Reclaimed Wood Flooring Toronto

In Toronto, reclaimed hardwood flooring is one of the biggest trends to hit the city.
People are looking for that distinctive look of older aged wood flooring that has an trendy element to it.

Here is a picture of a friend's reclaimed wood flooring project that he did in his guest bedroom.

These reclaimed wood floors have great character and charm with their uneven contours and unique texture and they provide a unique focal point for any room.

Before and After Bathroom Renovation Pics

Before and after renovation pictures really help to serve a variety of purposes.  If you are a client looking to renovate then before and after pictures can provide you with an idea of different styles and colours for your renovation project.   If you are a contractor or designer, before and after renovation pictures can serve as a guide and provide useful visual cues for your client on how their project may turn out.


Here are a couple of our before and after pictures of a recent bathroom renovation project...

Custom Heat Registers

Custom heat registers provide that integrated look and a seamless finish to a renovation project.   Heat registers are necessary but the standard builder ones take away from the completeness of a custom renovation project.



Custom Heat Register

Heat Register Tile
 

For example, we completed a bathroom last month, and you can see in the following picture if we used a standard heat register the bathroom flooring would have seemed nice but not perfect. 


The porcelain tile we used didn't flow into a standard heat register, so we used an existing porcelain tile and then custom cut into a pattern that presented a seamless transition from tiles to heat register.   We were absolutely thrilled with the final outcome and so was our client!

Face Frame Cabinets

This face frame cabinet that we completed in a recent bathroom renovation highlights another option to provide a stronger and more custom appearance that seems more integrated and flows from end to end.



Face Frame Cabinet

Face Frame Bathroom Vanity

Face frame cabinets are comprised of vertical stiles and horizontal rails that really provide a pronounced custom look and feel.   We really enjoyed incorporating face frame cabinetry into this bathroom renovation.  We hope you enjoy these bathroom pictures...

White Painted Ceilings

We can paint your white ceilings whether you have a waffle ceiling or a smooth flat ceiling. 
You can let us know if you prefer a silk, matt, semi-gloss, high gloss type of paint finish to match the rest of your room décor.

Here is a picture of a recent paint job we did in south-east Oakville.



White Ceiling Paint

You can see the sheen of the white paint that reflects the accent lighting in the room and the intricate woodworking thru-out the office.

Cottage Stone Fireplace

This stone fireplace built in a high ceiling cottage is the focal point for your eye in this beautiful cottage.  The layout of the stones is time consuming, but if done properly will result in a nice pattern that matches nicely with the rustic theme of most cottages.

Toronto Storage Wars Idea

One of our Toronto client's storage requirement was to figure out how to make the best use of this landing space beside their downstairs staircase for neatly storing their articles yet still showcasing that it was a custom built design that worked with the room layout

Toronto Storage Idea

You can see the integrated seating area, uppers and lower cabinets for storage of both big and smaller parcels, and the angled shelving that you can see on a 45 degree for easy access to their smaller items, pictures etc...Great storage design idea!
