We do many kitchen renovations in Toronto with this same layout, and are called in to open things up and improve the back addition. Our challenge on this project was to stay on budget and make the ceiling in the back room higher, as well as add much needed insulation to make the room warmer and comfortable, while renovating the kitchen. As you can see from the photos, this house is old and we made a number of structural improvements including fixing a old water leak that caused damage above the room.
This kitchen really stands out with the Cafe Appliances from GE. The white with copper is really cool! We also like the combination of the flat gloss uppers and the grey lowers. This is now very popular. And of course the wallpaper, we think it gives some much needed personality and colour to the space.

This project is a perfect example. We replaced the rotten garage trim with new smooth Hardie trim, installed a rot board around the garage to repair damage caused by a weed eater, and finished everything with two coats of color-matched Sherwin‑Williams Emerald Rain Refresh for maximum durability and weather protection. We even refreshed the shutters with a crisp coat of color-matched pea‑green paint to tie the whole exterior together.

This style landscape isn't for everyone, however it suits this owner perfectly. The awesome, colorful garden in the only sunny area on this several acre site is planted on a high mound that diverts all water either to the huge french drains that run along the house or the driveway that drains into the rain garden. The drainage problems are solved and the owner has the style of garden she desired: a very full, colorful, drought tolerant, easy maintenance cottage garden that attracts birds and butterflies. It's also dog friendly. Plants were chosen to be either something that the does can walk on or walk thru without causing damage. They also LOVE napping on the wide shady path along the house which doubles as the french drain.

Here is a picture of the newly installed fascia, taken from ground level. One of the problems with rotting or warped fascia is that it tends to pull away from the roof. This lets in even more rainwater. If that happens, the water will cause mold and mildew, not to mention continuing the rotting process from within. Luckily, these San Antonio homeowners have the peace of mind of knowing that Gutter Tex has prevented further damage to their house. When they have their brand new K-style aluminum gutter system installed, they won’t have to worry about unprotected fascia and walls.

This picture is a good representation of the gutter system and downspouts. It shows how otherwise uncontrolled water outflow is directed away from wooden edging and brick patio. Soil compaction caused by water overflow is also avoided with the new gutter system.
Of note are the hangers and rivets. We used them on this and every job. When done well, you do not see them. The right hangers extend the life of your gutters and offer other benefits. Rivets instead of screws protect the house from damage and create a better, stronger connection between gutter and house.

This sitting room was designed to act as a home office or casual space to read, relax, and play games. This writing desk acts as a game table, with two unique, custom upholstered chairs on either end. The walls are upholstered in a beige linen, and the ceiling is covered in a textured wallcovering, faux finished to look like aged metal. Custom crown molding was designed so artwork can hang from gallery rods without causing damage to the wall upholstery. Gold accents are picked up through the vase artwork, polished brass swing arm wall sconces, and library style desk lamp. The vignette is grounded by a patterned sisal area rug with a custom blue leather border.

My team and I organize a lot of reach-in and walk-in closets every week, and when I get a call for an entire room that needs to be turned into a closet, I squeal with delight. There are so many possibilities when you have an entire room with which to play.
This client is a renter, so could not do much in the way of wall-damaging installation. That’s where the Container Store Freestanding Elfa system comes in – nothing is mounted to the wall.
We worked with the Elfa jewelry organizing system and drawer dividers for undergarments. I suggest to roll & stack scarves instead of hanging. It takes up less space, doesn’t cause a crease in the material, and they are easy to grab without pulling.
We work with you to design and assemble self-standing units, organize, and make it beautiful and functional.

This home started out as a remodel of a family’s beloved summer cottage. A fire started on the work site which caused irreparable damage. Needless to say, a remodel turned into a brand-new home. We were brought on board to help our clients re-imagine their summer haven. Windows were important to maximize the gorgeous lake view. Access to the lake was also very important, so an outdoor shower off the mudroom/laundry area with its own side entrance provided a nice beach entry for the kids. A large kitchen island open to dining and living was imperative for the family and the time they like to spend together. The master suite is on the main floor and three bedrooms upstairs, one of which has built-in bunks allows the kids to have their own area. While the original family cottage is no more, we were able to successfully help our clients begin again so they can start new memories.
