We also added some cabinetry in the dining room. This area can be used as a buffet when there are lots of guests, as a charging area day to day to keep electronics out of the way, and as a great place to store items that aren't used everyday.

Nestled in the pristine beauty of the north woods of Wisconsin is the natural landscape of majestic trees, clear spring fed lakes, fascinating wildlife and exhilarating outdoor recreational activities. It is inviting to many families, friends and couples throughout the year The lakes in particular provide for an enormous amount of fun and relaxation. For those so fortunate to have a property it is customary to have a boathouse to store your swimming or boating gear and equipment. Recently Parrett was selected to provide windows and doors for a new boathouse and replacement windows and doors for an existing home. The boathouse windows consisted of folding windows and doors allowing for opening the windows the complete 10 foot expanse. These same doors were backed by a full length horizontal pulled screen. The folding window system was set on the second level loft designed as an elevated viewing area of the lake. Mulled directly to the top of the folding window was a Napoleon shaped direct set. On the opposite side of the second level was a window system matching the shape of the lakeside window system. The upper mulled window was a duplicate of the window on the lake side however the window below consisted of four awning windows. Due to the awnings being elevated from the lower floor and not easily accessible the windows were set up with individual electronic motors for operation which can be operated by either a switch or a remote control. The system allows for operating all of the windows at once or individually. The windows were made out of solid mahogany to the interior and a high performance woodgrain aluminum clad to the exterior. The lower boathouse door is a four panel solid mahogany plank style folding door system with a horizontal pull screen. Greeting anyone entering the boathouse is a custom designed entry door which has a carved pattern to the exterior emulating an owl. The owl door was made out of solid white oak and bordered with a 10 inch wide flat casing with a 12 inch keystone and plinth blocks located on top. Parrett was proud to be part of this fun, picturesque and very functional project.

An inset space in the hallway turned into a charging station/ mud room for 3 teens to store their stuff and leave their electronics charging over night.

Our clients, a family of professionals with 2 young kids, approached us to renovate their early 2000’s Toronto home to make it better suit the needs of their family. Although they were happy with the Kitchen layout, they requested that we update the existing cabinetry, and add additional cabinetry for increased storage. In the Laundry Room, they needed a storage solution for cleaning materials, and an updated laundry sink. They wanted the Basement to be a comfortable family space to spend time together, and for the kids to have a space to play. The Kitchen cabinets were dated and starting to fall apart, and the Master En-Suite was dated and awkwardly shaped, with a tight walk-in shower. In the Basement, the HVAC bulkhead was awkward and unsightly, and the space was not ideal for the kids to play, due to outdated carpeting, and a lack of storage space for their toys. We spent time getting to know our clients to design a space that optimized functionality and comfort for their family. In the Kitchen, we kept the existing layout, but added a tall cabinet for pantry and broom storage. A new island was built with a space to accommodate a built-in microwave, to keep it from cluttering the countertop. The new white oak tall cabinets and island cabinets were complimented by light coloured marble-looking quartz countertops and the handmade subway tile backsplash for a fresh, updated look. In the Master Ensuite, we replaced the large, dated deck-mounted tub with a semi-freestanding tub, tucked nicely into the corner. The extra space this created allowed us to add a walk-in shower without the awkward angle that had existed prior to the renovation. The new walk-in shower featured a ceiling mounted showerhead, and a useful ledge for toiletries. We even had enough space to add a bonus make-up table to match the new double vanity. Both were custom built to be floating for a modern look, and easier maintenance. In the Laundry Room, we installed the washer and dryer side by side, instead of stacked. This allowed for a long working countertop and upper storage cabinets that were custom built. Additionally, a hanging rack installed above the sink is perfect for drying small items, and the adjustable shelves and dividers in the custom built cabinetry will provide plenty of convenient space to store cleaning materials. In the Basement, we widened the bulkhead to allow us to center the wall-mounted TV, and added custom media cabinets with floating shelves to accommodate electronics. The space was made more comfortable for the kids to play with new vinyl heated flooring, and tall cabinets with adjustable shelves, dividers, and deep drawers to keep all of their toys organized. All of these updates provided our clients with a home that fits their family’s needs and lifestyle. If your home isn’t functional for your family, contact us to learn more.

This beautiful in-place kitchen remodel is a transformation from dated 90’s to timeless syle! Away are the oak cabinets and large paneled fluorescent ceiling lights and in its place is a functional, clean lined kitchen design with character. The existing oak flooring provides the perfect opportunity to pair warm and cool colors with edgy polished chrome fixtures and hardware which speaks to the client’s charm! We used the classic shaker style in Waypoint’s cherry slate stained cabinet giving the space an updated profile with classic stain. The refrigerator wall functions as an appliance station with the ability to tuck appliances and all things bulky in the appliance garages keeping the countertops free. By tucking the microwave into a reconfigured island, a kitchen hood provides the perfect focal point of the space paired with a beautiful gas range. A penny round blend of cool and warm tones is the perfect accent to the natural stone backsplash. The peninsula was extended to provide a space next to the sink for a trash/recycle cabinet and allows for a large, single basin granite sink. By switching the orientation of the island, the eating nook’s table now can extend into the space adding more seating without awkward flow and close proximity to the island. The smaller island houses the microwave and drawer cabinets allowing for a more functional space with countertop space. The stunning Cambria Britannica quartz countertops round out the design by creating visual movement with a classic nod to traditional style. This design is the perfect mix of edgy sass with traditional flair, and I know our client will be enjoying her dream kitchen for years to come!
