Berkeley

This show-stopper home in the heart of Toronto’s Cabbage town, is home to our client’s who had recently downsized from their family home north of the city.

They were looking to infuse a contemporary vibe to the otherwise, traditional Victorian era home and longed for low maintenance materials and a fun, eclectic décor. Their South African roots can be felt throughout the home with nods to this in art, wallpaper and motifs.

The main floor was opened up and the kitchen placed more central in the floor plan to bridge the front formal dining and living areas with the casual lounge area at the back of the house.

The third floor was transformed from a bare and lofty, lounge area, to a bright yet cozy primary suite. The vaulted ceilings were clad in tongue and groove wood and a custom wall to wall headboard was installed to warm and ground the space.

Since this project’s completion in 2020, it has been featured multiple times in Canada’s House & Home magazine and was the Home of the Month in April 2022!

We had bought a 160 year old Victorian that was in need of attention! Andi came highly recommended by a realtor/neighbour - and she and her team more than lived up to expectations! From the outset, Andi helped guide our decision making with respect to the structural and design elements of the renovation. She worked closely and collaboratively with the builder, applying her expertise in such areas as kitchen design, bathroom design, light switch and light placement and on and on. When it came to the actual decorating, Andi quickly keyed into who we are and what we like as a family. Picture boards helped guide our choices through the pandemic when shops were closed. What we valued were the options provided ,the respect when we made choices and the guidance with the details.... such important things as cupboard handles, lighting in the bathrooms, cushions in the sitting room. What we also valued was the accuracy of the project management and billing. There was never a question as to where we stood against budget. We absolutely love the final product. We have a house that we love to live in on a daily basis and which lends itself well to entertaining friends and neighbours. None of it would have been possible without Andi. We have no hesitation in recommending her services to others.
