Renovation:

Timeless Transformation

White kitchen with island, wood countertop. Bar stools, stainless steel range. Dark wood floors. Window with natural light.

Overview

We completely redesigned this main floor, relocating the kitchen, removing walls, and adding a new window to bring in more light. By moving the kitchen into what was once a sunken family room, we gained much-needed storage and improved the overall flow of the space. The redesign made it possible for our clients to stay in the home they love, while meeting their needs for storage, functionality, and style. Our clients came to us with a small, outdated kitchen that no longer fit their lifestyle. Although they loved their home and didn’t want to move, they needed a solution to make the space functional again.

Result

The newly redesigned space is both functional and inviting, with a kitchen that now boasts optimal storage and improved flow. A window above the sink lets in natural light, while carefully placed lighting throughout the kitchen and dining room enhances both work zones and ambiance for entertaining. Removing the load-bearing wall between the dining room and kitchen created an open-concept space, supported by new concrete footings in the basement. The kitchen features a balanced mix of white and dark finishes, with a live-edge walnut island and peninsula adding warmth and comfort. The space is completed with custom Canadian-made furniture, including a dining table that seats twelve, creating a welcoming environment for both everyday living and family gatherings.

We knew for some time that WS was the company we wanted to deal with for a major renovation. We appreciate how every detail is handled by one company, and the design and quality of material and workmanship are second to none. The team was amazing to work with, and any concerns and questions were answered and addressed immediately. The on-site staff were always friendly – not only to our family but anyone that came to the house. WS is a remarkable company that we will and have recommended to everyone who comes to our ‘new house.’ Without exception, people always gasp at the transformation and comment on how beautiful it is. We still can't believe it's our house. Thank you to every single team member.
