A concrete city condo gets a modern-country reno.
Beth Hitchcock's new condo was a blank slate. With the guidance from Michael Penney, Beth took this bare room as an opportunity to reinvent her style. Drawn to colourful, slouchy, lived-in rooms, Beth and Michael opted for a country-meets-city aesthetic.
An open kitchen-dining space with bohemian charm.
Apart from swapping the contemporary pendants for industrial-style ones, the only other changes applied to this condo kitchen are pure decorating. Michael added vintage pottery, hits of copper and weathered herb pots to give the new space a well-used feel.
Before: Kitschy, Cluttered Kitchen
Clashing blue cupboards and green walls were the least of this kitchen's problems.
Old barnboard cabinets, inadequate counterspace and incongruous Spanish-style arched doorways in a cramped space added up to a cluttered, unattractive kitchen.
Custom cabinetry and antique finds restore this kitchen to its 19th-century glory.
The homeowners were able to add square footage to this space by removing false walls and ceilings, uncovering the original stone wall and wooden ceiling in the process. Leaving a space between the tops of the cabinets and the coffered ceiling creates the illusion of extra height, a feeling that is furthered by mounting the island on feet instead of on the floor. The practical wood-look ceramic floor tiles complement the dark wood, and feel authentically French. Antique windows from a neighbouring town enhance the historical feeling.
