The purpose for this renovation was very personal to the client. Originally the home was redecorated by Creative Touch Interiors under the direction of the homeowner’s wife who passed away prior to finalizing plans for further renovations. Because of this pre-existing relationship, the homeowner Len hired Creative Touch for a complete home redesign. The renovation served as a therapeutic way to move forward as well as to honor his wife’s memory.

To creatively make use of space, the original floor plan was kept intact. However, significant updates were made to the kitchen, the main floor living room and downstairs entertainment room as well as cosmetic updates throughout the home. All existing kitchen cabinets and appliances were sold, and the funds were put toward the renovation budget, allowing for completely new cabinetry and stainless steel appliances to be installed for a vastly updated modern look. Flooring for the kitchen was selected to compliment the existing colour palettes and living room carpeting which were a part of the original re-decorating project. Every detail was selected to create unity and flow between new and existing elements. Incorporating some of the existing furniture into the design saved expense allowing for additional improvements to the space.

The homeowner loved the result, the experience, the overall function, and the flow. The aesthetic balance achieved in this renovation allowed the client to close a chapter in his life, and look forward to a new beginning in the Okanagan.
