Tumbled Roman walkways, stairs and patios with Pisa 2 retaining walls surround a beautiful yet quaint water feature in the back of this home set on a park in SW Calgary. Mahogany entry gates a privacy screen, lighting, and colorful plantings welcome guests to this yard.

The Setup
This hall bath renovation was for empty nesters whose grandkids frequently visit, making it a priority to update the space for both adult guests and young children. Originally, the bathroom was outdated with a large sheet mirror, heavy oak cabinets, and hexagon tile flooring, giving it a dark, underwhelming look. The goal was to create a fresh, inviting environment that balances elegance with practical features for a multi-generational household.
Design objectives:
Modernize finishes and materials to update the aesthetic
Provide accessible, kid-friendly storage and shower options
Artful lighting and maintain a timeless, neutral palette
The Remodel
Design challenges to be solved:
No structural changes – must keep the tub and wall structure
Ensure flexibility with storage for both adult and children’s items
Retain functionality for easier bath time with young children
The Renewed Space
Design solutions:
Updated Storage – Replaced the dated medicine cabinet with a sleek, mirrored version on the wall, offering accessible storage without sacrificing the streamlined look. The vanity now includes additional storage for essential items, keeping surfaces clutter-free and organized.
Neutral Palette with Subtle Details – To give the bathroom a timeless look, we used a soft, monochromatic color scheme throughout. The shower tile, with a subtle sheen and texture, adds depth and interest without overwhelming the space. The floor tile’s pattern brings a sense of movement that’s refined yet durable for a high-traffic bathroom.
Flexible Shower Setup – Opted to keep the shower curtain instead of glass doors, allowing easier access for bathing young children. A spacious shower niche was installed to hold essentials, adding functionality for both the homeowner and the grandkids.
The result is a timeless hall bath with just the right blend of modern sophistication and family-friendly functionality. The subtle yet striking tile details and upgraded lighting bring elegance to the room, making it the perfect refresh for any guest and a versatile space for all ages.

For this kitchen remodeling project, the homeowners were looking to change the look of their kitchen by making it more open and inviting. We started by removing the bulkhead to really open up the space. We then tore out all the cabinets and installed all new cabinets done in maple with a shaker door. They went with artic white cabinets for the kitchen, while the island was done in a custom blue color. To finish the new look, we installed a new quartz Bianco Calacatta countertop, LED under cabinet strip lights and plank tiles for the floor. Now this is truly a beautiful kitchen transformation.
