Inspiration for a timeless home design remodel in Chicago

As shown in the second picture, the problem was more severe on the East side of the house. The water had rusted through the original nails holding the dentals to the base molding. The base molding had warped and pulled away from the upper crown. In addition to the CPES product, we used epoxy to fill the gaps and cracks in the wood. As a final step before caulking and painting, we applied a coat of high-built adhesive primer to all the trim elements of the building, including the window casings, which were original to the house. The crown moldings and window casings were seemingly made of old-growth wood, which survived in these hash conditions, without rotting for over one hundred fifty years. This wood is still hard as stone today! Wood like this deserves every bit of care we can muster to help preserve it for another century or more. As you can also see in the second picture, since our painting and decorating company is EPA Lead-Safe Certified, the paint scraping process was done in compliance with EPA regulations. It involved setting up containment for the paint debris, sealing the windows, wearing protective garments, respirators etc., all this in 90 degree heat this week! As a pioneer and early settler’s house, the Colonel Palmer house is quite remarkable by its size, style and quality of materials used in its construction. This was no shack on the prairie! It is well worth preserving for the generations to come.

The homeowners envisioned a renovation that would honour the home's original character while enhancing its functionality for modern living. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to reflect the home's Edwardian architecture, from the thicker trim and window casings to the Marmoleum checkerboard flooring, decorative ceiling tiles, and traditional wainscoting. Together, these carefully selected elements create visual continuity, allowing the renovated spaces to blend seamlessly with the original home. Reconfiguring the existing layout maximized every square foot, creating a more efficient and functional kitchen without compromising its character. Designed for everyday living, the kitchen incorporates thoughtful storage solutions and smart organization while preserving the timeless architectural details that define the home.

Perched high above Calgary’s vibrant East Village, this condo was designed to reflect the homeowner’s story — layered, personal, and full of meaningful pieces collected over time. The homeowner wanted to create a space that feels authentic, inviting, and connected to her life experiences. Working collaboratively, we curated furnishings and finishes that balance character with comfort. Each choice integrated treasured items with new elements to enhance functionality, improve visual flow, and express her unique narrative. The result is a warm, eclectic home where she can work productively, relax fully, and take in sweeping views of the Bow River at the end of each day.

A modern country home for a busy family with young children. The home remodel included enlarging the footprint of the kitchen to allow a larger island for more seating and entertaining, as well as provide more storage and a desk area. The pocket door pantry and the full height corner pantry was high on the client's priority list. From the cabinetry to the green peacock wallpaper and vibrant blue tiles in the bathrooms, the colourful touches throughout the home adds to the energy and charm. The result is a modern, relaxed, eclectic aesthetic with practical and efficient design features to serve the needs of this family.
