As our kids say, it’s been a minute, but we’re still here! ⁣

For this rainy Tuesday, we’re sharing a mudroom transformation. ⁣

Staying true to the home’s historic charm, we revamped the space by adding two coat closets including refinished vintage doors, a much-needed powder room, custom cabinetry, a vintage sink (that faucet? yes please!), and of course a nook for 🐶. ⁣

This mudroom is now ready to serve this growing family!⁣

Yesterday’s solar eclipse was magical 🌑 ⁣

It was a great reminder of how little we control..in a good way. ⁣

Sure, we make decisions that affect our day to day but really the universe is so much more powerful. ⁣

It was a great reminder to let the waters of old patterns fall away. What isn’t serving you any longer?⁣

Welcome the fresh light of new perspectives just as the eclipse renewed the sky. ⁣

Be open and grateful for what’s already on the way to you!⁣

Story Time

There’s something special about having your own space when you’re a kid.

Growing up watching Home Alone I always wanted a cool attic space. A place where I could build a blanket fort, display my stuffies, alphabetize my books (no? Just me? 😅)…

This attic was the perfect blank slate. It had great head height, a surprising amount of sunlight, and was ready for a transformation!

We removed, honed and finished the existing attic plank floor, replaced the broken window, and used restored beams as ceiling and wall caps to match the floor.

This attic is now the perfect nook to dive into your favorite story.

Definite Little Critter fan over here!

Safety First

While we love historic homes, our top priority is safety.

With a quick moving toddler, and one on the way (congratulations! 💕) - this lovely historic house is home to a busy family.

They wanted to preserve the original woodwork but felt uneasy navigating around the low banister.

So, we came up with a plan.

We carefully removed the banister and balusters, built a foot high wall, and reinstalled the original balusters and banister.

In the end, the timeless woodwork stands tall, while the foot high wall adds necessary height and strength.

Old-world charm with modern-day safety never looked better!

Restoring the exterior of this coach house was definitely a project, but we loved (almost) every minute of it!⁣

1. The coach house turned this yard into the perfect art studio, a cozy spot to relax by the fireplace and the best seat for summer thunderstorms ⁣⛈️

2. The coach house had settled quite a bit so new footings and floor joists were a must! Thank you Ziplevel

3. While we waited for the custom glass doors to arrive, Shane installed a temporary door 🙃

4. Square nail construction helps us date the coach house to pre 1890s⁣ 🔨⁣

5. This window had been covered by board and batten. We removed the board and batten and repaired the window pane using a piece of wavy glass restored from a local barn⁣. Don’t worry, the vines are growing back nicely 🌿⁣

6. The rear door (which we assume was the customer entrance) has a 1858 MacDonald Tabacco Company tin nailed to it. Any thoughts on that one? ⁣Zoom in on photo 2 for another look⁣ 👀

7. Because who doesn’t love cherry blossoms? 🌸 ⁣

Stay tuned for the interior transformation. ⁣

Springtime Blossom

This 1800s coach house was in dire need of some love and attention.

So, with a clear vision, boundless creativity, and a little work (ok… a lot of work!), this once forgotten space was transformed into an inspiring retreat for art and relaxation.

Now framed by blossoms and brimming with creative energy, this studio is a true testament to the beauty of change.

Don’t stop growing. Embrace change.

“A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” - Steve Jobs

Thank you to .interiors for showing us exactly what this wall needed.

What used to be a blank slate builder sitting room is now a fireplace focal point for the living space.

Add a Samsung Frame TV above the fireplace and you have the perfect combination of function and style.

Display the Artwork⁣

Minutes before photographing this site we discussed whether we should “stage the space”. ⁣

The owners had returned home and been living in the space for a few months before the photoshoot. ⁣

Should we remove baby gates? How about the toddler jackets hanging in the mudroom? Should we add a glass vase of fresh tulips? ⁣

We decided to keep it exactly as it is. ⁣

Our clients are real people, with real families, and real lives. ⁣

It’s important to remember that although it may be a job site for the duration of the project - it’s a home first. ⁣

Our mission is to create beautiful spaces – including the ones that display kids’ artwork proudly. ⁣

Raise It Up⁣
 ⁣
During any renovation, we always ask our clients what they love and what they don’t love (sometimes it’s easier to identify what you love while stating what you don’t love)!⁣
 ⁣
This client loves clean lines and was adamant about adding a raised dishwasher. During the design process, we incorporated this Monogram panel-ready dishwasher, and they absolutely love it! Washing dishes is hard enough, why make it harder by bending down!?⁣

Fireside Feels⁣
 ⁣
Nothing beats the comfort of nestling on the couch by the fire. ⁣
 ⁣
It’s moments like these that remind us to slow down and savour the simple joys. ⁣
 ⁣
Add a comfy throw, a captivating book, a glass of wine (and maybe even a 🐶) and you have the perfect evening. ⁣

High Visions⁣
 ⁣
Vision isn’t just seeing things as they are, but as they could be—like this backyard. ⁣
 ⁣
It’s a reminder that knowing what you want in life can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. ⁣
 ⁣
From the picture-perfect low-maintenance turf (🐶 approved), to the year-round swim spa (a must for Canadian winters!), every corner of this space was crafted with intention, mirroring the clarity of a life well-envisioned. ⁣
 ⁣
It’s more than a backyard; it’s a testament to high aspirations and the beauty of bringing them to life. ⁣
 ⁣
So, take a moment, look at your own space, and ask yourself—what do I want to create in my life? ⁣
