City Line Escape Transformed

Living room refresh with new and old furniture.  My design for this refresh was to add soft colours to the walls, some new accessories, and a new chair and sofa.  Client started with blank walls, improper lighting, and very little accessories.  The existing solid walnut tables that the home owner made were kept and added warmth to the space.  Greenery was added to fill in some of the empty spaces.  The walls were painted in greenish grey colours to add that finishing touch to the space.  In the kitchen, a new backsplash was added and some mouldings on the counter peninsula. 

Main Floor Remodel

This large main floor remodel tackled a open kitchen to the living room and dining room, the laundry room and the master bedroom.  The existing kitchen felt closed off from the rest of the space because of the counter island on the living room side, forced you to walk around the island into the kitchen.  There was a doorway with a sliding door from the kitchen to the laundry room which limited the size of the fridge and the amount of cabinets.  For the remodel, the doorway was closed off and the fridge was set back into the wall to make it appear as a cabinet depth fridge.  We did this by taking some space from the massive laundry room.  Also by closing this doorway, it allowed the client to move the fridge over and created larger cabinets on that wall.  The counter island was moved to the exterior wall and created a larger counter for to allow for seating and entertaining. 
On the main floor, the existing oak flooring was removed and acacia walnut hardwood flooring was installed.  For consistency, this flooring ran thru the kitchen, living, dining, and master bedroom.  In the living room, the existing gas fireplace was removed and a new gas fireplace was installed that allowed zero clearance on the floor and a new fireplace surround was installed for a more modern design.
Even thought the client’s space had a great deal of natural light, every space had all new lighting added to bring light to the space on those dark days.

Guest Suite Refresh

This project was a great transformation. The client was looking for a spacious coastal cottage feel.  To achieve this, I started with the ceiling…the dark burgundy on the ceiling was brightened up by painting the it white. For the rest of the space, I choose a coastal colour scheme, added a floral pattern on the bed and brought in some coastal décor. To bring a cottage feel to the space, wood trim and wood doors replaced the white trim.  

80’s Living Room / Dining Room Transformation

My client wanted to take this blast from the past design and bring it to the future.  They felt it was too dark and old cottage feel.  For the space, the client was looking for a brighter feel with soft colours.  
For the colour scheme, I choose a soft grey for the walls and accented the window wall with a blue and the new furnishings being added are darker tones, so with the lighter colours it would balance the space.  This space is also open to the kitchen and the foyer so I wanted the design to flow into the other spaces with more neutral colours.  The trim was originally a white MDF and was changed to knotty pine stained in a light brown to add that cottage feel.  The ceiling was also updated by painting it white to cover the terracotta colour.  All the furnishings were replaced with pieces the client had.  The art work on the wall was given to the client from their son who had painted it from scenes of the lake.  Since these painting have a great sentimental value, I made this a focal point in the dining area and framed it out with the arrangement on the credenza.  Now the overall design feels light and bright.

The 80’s Transformation

The Uncluttered Refresh

The tropical leaf pillow in the entry way was the inspiration for this design with the flowing palms leaves, blues of the ocean, and beige and creams like the sand. To give the design that tropical breezy feel, I incorporated soft greens, blues, warm wood tones, and creams in the design. Reusing existing pieces of furniture and décor from the space add to the character of this design, like the marble lamps, green fabrics, and beautiful vintage wooden pieces gives the space warmth.

As you walk into this space, the first design element is the addition of a floral wallpaper with a round gold mirror to give a point of interest and a warm and welcoming feel. In the living room, a focal point is created with a grasscloth wallpaper to the one wall that will be highlighted by the vintage wooden side table, the 2 chairs along with the vintage marble lamps. The décor in the living room and the dining room will be accented with gold wall décor, beautiful wooden trays, and other table décor pieces with blues, creams, and greens.  The use of the existing décor pieces will also add to the design elements.
