Up on the 3rd floor of a townhouse the master bath was too closed in. The closet was too small. The room couldn't take advantage of the lift from the huge skylight. We remedied all of these situations and the homeowner was able to accomplish it (almost) all himself at a substantial savings and with the knowledge that he could always get professional help if he needed it.

We were faced with a dilemma in this corner of the bedroom. There was a random, and very small, window that made for an unusual situation with window treatments. In order to make it seem more substantial, we placed drapery panels on each side to cover the edges and give it the appearance of being larger. Michael Hunter Photography

Formerly an unused office/study, this traditional cozy den with touches of "transitional" accents is perfectly balanced to the clients' lifestyle and design tyle . All neutral tones used to keep a cozy feel to this den/TV room for 2. We combined new furniture and accents with treasured antiques.

Well situated in Mont Royal, this split-level home had many positives apart from its dated interior, and layout of many small and inefficient rooms. This was all at odds with the owners’ lifestyle and aesthetic. The client had architectural plans designed for a third floor addition that were to include a master bedroom and ensuite bathroom. The desired look for the entire house influenced all aspects of construction. Apart from the removal most walls on the main floor, everything was stripped back to the most simple and pure of finishing materials. The existing floors were refinished in a smoked grey matte palette and offset the rich warm walnut accents in the kitchen and soft white walls. With an abundance of white walls throughout, feature walls were essential in both the master bedroom and ensuite. The deep charcoal wall in the bedroom provides dramatic contrast to the teak headboard and hammered silver light fixture. The ensuite’s feature wall is made of pewter ceramic tiles that add texture and elegance to this simple space. Materials and furnishings throughout were selected for their simplicity and form.
