Before and After: A Custom Kitchen Remodel in Burlington, Ontario

Today, I’m excited to share the story behind our latest custom kitchen remodel project – Holtby! Our clients came to us after they started working directly with a builder to renovate their home, feeling unsure about the choices made for their kitchen. They liked the layout they had planned and had a vision for the style, but they wanted to make sure everything turned out beautifully, and we were happy to help. Let’s dive into the details and see how we made their dream kitchen a reality, shall we?

Our Clients

Our lovely clients are a young professional couple working in downtown Toronto with two adorable, energetic, young kids. Life is super busy for them, so they needed a kitchen that wasn’t just pretty but also practical and tough enough to handle everyday messes and fun. They wanted a space that felt comfortable and stylish but also fit perfectly with their busy lifestyle and love for entertaining.

The Design: Custom Kitchen Remodel

Our clients knew what they wanted from the start when it came to their custom kitchen renovation: a bright, classic, and practical kitchen. Our job was to bring that vision to life with every detail just right. Here’s how we did it:

We started with custom cabinets to make the most of the space and keep everything organized. The clean lines and timeless design set the stage for the rest of the kitchen. Next up, we chose zellige tiles for the backsplash. These tiles added a unique, handcrafted charm and a touch of texture. Their natural variations and glossy finish made the kitchen feel special.

For the countertops, we chose high-quality quartz. It’s durable and low-maintenance, perfect for a busy family. The light colour brightened up the space and added a sophisticated touch.

To add a bit of luxury, we picked gold hardware for the cabinets and drawers. The gold accents provide a bit of contrast to the light cabinets, giving the kitchen a warm and classic feel. Great lighting and plumbing fixtures are essential, so we selected new functional and stylish fixtures that fit the overall look.

Last but certainly not least, the wood island (with the perfect stain that coordinated the wood floors throughout the home) quickly became the heart of the kitchen, offering extra storage and workspace while adding warmth and character. Oh, and the wood shelves tie it all together beautifully.
