In 2009 with the help of the then Obama Stimulus Package a young professional purchased his first home in Portland, Oregon’s vibrant Mississippi District. Still a transitioning neighborhood, the 1911-built craftsman home was a quintessential neglected “fixer” but had incredible bones as a once stunning and exemplary turn-of-the-century craftsman home.

Working on a tight budget, Life Design Build focused its efforts on the house’s most in-need room, the ground-level bathroom. With the help of Portland’s iconic Rebuilding Center and craftsman era inspired fixtures from Rejuvenation the bathroom was brought back to life in short order.
