Projects Whole-Home Renovation
The Short Version
Oak cabinets, a sunken living room, and a one-piece fibreglass shower. This home worked, but it lived small and dark. We opened it up, warmed it through, and filmed the whole thing, from the first wall down to the last light fixture.
The Starting Point
A Good Home That Lived Small and Dark
The house had space and a great setting in Yarrow. What it did not have was flow. A closed oak kitchen, a sunken living room behind a spindle railing, and a dark accent wall kept the light from moving and the rooms from talking to each other.
So we opened it up. The oak kitchen became a bright, sociable space around a sage-green island topped in white quartz. The living room lost its railing and gained a full-height millwork wall with a fireplace and floating shelves. The dated fibreglass shower became a walk-in with stone-look tile and black fixtures.
Because the whole renovation was filmed, you do not have to imagine any of it. You can watch the house change, wall by wall, in the film just below.

Everyday spaces the family actually uses, from a pool-table lounge to a bright, plant-filled sunroom.
Modern black-and-wood details.
Black fixtures, warm wood shelving, and statement lighting give the home its current, grounded feel.
