How it all began…

When I first saw this home on the market, it was the area that spoke to me more than the house itself. Although the layout of the house was gorgeous, I couldn't see past the colours and finishings. So my husband - being the man he is- asked, “then what would you do to make it better?” I’m sure there were many times throughout the following year that he regretted asking me that question.

Home is where a lot of our life is lived, so I knew that there would be a lot of decisions that needed to be made that would greatly affect our everyday lives. We have 2 children: a very active young boy that wants to play every single sport on earth and our strong minded 12-year-old daughter (going on 18), who is my worst and best critic all rolled into one.

We literally took this entire home and molded it to each of us as individuals and as a family.

The paint, rounded pillars, bulk heads, knock-down ceiling and dated bar were some of the few things we tackled first.

Then onto the kitchen, family room and my personal favourite area of design: the lighting

Once the ball started rolling, there was no stopping. We tore down walls, added closets and re-did the bathrooms. A space for everyone: a bunk bed for my son and all of the future sleepovers he will want to have and for my 12 going on 18 daughter…. PINK was NOT an option, so black, white and a pop of red will do (for now).

Near the end of this project, we had a few last spaces we wanted to create. We thought these would give us the opportunity to relax if needed or reenergize when we felt like this was a never ending battle

Needless to say, this project had the MOST difficult clients, but the end result was so worth it. The choices and decisions we made helped us make this house our beautiful home.

A New Fresh Look for Heather

Heather was one of my very first clients, she wanted to freshen up her space and create a home that not only embodied her sense of style but also met her current needs, and add value for the future. We worked closely together to ensure that her vision was turned into reality, and she was left with a space she loved coming home to.

Her main focus was her kitchen, the worn out floors, old appliances, and dated cabinetry made the space feel dark and drab. She was ready to fully transform her kitchen space.

So we decided to take this outdated kitchen and give it a crisp refresh by opening up the space with bright white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The clean grey walls and modern tiles, gave this kitchen everything it needed.

We then moved on to the sitting area. Heather loved how her original sofa was made and couldn’t find anything new quite like it.

So we reupholstered her original couch and added some great new accent pieces to give her a space she would love as much as her kitchen.

The end result was a huge success and a great way to start this journey of interior design!

““Aman worked with me on the reno in my kitchen. I am so grateful for her expertise. We quickly shared my vision and she was brilliant at keeping me on track. She always listened to my ideas and her input was invaluable.

I’m very happy with the end result. “”
