Before and After: Downtown Hamilton Century Home

It’s been a long time coming for this project to come to a close. Sometimes, I wait to order pieces of furniture to make sure it’s the right fit for the home once all the renovations are complete. The open bookcase from Crate and Barrel seemed to be on back order forever (no surprise in this industry…everything always seems to be on back order!), but it was certainly worth the wait. I love the contrast of the dark wood next to the white cabinetry. Anyways, I am ready to do some show and tell from this project which we started this past January.

Here is what was on the wish list for the renovation:
– open concept
– more functional kitchen
– create more storage
– increase size of kitchen window
– new flooring, lighting (the usual updates to an old home)
– a fireplace, as the old existing one was tucked in behind the walls and was a coal burner
– a home that is comfortable and classic

Seems easy enough… so we got to work…

Here is what we started with…

And as the demo began and the work progressed, we found interesting things behind the walls, such as the old fireplace and you know, asbestos, but we took care of that.

And finally, here is the open concept home that the clients were hoping for…
