For a family that loves hosting large gatherings, this expansive home is a dream; boasting two unique entertaining spaces, each expanding onto outdoor-living areas, that capture its magnificent views. The sheer size of the home allows for various ‘experiences’; from a rec room perfect for hosting game day and an eat-in wine room escape on the lower-level, to a calming 2-story family greatroom on the main. Floors are connected by freestanding stairs, framing a custom cascading-pendant light, backed by a stone accent wall, and facing a 3-story waterfall. A custom metal art installation, templated from a cherished tree on the property, both brings nature inside and showcases the immense vertical volume of the house. Photography: Paul Grdina

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.

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.

Tired of their cramped master bath, this CT couple wanted more room, an enlarged shower, a bathtub, and a natural aesthetic. With 40 square feet added from the adjacent closet, the stage was set for Rachel Peterson, of Simply Baths, Inc., to transform the space. Outfitted with nature-inspired beauty and luxury comforts, this bathroom is now a relaxing retreat. Featuring Dura Supreme Cabinetry
