If you are familiar with Gilford and the Lakes Region, chances are you’ve been to the Samoset Condos at Lake Winnipesaukee. The Lighthouse Contracting team has spent several months of 2021 at Samoset working on small kitchen and bath remodels.
Our latest remodel was a 1274 square foot condo. The homeowner’s goals were the following:
- Taller vanity in the half bath with new light fixtures
- Update interior doors to insulated shaker style.
- Install custom corner double sink in the kitchen with insta-hot water system.
- Replace the breakfast bar.
- Update kitchen cabinets and countertops.
- Replace the stairs and flooring in kitchen and half bath with engineered hickory hardwood.
Half Bath Remodel
Small design updates to a half bath can make a world of difference. Consider this recent powder room makeover. It had all the necessary basics but lacked in character and design. Since the homeowners were updating the kitchen, it was the perfect time to give the half bath some love.

Bathroom Vanity Upgrades
- DuraSupreme vanity in Hickory Butternut stain.
- Cabinet knobs in Tuscan Bronze.
- Granite countertop.
- Decorative waterfall spout faucet.
Bathroom Flooring and Door Upgrades
- Removed tile floor and replaced with engineered hickory hardwood.
- Floors now match the kitchen and decorative features in the condo.
- New shaker style door with bronze fixtures gives the bathroom entrance an updated appearance.
Small Kitchen Remodel
A small kitchen should be functional and have the appliances and work areas you need to prepare meals. This Samoset kitchen was dimly lit, lacked storage space and proper kitchen organization.

Kitchen Upgrades
- Expanded kitchen by incorporating glass in the cabinets.
- Illuminated the food prep area with task lighting underneath the upper cabinets and bar top.
- Updated the design with DuraSupreme cabinets in Antique White and granite countertops.
- Created storage space with the removal of breakfast bar in kitchen. Replaced with additional cabinets.
- Installed a Rev-a-Shelf Lazy Daisy Wood Half Moon Lazy Susans to blind corner cabinet.
- Updated the bar overlooking the kitchen with a custom hickory slab bar top. It was stained to match the engineered hickory wood flooring.
- Custom corner double sinks with instant hot water dispenser.
