Alexanian's had such fun working with blogger Heather in Heels from Erin, ON. Heather's guest room was transformed with a fresh coat of paint, DIY bench makeover and cozy white linens. The Enigma rug Heather chose pulls together the whole space and suits the "old world" feel of this century home. Photograph by: Heather Travis

Before this laundry room was transformed it felt tired with peeling wallpaper and faded oak hardwood floors. We moved the ref and sink locations to get a more functional layout and increase folding counter space next to the washer and dryer. We also added a drip-dry hanging rod for clothes and a nook for brooms and mop storage. The cabinetry is Kitchen Craft, Lexington maple door style, in an Artic White painted finish with a 3 cm Cambria Whitehall quartz on the countertops. The laundry floor has The Tile Shop Metropolis White 12” hex. On the entire window wall, we installed Interceramic Restoration black 1” porcelain hex mosaic tile. For the sink, we installed a Blanco One medium single bowl undermount stainless steel sink paired with the Blanco Napa single pull-down faucet in chrome.

Nestled in the heart of Boulder, this 1950s ranch home was thoughtfully transformed to embrace modern living while honoring the charm and character of the neighborhood. The client wished for their home to become a place of gathering and community. This design embraces the open-concept floor plan by dissolving boundaries and encouraging organic interactions between the spaces within the home and with the surrounding landscape.
At the heart of this transformation stands a strategically positioned wood-burning stove, which can be enjoyed from the dining or living areas, perfect for cozy winter nights. The kitchen dining space emerges as the vibrant epicenter of this family-friendly home with a fluid transition to the patio and garden. Vaulted ceilings accentuated with skylights illuminate the space with natural light, creating an airy, expansive feel; while the French oak flooring introduces a touch of grounding warmth and nature. The bedroom wing, intentionally secluded, offers an intimate sanctuary. En-suite bathrooms feature hints of luxury, including a steam shower and a soaking tub, elevating the space for an indulgent spa experience.
Beyond the aesthetics, the fire-wise design includes non-combustible exterior materials, defensible space, and closed soffits. This fully electric home also prioritizes sustainability with features such as electric vehicle and solar power readiness, water-conserving landscaping, and an aging-in-place layout.

This project was completed off Lakeshore Drive in Grosse Pointe, where we undertook a full landscape transformation. The scope included removing the entire existing landscape, stripping all sod, and clearing debris. We constructed a new front entrance with pavers and built a large patio featuring an outdoor kitchen and a gas-powered fireplace.
The project began in 2024 with the demolition and site preparation. In April 2025, we started paver patio construction, which incorporated multiple pillars, outdoor lighting, and extensive paver steps & walls —all built using Unilock Pisa2 materials. The planting plan, designed by landscape architect Robert Marzolf, introduced a variety of trees and plantings selected for privacy, seasonal color, and alignment with the overall aesthetic. The project was completed with the installation of a new sprinkler system and fresh sod throughout the property.
