| project: 
              Ground floor refitting, Mississauga 
             design objectives: The updating of this 
              forty year old home involved a complete renovation of the kitchen, 
              powder room and freshening of most of the finishes on the ground 
              floor. Tiered carpet was removed, and the existing hardwood refinished, 
              trim and floor tiles were replaced and all the walls were painted 
              to create a flow through the space as a whole. The kitchen itself 
              was kept fairly modest with simple but customized white cabinetry 
              that maximized the amount of light from the east facing garden while 
              optimizing the available space.  materials: post-catalyzed lacquer on 
              mdf, solid surfacing counter tops, glass tile back splash, porcelain 
              tile floors. |
