Meyer/Thompson Residence

Since this is the home they plan to stay in long term, the Meyer/Thompson family decided it was time for some updating and invested in a whole house remodel. They weren't happy with their initial contractor and called me in to fix the mess. Torn up, raw, open walls was my starting point. The kitchen ceiling was raised, gas and waste lines put in place and electrical installed. Once that was completed, they hired me for the rest of the remodel. Art, who is a part time chef, needed a kitchen that was functional and reflected his love for cooking. The kitchen was reconfigured and expanded to include a large commercial Wolf stove with ventilation hood and heating lamps, dual stainless steel dishwasher, under counter microwave, large refrigerator, hinged mixer drawer and an extra prep sink. The scope of services also included energy efficient Cree LED lights throughout the home, a fully remodeled downstairs guest bathroom with Venetian plaster, and a new stone fireplace facade and mantel. Sustainable bamboo flooring now covers the entire first floor. Art and Diana have an eye for detail and used high quality materials throughout, we were thrilled to team up with them and finish the project on time and within budget. It was a joy and a pleasure getting to know Art and Diana and earn their trust in the remodel of their beautiful home. They have since called me to remodel their upstairs guest bathroom, so new photos shall be posted soon!

Victor/Levy Residence

The owner's of this project like contemporary art, design, and color...and had a clear vision for their new kitchen. They wanted to incorporate colored glass tiles in a random pattern throughout the white glass subway tile backsplash. With the color palette selected, three glass tiles were set in a row randomly and individually to create a very unique design. The scope of services included a new kitchen layout and design, custom cherry cabinets, Caesar Stone "Ruga Grey" honed counter top, Danze faucet, artistic backsplash layout and all new appliances and installation. It was fun working together to creatively meet their expectations and vision. I loved the opportunity to create something new and unique!

Barrett Residence

I had the pleasure of working with Dee Barrett on the restoration of her 1921 Historic Bungalow located in the Ontario Model Colony. The scope of services included electrical, new french doors, butler's pantry conversion and entire kitchen remodel. Dee prefers clean, simple lines and wanted the kitchen to reflect the homes true 1920's architecture. New custom white cabinets, white subway tile, black honed granite, period hardware, frosted glass, and under counter lighting brought back the original charm while keeping the small galley kitchen light and airy. I am thrilled that the Berrett residence was the recipient of Ontario's Model Colony Historic Restoration Award for 2010. It was an honor and joy to work on this restoration project.
