Touring the Kohler Showroom and Factory in Kohler, WI

Project: Bob's Shingle Style Home, Episode 18, Part 2



The plumber installs a new toilet and vanity in the powder room, and we take a tour of the Kohler factory in Wisconsin where these fixtures are made.  Elaborate, custom California Closets are being installed in the master bedroom suite while a versatile, white Melamine system is assembled in Bob’s daughter’s bedroom closet.

Part 1: Reviewing the Front Porch, and Installing Interior Columns and a Vanity
Part 2: Touring the Kohler Showroom and Factory in Kohler, WI
Bob tours the showroom in Kohler, WI, with the founder's great-granddaughter, Laura Kohler. Bob asks to see some of the new products and talks about using some of their reproduction pieces in his home. He then visits the factory to see how the vitreous china is manufactured.
Part 3: Looking at New Bedroom Closets
This project centers around the remodel of Bob Vila's own gracious Shingle Style home in Cambridge, MA. It's a house with a lot of history and beautiful architectural details, many of which were obliterated in remodels of the 50s and the 70s. On the centennial of the house's construction, Bob gets together the best talents in the business to recreate and renew it to its former glory, making some important modifications along the way that will transform this into a dream house for today.
