Falls Churchs Foxcraft Design Group may soon have to remodel its trophy case to accommodate all its recent awards.

It has received a national first-place award from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry for a residential bathroom project costing more than $60,000, two national magazine awards, and regional and districts awards, too.

What did Foxcraft do, and whats trending now in remodeling?

Foxcrafts Jim Lynch who designed and modeled the bathroom project in Great Falls, said the companys winning design emphasized light and natural elements.

Before improvements, the bathroom was all cut up in little categories, with two walk-in closets, two small vanities, a toilet in a compartment, and an enormous whirlpool which nobody ever used but which received all the natural lighting.

Foxcraft increased the shower size, combined the closets and installed shoji screens which hide the toilet and permit natural light to flow in the closet, giving the bathroom an Asian feel.

Dan Dalrymple, Foxcrafts project manager, said a popular bathroom trend is heated floors which may be found in all rooms in some houses.

But the chief trend in remodeling these days is the open concept combining the kitchen, den, and living room, Lynch said.

In the past gentlemen sat in the living room while ladies cooked in the kitchen which he compared to sterling silver and linens which no one uses now.
