Dining Kitchen
This project features a gorgeous home on a secluded street in Lytton Park, Toronto. Having lived in the home for about 10 yrs. my clients had under & over used rooms and so our remit was to make the main floor and laundry room more functional and more suitable for the family and flow in the house.
This was obtained firstly by opening up the entrance foyer. We pushed the closet back into the adjacent room and took down the archway separating the spaces. We increased the size of the hall closet and laid the same herringbone floor throughout. By adding a partially glazed door to the end of the foyer we were able to steal some light back into this once dark area. The white glass beaded chandelier is an understated show-stopper!
The original dining room was converted to a home office / music room. It’s a beautiful serene space and the light – there are windows on three walls in this room – provides a wonderful glow. This room is all about the details – layers of subtle patterns and textures are blended with metallics and woods.
The kitchen eat-in area was transformed to a covetable bistro. We maxed out the seating by building a custom banquette and adding stunning wicker chairs that have a beautiful detail on the back. We also maxed out the storage by adding drawers beneath the seating and incorporating a broom / storage closet at the far end of the banquette. The grass-cloth herringbone paper and the brass sconces provide a lovely backdrop.
The laundry room was reconfigured with lots of functional storage and wraparound countertops.
