Living Space Renovation with White Brick Fireplace Cozy

CHILDHOOD HOME RENOVATION

It had always been the plan that his childhood home would be this couple’s retirement home. They looked to us to help them take the 1920ish home out of the 1970s, bring it into the 21st century and create a more modern open concept main floor.

BEFORE

ABOUT THE PROJECT

We removed a powder room at the back of the house to make way for a flex room addition with a three-piece bathroom. It is currently used as a den with the possibility of being walled off in the future and turned into a bedroom if main floor living becomes a necessity or to welcome an aging parent. The addition also has a closet and a pantry for overflow from the kitchen.

We kept the colour décor in the home monochromatic to help show off the homeowner’s beautiful artwork and colourful oriental accent rugs. Her eye for interior design shines through in her choice of the unique light fixtures throughout.

We reconfigured the second floor, removing a bedroom to turn it into a master bedroom and a large ensuite with double vanity, angled freestanding tub and large doorless shower with a seat. Custom cubby storage/display and recessed soap niches provide storage, and a half wall next to the toilet adds privacy. The remainder of the second floor holds a guest bedroom, bathroom and office.

New black-framed windows throughout, a large patio door to the new back deck, new white oak hardwood and tile flooring throughout complete this renovation.

This is what our homeowner had to say:

“We had the pleasure of working with the Lagois team for a full house renovation including an addition in 2019. We found the team extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the process. They were able to bring their ideas to us as well as listen to what our hopes and dreams were for the project. They were responsive to any and all questions that we had as we were going through the process – all of their contractors were personable and professional. The job was completed to a very high-quality level and on time. We are very pleased that we chose Lagois for this work and would highly recommend them.”
