In 2014, we were approached by a couple to achieve a dream space within their existing home. They wanted to expand their existing bar, wine, and cigar storage into a new one-of-a-kind room. Proud of their Italian heritage, they also wanted to bring an “old-world” feel into this project to be reminded of the unique character they experienced in Italian cellars. The dramatic tone of the space revolves around the signature piece of the project; a custom milled stone spiral stair that provides access from the first floor to the entry of the room. This stair tower features stone walls, custom iron handrails and spindles, and dry-laid milled stone treads and riser blocks. Once down the staircase, the entry to the cellar is through a French door assembly. The interior of the room is clad with stone veneer on the walls and a brick barrel vault ceiling. The natural stone and brick color bring in the cellar feel the client was looking for, while the rustic alder beams, flooring, and cabinetry help provide warmth. The entry door sequence is repeated along both walls in the room to provide rhythm in each ceiling barrel vault. These French doors also act as wine and cigar storage. To allow for ample cigar storage, a fully custom walk-in humidor was designed opposite the entry doors. The room is controlled by a fully concealed, state-of-the-art HVAC smoke eater system that allows for cigar enjoyment without any odor.

This is one of our favorite stones for fireplace surrounds. “I love the stone fireplace, great texture.” “wonderful use of stone on the fireplace surround” “family room fireplace feature stone texture” “Beautiful Fireplace Ideas for Stone Veneer Fireplace Surrounds” “This stone fireplace surround is a popular choice for rustic interiors as well as contemporary spaces” “The stonework covers the fireplace in Toronto creating a rustic feel on the fireplace surround”

The home’s contemporary décor stemmed from the homeowner's desire for a neutral palette and timeless interior with function and style that is also warm and welcoming. The design works well for entertaining friends and family. The sectional sofas allow ample seating for the family to enjoy each other’s company without overpowering the rooms. In the living room, the gallery wall creates visual impact as soon as you walk in the front door. This is our “statement piece” in this particular room, creating great interest and inviting guests to walk in and take a look. The mix of black and white photography and sketches with the hues of vibrant color in the abstract art provides a genuinely distinct point of view about the overall aesthetic of the home. Paul S.

This dark stained kitchen was completely transformed when we painted the upper cabinets in Sherwin Williams' 7008 "Alabaster" and the lower cabinets in Benjamin Moore's 445 "Greenwich Village". It's amazing what paint can do! Check out the "Before" photo to see the whole transformation.
