The homeowners of this condo sought our assistance when downsizing from a large family home on Howe Sound to a small urban condo in Lower Lonsdale, North Vancouver. They asked us to incorporate many of their precious antiques and art pieces into the new design. Our challenges here were twofold; first, how to deal with the unconventional curved floor plan with vast South facing windows that provide a 180 degree view of downtown Vancouver, and second, how to successfully merge an eclectic collection of antique pieces into a modern setting. We began by updating most of their artwork with new matting and framing. We created a gallery effect by grouping like artwork together and displaying larger pieces on the sections of wall between the windows, lighting them with black wall sconces for a graphic effect. We re-upholstered their antique seating with more contemporary fabrics choices - a gray flannel on their Victorian fainting couch and a fun orange chenille animal print on their Louis style chairs. We selected black as an accent colour for many of the accessories as well as the dining room wall to give the space a sophisticated modern edge. The new pieces that we added, including the sofa, coffee table and dining light fixture are mid century inspired, bridging the gap between old and new. White walls and understated wallpaper provide the perfect backdrop for the colourful mix of antique pieces. Interior Design by Lori Steeves, Simply Home Decorating.

MOSAIC MIST Shimmering tile, soft greys and spa-day ease. DESIGN DESCRIPTION This bathroom proves that a modest footprint can still feel like a private spa. Clean white tile sets a bright, airy backdrop, punctuated by a shimmering panel of glass and stone mosaic that frames the tub like a work of art. The same mosaic returns as a band behind the vanity, tying the room together. A frameless glass screen, body sprays and a handheld wand turn the tub into a full shower experience, while a recessed niche keeps essentials tidy. A floating charcoal vanity with an integrated sink and a glass waterfall faucet pairs with a mirrored cabinet lit by slim vertical lights. Light wood-look floating shelves, a heated towel rail and a tall frosted glass cabinet add warmth and clever storage. Bright, calm and thoughtfully planned, it makes the everyday routine feel like a treat.

This 1940's home had a narrow and inefficient kitchen area, closed-off from the adjacent dining & living room by a wall. By knocking down this wall, not only are these spaces integrated, but natural light dramatically flows into the front of the house. Socializing with guests and family members is no longer a problem for these homeowners, who can host and cook simultaneously. The overall effect implies a much more inviting and larger space without adding to the existing footprint of the home. Photography by David Papazian

Detail. To assist in keeping the project at the client's budget for their dining room windows, the greater portion of the space here features leaded rectangles of glass, which is an effective cost-efficient means of limiting the complexity of a large space where stained glass is to be installed. This enabled the center panel to become the focal point, with a great deal of detailing and small pieces. The urn is composed of clear textures of leaded and beveled glass. Photo by Mark Levy Studio

The most effective way to remove pet pee from carpet If you have a furry friend living with you, accidents are bound to happen. When dealing with pet pee or other pet stains on the carpet – urine, poop, or vomit – immediate action combined with deep cleaning can typically restore the carpet to pristine condition. Even if you don’t notice a pet pee until it has dried and set into the carpet, the stain can still be treated. You should never use harsh chemical cleaners that have a strong, caustic smell when cleaning pet stains on carpet. They rarely remove carpet odors from the fibers and might actually encourage pets to mark on the carpet again. To get rid of pet stains, try homemade cleaning products.
