The homeowners of this condo sought our assistance when downsizing from a large family home on Howe Sound to a small urban condo in Lower Lonsdale, North Vancouver. They asked us to incorporate many of their precious antiques and art pieces into the new design. Our challenges here were twofold; first, how to deal with the unconventional curved floor plan with vast South facing windows that provide a 180 degree view of downtown Vancouver, and second, how to successfully merge an eclectic collection of antique pieces into a modern setting. We began by updating most of their artwork with new matting and framing. We created a gallery effect by grouping like artwork together and displaying larger pieces on the sections of wall between the windows, lighting them with black wall sconces for a graphic effect. We re-upholstered their antique seating with more contemporary fabrics choices - a gray flannel on their Victorian fainting couch and a fun orange chenille animal print on their Louis style chairs. We selected black as an accent colour for many of the accessories as well as the dining room wall to give the space a sophisticated modern edge. The new pieces that we added, including the sofa, coffee table and dining light fixture are mid century inspired, bridging the gap between old and new. White walls and understated wallpaper provide the perfect backdrop for the colourful mix of antique pieces. Interior Design by Lori Steeves, Simply Home Decorating.

Terri and Jim loved many things about their home, but the outdated, poorly designed kitchen, laundry room that was shoved into the corner of the kitchen, and loft that was annexed from other living spaces needed a complete makeover. The house is nestled on a large lot filled with mature trees that offer filtered morning and afternoon light. Establishing a strong visual link from the front yard through the house and into the back yard was a high design priority, as well as connecting the living spaces with an open floor plan, all without increasing the overall footprint of the home. Agate Architecture's completed remodel includes a full kitchen and dining room renovation, a new mud/laundry room, renovation of the second-floor loft, a new staircase, and exterior improvements. The use of Douglas Fir as a main unifying material and simple clean lines lends a bright Pacific Northwest style, with natural light in abundance. Terri and Jim’s home is now a truly exceptional space for everyday use and family entertaining.

The lauhala palm leaves have been popular in tropical regions for many years because of their versatility when it comes to roofing materials, floor coverings, wall coverings, and bedding mats. Often found in the South Pacific and the Philippines, lauhala woven mats have become a common fixture in many commercial environments, homes, and backyards today. The coloring in lauhala matting often ranges from tan to darker browns once it has been finished. This natural fiber decorative matting is as versatile as it is durable. Use to underlay a solid roofed Palapa or as a wall covering, privacy screen, cabana matting, to accent Tiki Bars or even line tables for a party. When cutting and installing lauhala matting, you can use glue, adhesive or Gaffer tape be sure to do some research into where you’ll be installing it as well as to the conditions of your surroundings. As a quick tip, you can use the remnants or fallen pieces of matting as tools for covering up any potential problem areas or simply weave them back into the matting. Select Lauhala, Bac Bac, Abaca, or Lampac matting to help spruce up your tropical paradise! Lauhala ceiling mat.

This outdoor living space is created easily by laying pavers down and walling off the living section from the remainder of the entrance to the patio. By adding some outdoor seating, the owners have easily created an outdoor living space perfect for gathering the family or a couple of friends. By building this space on pavers instead of a grass or sod area, we eliminate bugs, weather changes to the living space area, and more mowing! Perfect for low maintenance yard-seekers.

Here's a complete bathroom remodel done for a family in Long Beach. Though this bathroom may look like a simple small and compact bathroom, this room holds a lot of great features. The main attraction of this bathroom comes from the open shower that is accompanied by a accented black tile wall. This shower is also featured with a full length niche for shower accessories and a bench for extra support. The bathroom is enhanced more by the golden features that come from the knobs and faucet. This bathroom is the perfect master bathroom extension.
