My client purchased this condo and was immediately ready to make it his own. The primary bath and kitchen were priority, with big changes in store. The original bathroom was split into two rooms - one for the sink area, and another for the toilet and shower. The original kitchen was closed off to the rest of the living area, and was missing out on tremendous views. So we took some walls down!

BEFORE

Everything was removed, and much was relocated. The wall coming down in the kitchen made way for a large peninsula with the sink overlooking the great room and the view. Countertops out of quartz material were extended into a waterfall edge on the peninsula and a full height backsplash to give elegance as well as ultimate durability. The new appliance locations and purposeful storage placement improved the flow for this avid cook.

In the bathroom, having the wall taken out made it feel like a whole new world. The tub was removed to allow for a large shower with large format tiles and a luxurious shower tower. New finishes gave the space a fresh start, and the improved materials will last for many years. Yay, design!

AFTER

Cheers! Yay, design!

This home is a family treasure; my client’s grandmother originally lived there, and my client now has the joy of keeping it in the family. The kitchen was original to the home and was in need of a refresh. My client wished to infuse new life into the space, adding to the home’s longevity.

AFTER

The space originally had a wall between the kitchen and a large front entry. With the wall gone, the space is much more welcoming, and allows for a permanent kitchen island and designated eating area. The client already had the kitchen layout established when I joined the project; I gave it the thumbs up and provided design solutions for the finishes and fixtures. We are thrilled with the rich tone of the cabinetry and how it contrasts with the variation in the flooring. And who doesn’t love a nice pop of blue in a glass tile backsplash?
