**★★★★★ — Carm Parent, Sept. 2022**

> Beth re-designed our outdated and non-functional kitchen. We had a very small kitchen with limited counter space and a hallway behind it. We had gutted the whole kitchen. We tore down walls and moved exterior doors and windows also. It was impossible to measure out since there were walls in the way or non-existestence windows. The before and after are incredible and made out 1960s kitchen look sleek and modern. It had to function for the 5 of us and grow with the family. The island was well designed and she was right about putting a sink in the island. We would have regretted this added bonus. Beth worked on our kitchen 13 years ago and it still looks brand new. It was a lot of work but so worth it. The kitchen functioned well with our little kids and still does now that they are all young adults. Thank you, Beth!

  - Description: A cramped kitchen, small dining room and hallway were combined to create a large eat-in kitchen for this busy family of 7. Simple cabinet doors, cabinet handles and stainless steel appliances create a clean lined modern feel. A dark grey island, quartz counter tops and rich wide plank hardwood floors add warmth and contrast to the space. The walls and trim were keep light to maintain a clean and airy look. Pops of blue and a geometric backsplash add colour and interest. Gorgeous simple light fix…

  - Description: This beautiful ensuite was created in a 3rd floor retreat area designed for a busy couple. The former bedroom was transformed into a large soothing ensuite. The freestanding tub creates a stunning focal point at the entrance to the ensuite and creates a lovely vista from the adjoining master bedroom. While the colours are soft and muted, the variety of tile and finishes provides lots of visual interest. A make-up area was provided for the lady of the house and with an adjoining walk-in closet ge…

  - Description: The tiny bathroom of this post war condo in downtown Ottawa was in need of an overhaul. In keeping with the age and detail of the condo we choose bathroom fixtures that had an art deco feel to them and classic white subway tile for the walls. The homeowner's favourite feature of this bathroom is the show stopping marble flooring, which with its soft green tone set the colour story for the bathroom. On the walls surrounding the bathtub and shower, marble pencil ledges with a marble brick pattern…

  - Description: When this family purchased their new home it was clear that the existing main bathroom was not going to be functional for their 3 daughters. Not only was there only one sink but there was corner Jacuzzi tub instead of a regular bathtub and shower. By stealing the adjacent bedroom's walk-in closet we were able to enlarge the bathroom and incorporate a 2nd sink area. A gorgeous square contemporary tub with a glass shield replaces the former jacuzzi. A wall of linear glass tile provides a stunning…
