Kathleen’s Front Entrance

From Frumpy to Fabulous

The original layout of this home consisted of small, boxy rooms.  We opened up almost all the walls on the main floor to create a more modern & airy feel.  The homeowner is a single mom with two busy boys.  We were looking to create a more modern feel but nothing too precocious. The home lacked storage solutions of any kind.  The long narrow living room was downsized to create two floor to ceiling closets facing the front entrance hall.  You hardly miss the space at all in the living room and now there’s room for all the stuff of life.  A custom bench with hooks right inside the door, provides a quick ‘grab and go’ spot for every day items such as backpacks, keys and purses.  A small custom cabinet was made for the front foyer area. Tri-colour hexagonal tile was installed in the entrance & hallway in a fun pattern and an organic tradition ties the two materials together.

Kristen’s Laundry Room

Out of the box idea to create a foyer where there was none.

This charming home had a problem common to many Hintonburg homes, the front door opened directly into the living room.  No front closet and a tiny square of tile to land on.  We build a 2/3 wall to create an entrance area without blocking the light from the front window.  This small change allows for a large area of tile for boots, bikes and pets as well as a wall for hooks and a wardrobe for storage. The tile is a wood grained ceramic which was laid in a herringbone pattern with a border.  Sturdy brass hooks handle items used daily while an IKEA wardrobe keeps extra coats and footwear out of sight. The living room side of the 2/3 wall was covered in a whimsical ostrich wallpaper.  The grey and yellow colour scheme is young and fresh and because this is a lady’s space, we added some glam with a gold glided mirror.

From Frumpy to Fabulous

The original layout of this home consisted of small, boxy rooms.  We opened up almost all the walls on the main floor to create a more modern & airy feel.  The homeowner is a single mom with two busy boys.  We were looking to create a more modern feel but nothing too precocious. The home lacked storage solutions of any kind.  The long narrow living room was downsized to create two floor to ceiling closets facing the front entrance hall.  You hardly miss the space at all in the living room and now there’s room for all the stuff of life.  Worn out hardwood flooring was replaced with a fresh, lighter hardwood. A pop of colour (Farrow & Ball – Blue Ground) was added to highlight the fireplace
