Our client was looking to transform this 80-year old neighbourhood gem into their family’s forever home that reflected their busy lifestyle and personality. Having not been renovated in years, a dysfunctional kitchen and bathroom, and lack of mudroom, proved to be a daily challenge for this family.

We started by reimagining the home’s layout, which included relocating the kitchen, adding a large mudroom and powder room, and creating a new great room and home office. To encapsulate the coastal farmhouse vibe the family was searching for, we put in distressed wide-plank hardwood, updated the lighting, added wainscoting, and installed beaded board cabinetry in the kitchen.

The renovation protected the character of the original house, while adding all the needed features that would ensure this busy family could function effortlessly in their new dream home.
