avocado-colored tile and an outdated vanity that felt disconnected from the home's otherwise charming interior. The homeowners wanted a bright, modern refresh that respected the home's mid-century origins while bringing it into the 21st century.
Our team, working with our trusted tile and paint specialists, transformed the space in just under two weeks. We replaced the old tile with large-format porcelain in a classic grey, extending it seamlessly onto the shower walls. A new, custom-built vanity with quartz countertops and updated brushed nickel fixtures instantly elevated the aesthetic. A fresh coat of crisp white paint and contemporary LED lighting completed the transformation. The homeowners were thrilled with the quick turnaround and the sophisticated, yet timeless, look that revitalized their main bathroom without the need for a full bathroom remodel.
What Our Lake Bluff Neighbors Say
"We needed our master bathroom updated desperately. It was stuck in the 80s! Lake & Oak Co. came in and just made everything so easy. From picking out the new vanity to the gorgeous subway tile in the shower, they handled it all. The best part? It was done in about a week and a half, just like they said. Living in East Lake Bluff, we really appreciate a contractor who is reliable and knows how to get things done right. Our new bathroom feels so much bigger and brighter."
— Eleanor Vance, East Lake Bluff
"Our guest bathroom had seen better days, and we wanted something clean and modern for visitors. Lake & Oak Co. provided a clear quote and timeline, which was incredibly helpful. They replaced everything from the floor tile to the toilet and vanity, and even refreshed the paint. The specialists they brought in were professional and tidy. As residents of Lake Bluff for decades, we've dealt with our share of home projects, and this was one of the smoothest. Highly recommend for any bathroom remodel needs."
