Earl Grey

#take2onearlgrey is an East End home that may have been small in size, but had charm in spades—and our clients wanted to make sure that charm was front and centre. From the start, it was clear they had a deep love for the character and history of the house, so our goal was to preserve and celebrate those original details while gently refining the space for modern living. We leaned into a traditional design sensibility, incorporating classic millwork, warm tones, and heritage-inspired fixtures that felt right at home. Original elements—like a beautiful old door was lovingly restored and highlighted, giving the house a sense of continuity and soul. Every decision was made with care and honoured the past without feeling dated. The result? A home that feels warm, timeless, and truly loved.

Hello #take2oneunice! This full gut-renovation in North York was designed with real family life in mind. With small children in the mix, our goal was to create a space that felt open, functional, and calm— without sacrificing style. We provided detailed floor plan drawings to reimagine the home’s flow, and partnered with a trusted contractor to bring the vision to life. Clean lines, warm woods, and soft, durable finishes came together to create a contemporary space that’s as beautiful as it is family-friendly. Thoughtfully placed arches were introduced throughout to soften transitions between rooms and add a subtle, sculptural design element that ties the whole home together
