Coastal Kitchen Revival

Once cluttered with mismatched storage furniture and bright blue paint, this kitchen lacked both function and harmony. Our clients, theatre industry professionals with a love for colour and a vision for a coastal-inspired space, wanted to prepare for retirement with a kitchen that would be beautiful, efficient, and uniquely theirs.

We were tasked with refreshing this small kitchen with a coastal palette of blue, white, and green. We needed to add functional storage, more usable counter space all while incorporating some existing design elements – the grey tile floors, glass block window, and antique Tiffany-style pendant.

Luxury kitchen with large walnut island
The kitchen was located in an addition at the back of the house and while it had no structural issues, nothing in the space was level. Creative cabinet moulding work (and a very skilled construction team) allowed us to make everything appear perfectly aligned.

Standout Features

  • Full bank of lower & upper cabinets replaced the mismatched storage furniture
  • Framed-in refrigerator creates. a more tailored look
  • Clever open shelving for cookbooks helps make a tricky corner more functional
  • The existing tile floor received a professional cleaning & grout recolouring for a new look
Linear party sink for kitchen island
Neutral kitchen with mushroom cabinets and luxury panel-ready appliances

Casey’s Favorite Detail:

 “I love the varying patterns on the painted backsplash tile, mixed with solid tiles it’s enough to add interest without being overwhelming.”

LOCATION
Toronto

Our client, a young professioanl, had been living in his downtown Toronto condo since University and wanted to replace his thrifted dorm room decor with quality pieces that better fit the space. 

With a successful YouTube channel doing commentary on popular TV shows, he also needed a comfortable space to work without distraction and glare from the massive windows.

In the bedroom we removed the desk as a second bedroom was being converted into a home office allowing the bed to move away from the window. Nightstands, bedside lighting, wall decor and new blackout shades were added to create a more sophisticated space.

In the living room a custom condo-sized sofa creates a comfrotable space for watching TV while the coffee table features a lift-up top allowing it to double as a laptop desk. The vertical blinds were all removed to allow for motorized blackout shades to be installed on the windows and patio doors.
