Dreamy and Pristine, our Downtown Cobourg New Build showcases a bright and airy open concept plan with a full butlers pantry. When we were working through the design of this beautiful kitchen space in a completely rebuilt home in old downtown, we wanted to bring in the texture and dimension of the muted cabinetry in the small details. Simple shaker doors, clean lines, decorative crown, and a custom range hood that is both simple and detailed. How to keep a clean modern look but still incorporate traditional details without feeling stuck between time......

One thing I love – and I mean love – about a brand new home is getting to see it months or even years after the final touches have been done. Newness is nice, but that lived-in feeling of a house that has settled into being a “home” is really what its all about. When we first met our clients, before the first shovel went into the ground, when the house was just an idea and the kitchen just a concept, the cutest little man in the pictures (the star of our shoot)......

These pictures need to see the light of day. We have so many perfect little vignette’s that we keep all to ourselves; but it’s time to start sharing and making space for new projects. Check out our gallery page: Gallery We’re off to a great start this year, with some brand new kitchens to showcase coming soon. Thanks again to @Chantelle Watt who really manages to bring out the best in our work. And to all our clients. It’s a big deal to be entrusted with your vision and invited into your homes.

Everyone wants a butler’s pantry, and I’m one of them. Actually, I also want a butler. And since I can only dream of either of them at this point, I’m going to show off this gorgeous modern farmhouse kitchen with its peek-a-boo butler’s pantry that’s just everything. The pantry is the most practical part of the kitchen. It hides the dry food and stores oils and necessities that we aren’t using at all times. If you ask me what the most overrated kitchen trend of the “aughts” was, hands-down, open shelving takes it.......

We’ve done a few photoshoots to wrap up 2019, so those can be expected in the new year. This one was one of our first new build’s, and one that we seem to repost every holiday season. Generally, we love to come back to a house 6-12 months after install. A kitchen looks better lived-in and loved. This one show how it just gets better from here. Thanks Chantelle Watt Photography, featured in The Every Mom Blog. (Check out the blog posts for links to the rug and florals) Through researches it has......

Old West End. Stepping out of the car into the street, I have this sense that the Avenue’s, or “the old west end” (as us locals have casually come to know it), has something special about it – something aside from the light distilling through the mature maples and the stillness amid the din of the city. There is an expectation here. I guess it starts with the common knowledge that when we get a call for a quote in “the old west end” it’s going to be meticulously designed, thoroughly reviewed, and......

I’ve been so excited to share this before and after post. It really is a gem and a total transformation, and worth getting out there so everyone can see the possibilities. One of those (dare-I-say) shocking renovations where the pictures really speak for themselves. We started working with a great couple who were trying to figure out a way to renovate their bungalow, in a subdivision south of Lansdowne Street here in Peterborough, where all the homes trend towards the “aught’s” in all their side-split glory. The kitchen was closed-in, separate from the......
