What is behind that beautiful blue door? 🤔

Well my friends behind that beautiful blue door is a gorgeous new walk in pantry that includes tons of storage, a full sized fridge, a dishwasher, a full sized sink and a full sized garbage/greens/recycling pull out drawer!💃🏻

Swipe ➡️ to see how we opened up this wall to access the space that used to be an unused dining room behind the kitchen 🙌

Happy Snow Day #2 Toronto! ❄️

As we spend another cozy day at home. I wanted to share another before and after. ✨

We are often asked to use our clients existing furniture to work into the new design. Here is a great example of this, swipe for the before ➡️

With the new layout, a gorgeous new carpet, throw pillows and the right accessories my client’s existing furniture has a fabulous new look! 🙌

There is so much joy and satisfaction when breathing new life into a clients cherished piece of furniture. ✨

This dining table was a vintage find that my clients had brought with them when they moved back to Canada from Ireland. 💫

A fresh coat of paint, a move from the former breakfast room to the new dining area and adorned with these gorgeous dining chairs it looks spectacular! 🙌

Cocktail lounge you say? 🍸

Lawrence Crescent Project ~ This room was formerly an unused dining room smack in the middle of the house off the hallway.

The idea was to divide the former dining room into a pantry accessed from the kitchen and partition this half to access from the hall.

There was much debate about what to use this space for. My thoughts were a mudroom as this is off the main hall and my clients have a busy household with three kids and a dog. Well I was over ruled! They wanted something more “fun” like a cocktail lounge! Hummm ok? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well I have to say it is SPECTACULAR!! This fits my fun and social clients lifestyle way better than a boring old mudroom!! Cheers to that!!🍻🍸🍹🥃 🥂🍾

The work zone ✨ This is where all the action happens!

When designing a kitchen there is so much to consider. The placement of major appliances, traffic flow and work space, flooring, lighting, sink placement and size, faucet function, storage requirements, garbage, recycling, hardware size and placement for function! As designers this is our expertise, we take the guesswork out of the equation! 🙌

Happy New Years Eve! 🥂

It looks like it will be another quiet one celebrating at home with immediate family. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lawrence Cres Project ~ living room/ dining room lounge space ✨ We sectioned the former living room to house this intimate seating area on one side and on the other side, which isn’t shown, the dining area. 💫

As with all of our projects this home’s design and new layout was very much tailored to our client’s specific entertaining and lifestyle needs 🙌

Small updates make a huge impact! 💫

Lawrence Cres Project foyer/hall transformation ➡️ for a glimpse of this hallway before, different angle but it gives you a good idea of what this spot looked like before!

We updated the flooring throughout, new interior doors and hardware, paint, wall scones, mirror and a pretty spot to sit and put your shoes on! ✨

I am beyond excited to share our Lawrence Crescent Project photos! This main floor renovation project was completed just in time for Christmas!

My clients home is a gorgeous original Lawrence Park home that was stuck in a bad 90’s renovation. The obstacles presented to us with pillars, weird angles and all sorts of unexpected surprises behind the walls created some concern about how this would all work out without blowing the budget. Well we did it! 🙌

I have to say that this was one of my all time favourite projects as the before and after is so dramatic and it was such a pleasure working with my amazing, patient, and always grateful clients! 🙌❤️

How is it 10 days to Christmas Eve?! 🎄During this busy time leading up to Christmas, do you have a bedroom that is restful to retreat to at the end of the day? 💫

A supportive mattress, quality bedding, the right lamp for reading, a night table to store your bedside needs, good quality draperies to provide privacy and darkness when needed, a good quality carpet to sink your feet into?

Your bedroom is a sanctuary and it should be restful. When you hire a designer we consider all elements of a room; comfort, function and beauty! ✨
