Du Bois Design LtdThis laundry was designed several months after the kitchen renovation - a cohesive look was needed to flow to make it look like it was done at the same time. Similar materials were chosen but with individual flare and interest. This space is multi functional not only providing a space as a laundry but as a separate pantry room for the kitchen - it also includes an integrated pull out drawer fridge.
Katie Hutchison StudioConstructed in two phases, this renovation, with a few small additions, touched nearly every room in this late ‘50’s ranch house. The owners raised their family within the original walls and love the house’s location, which is not far from town and also borders conservation land. But they didn’t love how chopped up the house was and the lack of exposure to natural daylight and views of the lush rear woods. Plus, they were ready to de-clutter for a more stream-lined look. As a result, KHS collaborated with them to create a quiet, clean design to support the lifestyle they aspire to in retirement.
To transform the original ranch house, KHS proposed several significant changes that would make way for a number of related improvements. Proposed changes included the removal of the attached enclosed breezeway (which had included a stair to the basement living space) and the two-car garage it partially wrapped, which had blocked vital eastern daylight from accessing the interior. Together the breezeway and garage had also contributed to a long, flush front façade. In its stead, KHS proposed a new two-car carport, attached storage shed, and exterior basement stair in a new location. The carport is bumped closer to the street to relieve the flush front facade and to allow access behind it to eastern daylight in a relocated rear kitchen. KHS also proposed a new, single, more prominent front entry, closer to the driveway to replace the former secondary entrance into the dark breezeway and a more formal main entrance that had been located much farther down the facade and curiously bordered the bedroom wing.
Inside, low ceilings and soffits in the primary family common areas were removed to create a cathedral ceiling (with rod ties) over a reconfigured semi-open living, dining, and kitchen space. A new gas fireplace serving the relocated dining area -- defined by a new built-in banquette in a new bay window -- was designed to back up on the existing wood-burning fireplace that continues to serve the living area. A shared full bath, serving two guest bedrooms on the main level, was reconfigured, and additional square footage was captured for a reconfigured master bathroom off the existing master bedroom. A new whole-house color palette, including new finishes and new cabinetry, complete the transformation. Today, the owners enjoy a fresh and airy re-imagining of their familiar ranch house.

Cathie Hong InteriorsThis 1960s home was in original condition and badly in need of some functional and cosmetic updates. We opened up the great room into an open concept space, converted the half bathroom downstairs into a full bath, and updated finishes all throughout with finishes that felt period-appropriate and reflective of the owner's Asian heritage.

The Design Den Homes Inc.We needed a second laundry area. This under utilized closet was the perfect spot to tuck away a highly functional laundry space.
Cabinet-S-TopIn this Mid-Century Modern home, the master bath was updated with a custom laminate vanity in Pionite Greige with a Suede finish with a bloom tip-on drawer and door system. The countertop is 2cm Sahara Beige quartz. The tile surrounding the vanity is WOW 2x6 Bejmat Tan tile. The shower walls are WOW 6x6 Bejmat Biscuit tile with 2x6 Bejmat tile in the niche. A Hansgrohe faucet, tub faucet, hand held shower, and slide bar in brushed nickel. A TOTO undermount sink, Moen grab bars, Robern swing door medicine cabinet and magnifying mirror, and TOTO one piece automated flushing toilet. The bedroom wall leading into the bathroom is a custom monolithic formica wall in Pumice with lateral swinging Lamp Monoflat Lin-X hinge door series. The client provided 50-year-old 3x6 red brick tile for the bathroom and 50-year-old oak bammapara parquet flooring in the bedroom. In the bedroom, two Rakks Black shelving racks and Stainless Steel Cable System were installed in the loft and a Stor-X closet system was installed.
