Ever heard some say “It has good bones?” Well, no one had ever said that about this house; it needed a major overhaul - “A TOTAL GUT.” It’s saving grace was: 1. It’s enthusiastic new homeowners. 2. The expansive and gorgeous views of Okanagan Lake. 
 We were asked to assist our clients with big-picture-planning for their newest investment property. Upon initial walk through of the home, it was immediately evident there were many previous ‘bandaid-type’ updates that it had gone through over the years. This house was in prime need of an overhaul inside and out: - multiple dropped Ceilings with layers of Plumbing add ons - wall to wall Carpet -a tired Bathtub directly inside the Master Bedroom - a “dreaded” Corner Kitchen Sink -multiple add ons involving three confusing front entry doors Discovering what was previously done and the quandary of why these things were done is always so interesting to discover and can be very overwhelming for clients. A big part of what we love most about Design is helping to propose new ideas to revitalize and improve all that has come before. It is one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of our work. Our Renovation Strategy began in Layout Design for optimizing Interior & Exterior flow, moving into Concept & Style Planning, Millwork and Finish Selections. We then created an ordered implementation sequence which would allow the homeowners to live on one floor while the other was being renovated Later they would move to the finished floor and renovate the remaining areas. Once complete, the home quickly sold and we look forwards to assisting these happy investors on their next endeavour.

This charming kitchen renovation seamlessly blends nostalgia with modern functionality, transforming this homeowner’s childhood kitchen into a sophisticated culinary space. Nestled in the picturesque countryside with views from every window, this farmhouse has been a beloved family home for generations. Balancing tradition and timeless design, we incorporated elements that would evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth. The kitchen’s glass china hutch takes center stage, adorned with French antique brass cremone bolts. For these cooking enthusiasts, the striking Italian Ilve range with double ovens and a large burner top offer both style and functionality. With its brass detailing, it is truly a showstopper. A custom arched range hood is the crowning complement to this beautiful range. Soft, warm white inset cabinetry is paired with unlacquered brass hardware that will develop a rich patina over time. The Shaws original farm sink adds a classic farmhouse touch, and a handmade Moroccan zellige tile backsplash brings dimension and texture. Brass fixtures, including the bridge sink faucet and pot filler, further enhance the traditional aesthetic, while new designer light fixtures illuminate the space with an inviting glow. Millwork details such as the tongue and groove paneling on the kitchen ceiling & the dining room wainscotting were added to provide depth to the space. The structural beam was wrapped with reclaimed rough-cut barn wood, salvaged from the century-old barn on the property, and the new European white oak hardwood floors further enhance the sense of timeless character. In the adjacent dining room, a natural landscape wallpaper complements the pastural views and the soft colors of the kitchen, combining to create such a serene dining space. The island’s soft sage green echoes the tones of the dining room wallpaper. It also features a hidden rollout baking station with a butcherblock countertop – providing the perfect workspace for creating delicious treats. A black granite countertop pairs with the other black accents of the kitchen – the range, pendant light fixtures, and sunroom door. A wall of built-in pantry cabinets and a beverage bar adds additional storage. The beverage bar is complete with brass rails for lovely display storage. This renovation is a stunning example of how thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship can enhance both form and function, honoring the past while embracing the future. Photos by MK Photography
