Passed down through generations, this classic farmhouse was due for a facelift. And for a busy farming family of five this renovation was more than just an upgrade; it was about bringing function in the form of simplicity and style.
The house was sectioned off room by room, the kitchen was awkward, the main bathroom was impractical and there was a serious lack of storage throughout the home. By opening up walls , simplifying the kitchen layout, lightening up the walls and finishes, we were able to achieve flow, function and somewhat of a calmness even amongst the hustle and bustle of the day to day family to do’s.
The storage space turned entry way was thoughtfully designed, opening up the space, creating an entry off the front of the house with a beautifully stained fibreglass door and most importantly adding ample storage and seating that can handle the busiest of days. Tying into the history of the home a custom hallway bench, hand crafted from salvaged barnwood from the family farm, adding another element of character.
The kitchen is truly where all the magic happens. Designed to be multi-functional, with a smaller footprint it was important to make the most out of the space. The kitchen features beautiful custom cabinetry, quartz counters, farmhouse sink, walk in pantry and a generous 9-foot island to accommodate family dinners, homework and kids’ crafts.

will be forever thankful to the team at Lacey Construction for creating such a calm and beautiful space that meets our family’s needs. We first met with Simon (renovation manager) and Tanya (designer), they both brought knowledge and expertise to the table. Simon truly understands the hiccups and challenges that can come along with an old house renovation. Our house was no exception. He accurately accounted for the curve balls that might come our way and kept us in the loop throughout the process.
Tanya listened to our needs, wants, and dreams. From the very first set of inspiration pictures she sent me, I knew we were in sync with the vision for our space. Tanya was easy to talk to and put exceptional effort into the layout and details of our home. I highly suggest utilizing her services. Although some aspects of the renovation I had clear ideas for, she supported me and guided me through the decisions that I was stuck on. Tanya didn’t miss a detail in accounting for esthetic appeal but also functionality for our busy family. We are forever thankful to her.
It is obvious that management takes pride in creating a positive culture for their employees and hires kind, knowledgeable, passionate, and understanding professionals. All of the Lacey staff were easy to talk to, skilled, punctual, and attentive. They strive to go above and beyond. All of the tradespersons had strong communication skills and took pride in their work. I would like to especially thank Rachel and Blain for their contributions, check-ins, and willingness to answer any questions that would arise.
Even though our renovation was on an old house with some surprises in its bones, Lacey had already planned and accounted for the unexpected. Their knowledge of the potential issues that could arise, and the methods to deal with these situations, meant our renovation ran smoothly and stress-free. The team at Lacey Construction exceeded our expectations and made our house a home.
This renovation has changed our lives. Our home now has tons of storage, more space to move entertain, the new open concept is welcoming, and our kitchen is now a place well all love to be. Thank you so incredibly much, to everyone at Lacey Construction. We truly appreciate all that you have done for our family.
