The close floor view shows small black hexagons arranged within a white hex-tile field. This repeating mosaic pattern brings French bistro character to the project, linking kitchen and bathroom floors through a consistent geometric detail and clean black-and-white contrast. Cedarstone Renovations connected this Toronto kitchen and bathroom project with black-and-white hex tiles and gold accents. Bathroom updates, a refreshed powder room and repainted kitchen cabinet doors create a coordinated interior with a French bistro influence.

Kitchen - transitional kitchen idea in Grand Rapids

This small bathroom was updated to provide better functionality - more storage, ease of access with roll-out drawers, safety and comfort features such as grab bar, thermostatic valve for shower/bath, comfort height toilet, night lighting, timer ventilation fan, non-slip flooring. Repetition of mosaic marble/glass backsplash on tub face and wall behind toilet and vanity adds interest to otherwise neutral fixed elements of marble floor and white quartz countertop, and bevilled white large format subway tile in tub/shower enclosure. Patterned floral wallpaper on single wall adds impact.

THE SETUP Our journey began with a familiar face — Alicia had previously transformed the client’s mother’s home, establishing a trusted relationship that naturally led to this personal project. The client desired a kitchen that truly reflected her own style while facilitating seamless entertaining. Design Vision: The original kitchen, segregated from the dining area by a wall, hindered the flow of interaction and space. Our client envisioned a unified area where she could engage with guests in both the kitchen and dining room simultaneously. Moreover, the space lacked a central island, relying instead on a floorplan anchored by cabinetry in a u-shaped layout. Design Objectives: Open up the space for an airy design conducive to entertaining large gatherings Modernize the kitchen to be both stylish and functional Integrate the design with the home’s new black-framed windows and doors Relocate the cooktop to a central position to enhance usability and interaction Design Challenges: Removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room would necessitate the rerouting of existing HVAC ductwork that services the upper floor Limited pantry space in the existing kitchen The existing u-shaped layout of the kitchen restricted functionality and storage options Insufficient space for wine storage The client desired a raised-furniture look for the island, but without showing a new downdraft vent THE RENEWED SPACE Design Solutions: We added a second HVAC unit to the upper floor and rerouted the existing ductwork in that wall Created tall pantry pullouts on either side of the fridge to maximize dry goods storage Designed a long island to facilitate cooking stations and dining moments Created a stylish open display cabinet for wine Engineered a dual-design island with a footed floating aesthetic on one side, and a full floor reach on the other to conceal the new downdraft ventilation. Paired with the newly opened adjacent dining room featuring a wet bar, the kitchen has become a stylish and highly functional space for cooking and entertaining. Following a large baby shower hosted by the client (which seamlessly accommodated an 80-person gathering!), it is clear that the new design not only meets but exceeds the needs for hosting and everyday living. This project was a harmonious blend of the client’s vision and Alicia’s innovative design solutions, resulting in a kitchen that truly embodies personalized elegance and functionality.
