Our clients purchased a newly renovated house -- contemporary style -- and had absolutely no idea how to furnish or decorate it. First priority were the rooms used most: kitchen and family room with extra seating for when family and friends drop in.
____With two small children and out-of-town parents often staying with them, our clients wanted the family room to be functional but at the same time, to be elegant and stylish. We started with Hunter Douglas Pirouette blinds on the large window and sliding glass door for privacy and light control. The sectional sofa/bed combination, covered in a very durable but attractive fabric, provides plenty of seating. The storage/ottoman, where all the children's toys are kept, allows for additional seating when required. Toss cushions, wool area rug, lighting and fabulous artwork complete the serene décor.

____Our clients asked for seating for six in the breakfast area of their kitchen, with the ability to increase to seating for eight. The espresso brown solid-wood table and chairs resonate with the granite countertops and provide contrast to the light-coloured cabinetry. A new pendant light fixture provides much needed light when the table is sometimes used as a desk when our client works from home. (Detail 02)
____The striped fabric in the roman shade reflects the soft colours found in this room. Its texture contrasts with the smooth surfaces found on the stainless steel appliances, glass tile backsplash and granite countertops. (Detail 03)
____Our client sits with her morning coffee, enjoying the serenity and peacefulness around her, while preparing for the hectic pace that the rest of the day will bring.
