Style is personal. That’s why we work closely with our clients to design a space that suits their individual style – whether that’s ultra-modern, vintage nostalgic, contemporary, eclectic or something else entirely.
The following samples of our work gives you an idea of how we have planned and reimagined our clients’ spaces in different styles that reflect each of their lifestyle and personal preferences. Designing with our clients’ style as the key inspiration means that each creation is developed uniquely for them…and that’s what we would do for you!
Live in your Home Forever
Aging in Place - in Safety, Style and in Comfort
Toronto Bathroom Renovation
Photography: John Trigiani
If want to live in your home forever, set yourself up for long term comfort and safety!
In this bathroom plan, I reimagined the space to include key features including wide areas to navigate through the space, with a wide doorway, shower entrance and bathtub surround so my clients can sit, and then swing their legs over into the tub. On both sides of the tub are grab bars to help get in and out. There is a zero-threshold shower, which means the entrance to the shower is flush with the rest of the floor making it easier to walk-in and possible to wheel in. You will notice many grab bars throughout, including a towel holder, shower shelf and toilet paper holder which can all hold the full weight of an adult. There is a fold-down chair in the shower area which can be a spot to dry off…or a place for a caregiver to provide help without getting soaked.
We work closely, and collaboratively with ALL clients on every size bathroom. What’s on your wish list? Even if you don’t know what exactly you want or need, we can work together to figure it out!
Moving? We can help!
IF you are moving to a new house, condo or retirement home - upsizing or downsizing…we can help!
Toronto Move from house to retirement condo
This project was all about SPACE PLANNING using existing furniture and choosing fabrics for the favourite pieces that my client wanted to refresh. We needed to add in ONLY a few NEW items. My client loves the colour blue and wanted a calming space.
The sofa was reupholstered in a beautiful pattern in tones of blues and cream. The lovely arm chairs were discovered in my client’s basement and reupholstered with a blue and cream geometric pattern! As you can see in the background, the living room opens into the den as a large open space. So, the design extends the colour palette into the den to make everything work together. The carpet is new. The coffee table, side tables and lamps were moved from the old house and placed in position as indicated in the space plan.
On moving day, my client knew exactly where everything would go!

Modern Kitchen Make-over
Dream Kitchen for Discerning Clients
Toronto Kitchen Renovation
My clients love to cook and entertain. They required a high-end kitchen with generous storage space for equipment, 2 dishwashers, ample counterspace, large island, and a desk.
The kitchen features:
- an oversized island with two waterfalls in a light quartz also applied to the counters and backsplash
- Flat-front white cabinetry with deep drawers for many pots, and pans.
- Contrasting charcoal colour for the floor tiles, kitchen table, sink material, and toe kick
- Custom-made glass pendant lights for the island and over the table
The clients were over-joyed with their dream kitchen.

Contemporary Kitchen Connection
Hub of the Home
North Forest Hill Kitchen Renovation
This Kitchen project began by developing a plan. The space was totally reimagined which included taking down a wall, and gutting everything else - all of the cabinets, appliances, and floor – to open up the flow. We left the plumbing in its original location to save some money.
With new custom cabinets, granite counters, hand-painted feature tiles above the range, a large island, custom counter stools, and beautiful pendant lighting, we transformed this humdrum kitchen into the social hub of the home – perfect for cooking, eating and entertaining.

The rooms feels luxurious and comfortable – ideal for parties, cozy chats or solitary relaxation.

Addition of smoked glass adds privacy to front of house windows in shower area.
Modern Tranquility
Mid-town Toronto Bedroom Makeover
This bedroom was reconfigured and fabrics were selected for my client in shades of plum, which is her favourite colour. The new plan also required a custom bedframe and headboard in precise proportions to accommodate her back issues. A sleek vanity, storage bench, mirrors, radiator cover, and custom designed built-in millwork for additional storage completed the plan.
The made-to-order leather headboard is framed by custom window treatments as the visual focal point. This bedroom was transformed into into a highly functional and soothing place for rest and relaxation.
