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.
