Drop-in bathtub - craftsman porcelain tile drop-in bathtub idea in Calgary with dark wood cabinets, gray walls, an undermount sink and quartzite countertops

This beautiful historic building was constructed in 1893 and was originally occupied by the Calgary Herald, the oldest running newspaper in the city. Since then, a lot of great stories have been shared in this space and the current restaurateurs have developed the most suitable concept; FinePrint. It denotes an elusive balance between sophistication and simplicity, refinement and fun. Our design intent was to create a restaurant that felt polished, yet inviting and comfortable for all guests to enjoy. The custom designed details throughout were carefully curated to embrace the historical character of the building and to set the tone for great new stories and to celebrate all of life’s occasions.

In this spiderman themed room we have created a fresh look that is reminiscent of a theme park. With new integrated LED lighting, an LED Avengers logo above the bed, and the spiderman lab wall appliques, this authentic marvel inspired bedroom feels like it’s straight out of a comic book. We added a new computer station in the closet/nook, as well as two custom spiderman acrylic wall art pieces on the left side. Custom framed spiderman newspaper art serves as another art conversation piece. Oh, and don’t forget the life-sized Spiderman!

Main cabinetry is in a simple Shaker style while the two hutches are in a glazed/painted finish. The mid-height open shelf is of the same maple as the other cabinets. The painted crown moulding is continued on the maple cabinets and ties the two areas together. The design layout includes relocation of the sink into a corner, which provides better distribution of the main work space. Four custom built pullout pantries create easy to reach storage of food prep items. Tile backsplash includes randomly paced hand painted decorative tiles. Existing vinyl flooring was replaced with Cherry engineered flooring. New recessed lighting replaced the fluorescent 4x6 light panel. A bookcase was added into the design to provide additional storage for newspapers, magazines, radio and miscellaneous items.

This magnificent one-of-a-kind home has much to offer a busy family. A bright and airy contemporary design, complimented by warm wood, embraces both formal and casual living and dining spaces. Two levels are accessible by separate staircases. Three master suites on the second floor connect by an open walkway overlooking the great room below to the main master suite with two walk-in closets, an office center and spa retreat bathroom. The master bedroom balcony allows a wonderful retreat to relax, sip a cup of coffee, and read the daily newspaper.

An eclectic mix of materials was the request for this kitchen. Following an inspirational picture that the clients had clipped from a newspaper, we made this kitchen come to life. Herringbone laid floor tile, rough knotty alder cabinetry, with a vintage finish on the island and touches of metal in the copper hood and sink.

Finally, before we installed the new oak flooring, toothing it to seamlessly match the rest of the main level, we re-insulated the kitchen walls and made a few discoveries along the way. As was the custom with homes built in that period, insulation often consisted of what ever was handy at the time. In this case the cavities were stuffed with newspapers from the 1940’s revealing war news and a host of prints ads extolling the virtues of Camel cigarettes and Coca Cola.

For a rich, classic dark wood effect, take a look at Winter Oak. Its lovely chocolaty tones add a feeling of depth and sophistication to any room. The realistic grain and gently rippled surface bring you all of the texture and warmth of real timber in a wonderfully durable and hassle free material.
