This client came to us with a small, dated primary bath that just wasn’t earning its keep. Everyday day started and ended in a space that didn’t feel like theirs. Our brief: transform the everyday into a retreat they’d actually look forward to within the same footprint.

We added built-in shelving for extra storage and styling, paired with a freestanding soaking tub tucked beneath the window, a custom oak vanity with brushed brass hardware, and a marble-clad shower and floor that turns ordinary morning routines into a luxury experience that’s worth slowing down for. Layered brass lighting, curated shelf styling, and soft linen curtains bring in warmth without sacrificing an inch of function.

Small footprint, big transformation. This is what happens when interior design & construction live under one roof. See before photos in stories 🤍

We know we’re a little extra and we’re okay with that because normal was never the goal anyway.

We don’t stop until you’re sitting on your sofa, in your fully finished and styled home wondering why you ever thought it had to be harder than this.

Big news for North Carolina. 🇺🇸

President Trump just announced plans to bring furniture manufacturing back to NC — making it the furniture capital of the world once again.

And honestly? We couldn’t be more proud.

But here’s what we want you to know: you don’t have to wait. North Carolina and American furniture makers are already here, already building, and already making some of the most beautiful, durable, and comfortable furniture available anywhere. You just won’t find it at a big box chain store.

At Freshwater, we’ve been sourcing from US manufacturers and local artisans all along — pieces that are more comfortable, more customizable, and built to last. And in many cases at a comparable price point.
Every time you skip the chain store and shop local, you’re supporting two things at once — an American maker and a local business.

One of the reasons that we opened is to make these pieces available to everyone. If you haven’t been in, come feel the difference. If you’ve already purchased from us — you already know. 🤍
Thank you for your support. It means everything.
