Lincoln Lighthill Architect employed several discrete updates that collectively transform this existing row house. At the heart of the home, a section of floor was removed at the top level to open up the existing stair and allow light from a new skylight to penetrate deep into the home. The stair itself received a new maple guardrail and planter, with a Fiddle-leaf fig tree growing up through the opening towards the skylight. On the top living level, an awkwardly located entrance to a full bathroom directly off the main stair was moved around the corner and out of the way by removing a little used tub from the bathroom, as well as an outdated heater in the back corner. This created a more discrete entrance to the existing, now half-bath, and opened up a space for a wall of pantry cabinets with built-in refrigerator, and an office nook at the rear of the house with a huge new awning window to let in light and air. Downstairs, the two existing bathrooms were reconfigured and recreated as dedicated master and kids baths. The kids bath uses yellow and white hexagonal Heath tile to create a pixelated celebration of color. The master bath, hidden behind a flush wall of walnut cabinetry, utilizes another Heath tile color to create a calming retreat. Throughout the home, walnut thin-ply cabinetry creates a strong contrast to the existing maple flooring, while the exposed blond edges of the material tie the two together. Rounded edges on integral pulls and door edges create pinstripe detailing that adds richness and a sense of playfulness to the design.

A serene master en-suite in soft pale blues and taupes. The wall tile looks like wallpaper when you first look at it with a hint of Indian influence in the design motifs. To the touch, the wall tile feels like paper. Beautifully imperfect, these irregular concrete floor tiles are laid in a herringbone pattern to bring interest and texture. A modern, architectural oak stool is chosen to contrast with the other more organic elements. Designed by: Stephanie Houghton, principal partner at Emily Griffin Design.

A concept juxtaposing rawness with sophistication was agreed on, morphing what was an average two bedroom in its previous life to a loft with concrete floors and brick walls revealed and complemented with gloss, walnut, chrome and Corian. All the manly bells and whistle are built-in too, including Control4 smart home automation, custom beer trough and acoustical features to prevent party noise from reaching the neighbours.

In the dining room, we created a dramatic arched entrance with stained walnut raised-paneling. We added a painted beam ceiling with tongue and groove V-notch slats to add interest and texture to the 10 ’ ceiling. To create trim with a flowing, seamless appearance, we integrated drapery cornices into the crown molding. Intense sun penetrates the room and led to the creation of a three-part window treatment. We incorporated stationary drapery panels for acoustics and to soften edges. We added roman shades for solar control and a gothic-inspired arched valance in embossed linen for a formal accent. The valance is a soft echo of the gothic motif on the fireplace surround in the home’s adjacent keeping room. On the walls, we had the installer cut grass cloth into squares and alternate their direction when he was hanging. This creates a subtle visual effect that changes as the sun dances through the room and you walk around the space. Square nail heads punctuate the intersections by being turned and set on their tips, creating a 3-dimensional diamond shape. Chris Little Photography

The Master Bath offers a freestanding tub, huge walk-in shower, private water closet, and lots of counter-top space. The tub features a stone backs-plash with separate hand shower and filler water controls. The tub filler is handmade from copper piping. There is a glass pane behind the tub that overlooks into the shower. The spacious walk-in shower offers room for the entire family, but it works just as well for one or two people. The water closet has its own space offering extra privacy.

For those looking to bring a modern and luxurious feel to their master bathroom, there are countless options for decor ideas. From rustic country chic to contemporary minimalism, finding something that captures your style is possible. Every design element should be carefully thought through and implemented, from the type of cabinetry you choose and the tiles you lay down for the flooring or walls to small details like lighting fixtures or mirrors. Utilizing functionality and aesthetics in equal measure as well as taking into account practicalities such as ventilation, can all make sure your new sanctuary looks spectacular.

A full transformation was in order in for this master bedroom. With little direction other than some inspiration photos and the request for wallpaper, sconces, and new everything, we had to start somewhere and it started with the wallpaper. The vaulted ceiling got painted a moody gray. A textured upholstered bed got paired with a linen duvet to keep from feeling too formal. We had the Hepplewhite style dresser custom painted a mossy green to contrast the purple and anchor a gold flecked original painting selected for the space. Custom draperies echo the royal purple tones of the wallpaper and a few vintage accessories tie everything together, leaving the room serene yet not necessarily neutral and definitely not boring. FUN FACT The roman shades are remote controlled! Photography: Dustin Halleck
