Modular Home Guest Bath - Fine Homebuilding

Cushman Design Group Photo by Susan Teare Sign up for eletters today and get the latest how-to from Fine Homebuilding, plus special offers. This photo captures the main level guest bathroom in a modular, net-zero ready Vermont home.    Cushman Design Group designed the net-zero ready house in coordination with Huntington Homes who built, assembled, and finished the modular structure. The project was driven by the homeowners’ curiosity in interior design.  They worked closely with the design team to create a classy and appealing bathroom.   The main wall is made of ledge stone tile with Hubbardton Forge  wall sconces and a cherry framed mirror.  The vessel sink rests on top of a cherry counter top.

the job site & the volvo

once upon a time there was a 1991 Volvo 240 that sputtered 3,000 miles from New York to California. I’m talking about my clunker, affectionately called NormaJean. over the past 15 years she has inadvertently appeared in many photos of projects (before, during, and after) I’ve worked on in San Francisco and beyond. as embarrassing as it may have been to screech up to a half million dollar project in that, she’s still around. I decided to dig through the archives and post photos. she’s not always at center but see if you can spot her in there, smiling for the camera 🙂 2004, Cole Valley SF: 2005, Menlo Park: 2006, Pacific Heights SF:  2009, Foster City: 2010, Mill Valley: 2012, San Francisco: 2012, San Francisco: 2012, Belmont: 2013, Mountain View: 2013, Angwin: 2014, Noe Valley SF: 2016, Mill Valley: 2017, Arnold: the end for now – but not the end of Norma Jean!
