Judged by editors and writers of Better Homes & Gardens, Woman's Day, Southern Living and The American Institute of Building Design, the winners were selected from over 271 entries from 50 states. The entries were judged on overall design, the creative use of space and materials, and the degree to which the project enhanced the original structure.
This year, Urban Homes, Inc. of New York, NY won the award for:
Best Project - Bath Remodel Under $40,000
The project required a complete master bathroom renovation. The existing space resembled that of a 1980's hotel bathroom, consisting of stained marble walls, low lighting, and one large mirror above the vanity. The process began with the selection of cabinets from the Luxor Collection. All existing tiles and plumbing fixtures were demolished and disposed of. The ceramic tile floor and walls were furnished and installed. Plumbing fixtures were furnished and installed. To complete the project, the cabinets, countertop, and light fixtures were furnished and installed.
"This is the second consecutive year in which they have won an award, which demonstrates their ongoing commitment to excellence," says Ken Kanline, Director of the Awards.
The Chrysalis Awards program, begun in 1994, recognizes the nation's best work in seventeen categories of residential remodeling.
