New paint colours and flooring throughout, a new feature fireplace wall with custom built-ins, the removal of a few walls, increasing the ceiling height in the dining room, new lighting, the removal of a fireplace in the office, and simplifying the coffered ceilings in the kitchen and family room resulted in a more sophisticated and elegant home for the new owners.

In this formerly unfinished room above a garage, we were tasked with creating the ultimate kids’ space that could easily be used for adult guests as well. Our space was limited, but our client’s imagination wasn’t! Bold, fun, summertime colors, layers of pattern, and a strong emphasis on architectural details make for great vignettes at every turn. With many collaborations and revisions, we created a space that sleeps 8, offers a game/project table, a cozy reading space, and a full bathroom. The game table and banquette, bathroom vanity, locker wall, and unique bunks were custom designed by Bayberry Cottage and all allow for tons of clever storage spaces. This is a space created for loved ones and a lifetime of memories of a fabulous lakefront vacation home!
