Dunblane Project

A new pale yellow front door with a decorative glass panel, black hardware and tan shingle siding.
Typical of 1960s builds, this house was very compartmentalized. It had restricted space and lacked a cohesive flow. By removing two load-bearing walls, we were able to transform this closed-off home into a vibrant, open and functional space.
Location
St. Catharines
Type of project
Main floor remodel
Date completed
October 2022

This bright pop of color perfectly matches our client's personality.

The old kitchen, with plain white cabinets, a grey countertop, a double sink and a white dishwasher.
Before

Their old kitchen was basic and missing that wow factor.

This kitchen hadn't seen an upgrade since it was originally built.

The space created by tearing out a wall made a more cohesive kitchen and room for bigger appliances.

The new countertops are a massive upgrade from their original ones.

This hood range is both functional AND a stunning focal point.

The main floor before: a grey hallway beside an arched opening into a bright room with wood floors.
Before

To create a bigger kitchen, we removed this wall which awkwardly divided their main floor.

Our clients wanted this room to be utilized as a part of their kitchen.

The clients now have a huge dining area perfect for entertaining.

The pantry before: an empty closet with grey marbled shelves and a white organizer on the door.
Before

The clients wanted a modern pantry where they have organized and easily accessible storage.

Pull-out wood shelves stocked with food inside a tall white cabinet beside the silver fridge.
After

These custom slide-out drawers are the perfect storage solution.

The dining room before: grey walls, a bowl pendant light, wood floor and a patio door with blinds.

This room never gets used because it's closed off from the rest of the main floor.
