Eat-in kitchen - mid-sized transitional u-shaped dark wood floor and brown floor eat-in kitchen idea with an undermount sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets, quartzite countertops, white backsplash, glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and white countertops

Inspiration for a shabby-chic style slate floor kitchen remodel in Toronto with an undermount sink, shaker cabinets, gray cabinets, soapstone countertops, white backsplash, glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

A truly special property located in a sought after Toronto neighbourhood, this large family home renovation sought to retain the charm and history of the house in a contemporary way. The full scale underpin and large rear addition served to bring in natural light and expand the possibilities of the spaces. A vaulted third floor contains the master bedroom and bathroom with a cozy library/lounge that walks out to the third floor deck - revealing views of the downtown skyline. A soft inviting palate permeates the home but is juxtaposed with punches of colour, pattern and texture. The interior design playfully combines original parts of the home with vintage elements as well as glass and steel and millwork to divide spaces for working, relaxing and entertaining. An enormous sliding glass door opens the main floor to the sprawling rear deck and pool/hot tub area seamlessly. Across the lawn - the garage clad with reclaimed barnboard from the old structure has been newly build and fully rough-in for a potential future laneway house.

A wall was removed to allow for an open concept between the kitchen and living room so the fireplace and ocean views can be enjoyed while cooking. Photo Credit: Atarah Humphreys

What a transformation! We enclosed all of the plumbing and kept the large mirror! in keeping with the farmhouse design, we added shiplap to the walls and barnboard as the trim around the mirror. A new freestanding vanity along with ceramic tile floors were installed.
