Repainting the fireplace, installing a new linear terrazzo bench and then creating a unique wood-slat feature wall in the dining area were just a few ways we updated this 1980s Vancouver Special.
Mid-Century Modern Vancouver Special
This home used to be compartmentalized into tinier rooms, with the dining room contained, as well as the kitchen, it was feeling very claustrophobic to the homeowners! For the renovation we opened up the space into one great room with a 19-foot kitchen island with ample space for cooking and...

This terracotta feature wall is one of our favourite areas in the home. To create interest in this special area between the kitchen and open living area, we installed wood pieces on the wall and painted them this gorgeous terracotta colour. The furniture is an eclectic mix of retro and nostalgic...

After taking the original bathroom down to the studs we created a new walk-in shower, designed a new vanity and incorporated modern, playful items such as the mint green sink and the tiger wallpaper (a nod to the homeowner's heritage).

The terracotta-painted wood feature wall and the stone fireplace were both relatively cost-effective updates but they made a huge impact to the overall design look and feel. We replaced the original fireplace hearth with a long linear stone bench to add more entertaining functionality, such as...

We replaced the original fireplace hearth with a long linear stone bench to add more entertaining functionality, such as seating and room for the homeowner's record collection. The original ceiling was an orange-y pine so we replaced it with a white oak that spans the whole ceiling, elongating the...
