When this Springbank Hill family called us, they weren’t sure what the process was like to work with a designer. They had gone through the process of building their custom home and renovating their basement on their own, and they were looking forward to renovating with a designer’s touch.
Their kids are getting older, and it was time to update the home to fit their new stage in life and their current tastes.
Add a beverage station to the kitchen. They are coffee drinkers (like us!)
Update their dark cabinets to match their calm, modern aesthetic.
Add statement elements. They did not want anything that would appear cookie-cutter or the same as their neighbours.
Improve storage and functionality of the laundry/ mudroom.
Update the fireplace without taking up additional space inside the living room.
Consider space for built-in audio systems as the family uses the living room space to enjoy music and community rather than television.
Update powder room.
Replace trim/ baseboards & paint throughout.
Refinish or replace hardwood flooring.
Reconfigured the kitchen layout for better flow and functionality with two-tone custom millwork.
Installed a custom bronze hood fan and a full-wall stone slab backsplash for dramatic effect.
Added a beverage station with panel-ready wine fridge, fridge/freezer drawers, and breathtaking stonework.
Included thoughtful accessories like pullout pantries, spice drawers, and appliance garages for ultimate efficiency.
Introduced vertical wood slats and a built-in bench to define the kitchen nook with warmth and texture.
Designed a space-saving fireplace in Italian porcelain with lime plaster, floating shelves, and valance lighting.
Transformed the powder room with a floating vanity, backlit mirror, and bold, easy-care wallpaper.
Removed the pass-through pantry, replacing it with functional millwork in both kitchen and laundry.
Updated lighting throughout, including under-mounted and designer fixtures.
Replaced flooring, stairs, railings, trim, and paint for a complete main floor refresh.
