This beautiful North Vancouver home belongs to a nature-loving and health-conscious couple, Emma and Vince (names changed), their two young children, and their dog, Jasper. When they contacted us about renovating and furnishing their kitchen and family room, we walked in and saw a world of potential waiting to be uncovered.
Before: Larkhall Crescent Home:
Like many original North Vancouver homes, the interior was definitely dated. We encountered late ‘80s finishes in powder pink and teal green, old carpet, and a kitchen that wasn’t maximized to suit this family’s modern-day lifestyle. However, the size of the rooms offered us a ton of space with which to get creative.
Knowing our clients’ love of cooking, need for work spaces (Emma and Vince both work remotely), and growing family, we developed a design concept that would increase usable space, optimize storage, and create intimacy in this large area. As for the style, we were inspired by their European roots, inventing a new and modern take on “Belgian Farmhouse” style. Now, the home is truly one-of-a-kind.
After: Warm & Cozy Family Room:
Fresh, bright, and comfortable, this living area has been transformed! We started with the fireplace as a focal point, selecting aged brick tiles for added texture and a crisp wood mantle. The taupe-coloured sectional infuses the room with visual warmth and serves the added purpose of separating the family room from the kitchen.
Emma and Vince were also keen on using non-toxic materials in their home, and we were happy to oblige. To meet their needs, we sourced natural wood elements and sought out Canadian-made products - that adhere to high health standards - whenever possible.
Look closer at the elements of this space, and you will find this stunning, honeycomb-patterned rug in earthy gold, beige, and charcoal tones. It’s plush to the touch and full of visual texture that brings this room’s colour palette together. We sourced these two-tone chairs with caning, petrified wood side table, black sconces, and botanical prints in greyscale from local artist, Heather Johnston.
We topped off the space with this dark wood and rattan console that offers storage facing the kitchen and presents an opportunity to display cherished items. The result is a cozy lounging space brimming with comfort and functionality. It’s perfect for enjoying quality family time, or Emma can simply slide the coffee table away to make room for her morning yoga practice.
Now, let’s turn around and give some attention to the kitchen. Do you remember what the original kitchen looked like? If not, scroll back up, because the transformation is shocking…
Moody & Welcoming Kitchen for Healthy Living:
This kitchen looks very different from how it started, right? Though we didn’t touch any walls, the kitchen has almost doubled in usable space! We created a long, extended island with storage, an outlet for small appliances, and seating for comfortable prep, after-school snacking, or mingling among friends.
On the other side of the island, the family has even more storage and an integrated dishwasher within easy reach of the sink, perfect for quick clean-up. From this angle, you can also see the expansive custom Shaker cabinetry in white and the integrated double ovens. These facilitate their cooking experience and gave us the opportunity to add an additional surprise…
A coffee garage station and more hidden storage! Keeping these items located along the perimeter allows them to be accessed by the family or their guests without someone getting under the cook’s feet. These are the little details that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable.
Moving deeper into the kitchen, the seamless induction cooktop topped with a freestanding concealed hood fan commands attention in a soft yet prominent way. The natural wood accent mirrors the fireplace mantle, and the choice of off-black wood-grain cabinets not only continues our black-and-white colour palette but adds a sense of depth and contrast. The corner sink is located to the right and perfectly positioned with a view of their thriving backyard.
To invite more of this family’s character into the space, we mixed metals for interest — matte black, dark pewter, and warm brass — and created open shelves in white oak for their plants and decor. You can also glimpse the tumbled edge of the backsplash tile, which echoes the rustic brick of the fireplace. It adds that farmhouse charm while still feeling timeless and sophisticated.
Last but not least, we designed this dining banquette in the bay window (with integrated bench storage, of course), where the family can share a meal together, the kids can do homework, or Emma and Vince can work and enjoy a change of scenery from their offices. Like the other spaces in the home, it was designed to be beautiful, multi-functional, and long-lasting.
Praise from Our Clients:
It is clear that we love this home, but what did our clients have to say?
“Lori is a visionary and masters execution to the finest detail all at the same time. When she first met us to know more about who we are and how we live, she could right away envision how we could use the space in our kitchen and living room…The results exceeded our expectations.
Lori and her team were also a delight to work with — coordination with all the trades, fast problem-solving, regular updates, professional and friendly attitude of her entire team — made it the dream team. Thank you SHD for making our space so beautiful!”
In turn, we are so grateful for this family’s trust, their open communication, and for being wonderful people with whom to work. (So, thank you!)

This stunning new kitchen in St Albans blends bold design choices with practical family living, created in collaboration with interior designer Emma Kosh.
Featuring Schüller’s Sienna Matt Velvet cabinetry in Pale Rose and Onyx Black, the space delivers a striking contrast that feels both modern and luxurious. The pink tones bring a unique, personalised touch, while the deep black adds depth and sophistication.
Designed alongside Emma Kosh, the layout was tailored to suit a large, extended family, with an open-plan dining and living area that flows seamlessly for everyday use and entertaining. A dedicated breakfast unit and bar area create the perfect spot for morning coffees, casual meals, or evening drinks, adding both style and functionality.
The 20mm AG Carrara Q Quartz worktops, supplied by Algarve, bring a crisp, refined finish with beautiful marble-inspired veining. They are as durable as they are elegant, making them ideal for a busy family kitchen.
Premium appliances from Siemens, Blanco, and Quooker were chosen for their performance, reliability, and sleek design, ensuring the space works as hard as it looks good.
If you’re ready to create a kitchen that combines personality, practicality, and a true wow factor, get in touch—we’d love to help you design your dream space.

Designed by Maggie Walker of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Frederick, MD this traditional style kitchen design features kitchen cabinets from Merillat Masterpiece in the Fairlane Evercore door style in 2 finishes. The perimeter kitchen cabinets feature a Dove White finish. The kitchen island cabinets feature the darker Onyx finish. Kitchen countertops are Cambria engineered quartz in the color Bellingham. According to the client, Maggie "translated our wants and needs into a beautiful yet functional space. Her suggestion to move an exterior window brightened and opened up the room as well." The clients particularly enjoy the deep drawers that are designed to hold dishes, pots and pans as well as the pull out bins in the lower cabinets, saying "..not only does it make meal prep and clean up easy now, we also know these features will be appreciated even more as we age."

Built in 1995, various rooms in this house not only needed a facelift but required adaptation to the homeowners needs.
An avid at-home chef, the client was looking for a 21st century kitchen ready for their next big meal. Appliances were moved, storage was added, and flow and functionality were enhanced. A Galley Workstation replaced the traditional kitchen sink, and additional hidden features such as a well-organized pantry, pop-up mixer, and tray dividers further the kitchen's functionality. The client even requested spice drawers on either side of the stove to have everything at their finger tips.
The laundry room was redesigned and its door was relocated to make the space an easily accessible extension of the kitchen.
One thing led to another, and since the family room opens up to the kitchen, it was a great opportunity to update the fireplace with paint, a new stone surround and custom-built mantle.
And finally, with aging parents, the homeowner needed a guest bathroom that was safe and easy to use. A low-curb shower and accent lighting under the bathroom cabinet make the space safer and more accessible for everyone.

Introducing a stunning project meticulously brought to life by our professional team, transitioning seamlessly from a 3D design to reality.

This modern open-plan kitchen showcases a sleek, minimalist design that blends functionality with style. The expansive island, fitted with a pristine light countertop, offers ample space for meal prep and casual dining, complemented by a row of warm-toned leather bar stools with black metal frames. Streamlined cabinetry in soft beige creates a clean, uninterrupted look, with integrated appliances maintaining the contemporary aesthetic. Recessed lighting throughout the space ensures an evenly lit environment, while subtle ceiling fixtures above the island add a refined touch. The large, open layout flows seamlessly into the living area, anchored by a plush sectional sofa accented with geometric and bold blue throw pillows. Light tile flooring enhances the airy ambiance, making this kitchen a welcoming centerpiece for both everyday living and entertaining.

This Pinterest-perfect kitchen was imagined as the true heart of the home — a place where mornings begin with sunlight pouring through the windows and evenings bring family and friends together around the island. The rich leathered granite countertops add depth and texture, built to handle real life while still feeling timeless and refined.
At the center, a large statement island naturally becomes the gathering place — where conversations happen, meals are shared, and memories are made. Just steps away, a dedicated dining area offers another place to gather when the house is full. Sleek black stainless steel appliances add a modern touch, while a reverse osmosis filtration system brings clean, refreshing water right from the tap. Every detail was chosen with care, creating a kitchen that feels warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed — the kind of space every homeowner dreams of.

While the footprint of this kitchen is large, the past layout crammed the most used fixtures, stove and sink and dishwasher, into one tight corner. Plus, the past layout made for a bottleneck at the back entry, the family’s most used entrance. The homeowners had gotten so used to making the best of it that they simply came to Castle wanting their Kitchen updated, not necessarily a new layout. Even so, their designer, Ashley, saw potential and made a proposal for a new layout. The new layout required four steps to be relocated. This tweak gave room for a half wall to be built which provided a backdrop for the new sink and dishwasher location. The stove was also moved to be in the new, central kitchen space. With these moves the Kitchen became an open area where many people can participate in meal preparation. The area which had previously housed the stove, sink and dishwasher is now a large pantry cabinet and built in desk. Down from there is the new back entry which now gives a larger landing area for the family to come in, hang jackets and bags and leave shoes. All in all, this remodel has been a game changer for this family and the way they use their home.
