A previous client called us to renovate a bath in their Waltham Highlands home. The house has a storied history. Built in 1900, the home was originally part of a farm near the Central Mass Railroad. There is still an old train station nearby. The house is closest to a Victorian Shingle – popular in the United States from 1840 to 1900. Although the goal was to update the bathroom, the homeowners still wanted to keep a period feel in the space. We worked with her to choose components that reflect the period but with all the modern convenience’s of today’s homes.
The William Morris wallpaper, Golden Lily, became the guiding decorative element of the bathroom. The Feinmann design team reallocated space from the adjacent study to enlarge the bathroom, specifically the shower enclosure. The vanity and another storage piece were designed to look like pieces of furniture with rubbed bronze hardware. The vanity and “highboy” cabinet were created through Greenfield with Peacock Green granite surfaces. The mosaic in the shower is composed of handmade tiles. The floor is Honey Onyx and Olivine in a basketweave pattern. The other tile throughout the bath is Neri Bone.

Learn About Design-Build- Cambridge, MAWe loved having entire Feinmann team in our home and appreciated them treating it like it was their own. The work they did is all over-the-top gorgeous. They coached us to select products and finishes that will last a lifetime (and through our toddler), and the craftsmanship with which it was all executed certainly will hold up to time. I admire daily the integration of existing and new, and regret only that in time I’ll likely forget which is which. Feinmann is masterful at what they do. I really can’t say enough nice things about them, and their work.
- Leveling Up for Grand EntertainingFrom start to finish of the project our ideas were heard and creatively addressed. The quality of the final results are even better than we imagined. Our home feels completely new and we love the improved living space! As far as the team, they are fantastic, personable, timely, has great ideas and always seem to stay calm and in charge, ready to problem solve. The carpenters are a delight to work with and the quality of their carpentry and building skills are impressive, always smiling and offering a “can do” attitude.
- European, Contemporary Kitchen RemodelFeinmann is a top-notch company in every category! We have worked with them on three separate occasions: a complete kitchen remodel (2017), three bathrooms (2016), and a room addition (2011). Working with the Feinmann team was truly a great pleasure! Everyone in the company is committed to quality work, the projects were run proficiently and professionally, they provided the highest quality workmanship, and we always received timely responses to our questions and concerns. My wife and I would consider no-one else for our new project!
- Hosting Haven Meets Artistic AnglesWe are very happy with the experience we had with Feinmann in what was a pretty extensive remodel. First of all, their design team truly developed a great vision for the house, beyond what we had imagined. Through the remodel, which by its nature is an arduous process (living without a kitchen for a while), the Feinmann team was very collaborative and supportive, managed well and the results have truly transformed our house. We’re extremely happy with the outcome.
- White, Waves and Blue KitchenFeinmann took a real interest in building a kitchen that would fit the design of the house and meet our needs. That was when we knew that they were the best choice for us. Anyone can rip out a kitchen and put in some new counters and cabinets, but we wanted someone who cared about design, style, and function.
