CCI Renovations/North Vancouver/Photos - Luiza Matysiak. This former bungalow went through a renovation 9 years ago that added a garage and a new kitchen and family room. It did not, however, address the clients need for larger bedrooms, more living space and additional bathrooms. The solution was to rearrange the existing main floor and add a full second floor over the old bungalow section. The result is a significant improvement in the quality, style and functionality of the interior and a more balanced exterior. The use of an open tread walnut staircase with walnut floors and accents throughout the home combined with well-placed accents of rock, wallpaper, light fixtures and paint colors truly transformed the home into a showcase.

Procrastination… not on this project! There was not a moment to spare with these two homeowners. When we came onto the scene it was quite evident there would be a stiff deadline–no exceptions. This was not because the clients were ruthless or mean in any way. Quite the opposite in fact. Our team wanted very much to deliver the couples’ remodeled bathrooms and kitchen BEFORE they delivered their first child! The timing would be close as we all knew. The baby’s due date was quickly approaching. The transformation of the rooms was thrilling for all of us as we watched mauve, sea foam greens and coral paint tones, as well as dilapidated peeling wallpaper mistaken for an abstract scene of a city scape, transform into a serene, tranquil home into which any family would be thrilled to welcome their first born. The progression of the remodeled rooms and the pregnancy were a joy to see. As our company name suggests the project and baby’s arrival were all “On time”.

A home owner asked me to totally make over her traditional master bath. She wanted it to blend with the rest of her traditional home, but updated & fresh. We visited several showrooms to see natural stones, ceramic & porcelain tiles. She fell in love with this green onyx slab. With this as our starting point, the design was created to feature this beautiful material. We removed everything down to the studs. A large recessed tub was replaced with a walk-in shower with a linear drain, seat, new plumbing fixtures and a frameless shower enclosure. This will provide ease of access for many years to come. In the shower, the green onyx tiles are accented with glass tiles creating a beautiful focal wall. The onyx slab is the countertop and splash for the double sink vanity. The sink faucets have a sculptural design. The contemporary cabinet provides a generous amount of storage. A new mirror is accented with an artistic wall sconce of cream alabaster. The flooring is porcelain throughout the room. An “area rug” in the green onyx separates the shower from the vanity. All the light fixtures are LED. She was over joyed with the final result.
