BBQ Island Countertop

When planning your countertop for your island BBQ, check out this countertop that Dave suggested and installed.  Quartz was selected instead of granite and other options due to it being more accommodating to the harsher Toronto weather condition.   This installation used 1.5 inch thick quartz to allow for strength to to avoid the risk of cracking.   The lighter colour of quartz was suggested to avoid too much heat and sunlight vs a darker shade.

The BBQ island stonework was completed by our friends at PlusOneLandscape.com

Toronto Custom Shelving Ideas

We have done some creative custom shelving ideas across the greater Toronto area... here are some suggestions that you should consider when planning out your next project.

Custom shelving/storage improvement projects include:

1) corner spaces - leverage custom shelving in corner, consider lazy susans and extendible corner units
2) loft spaces - you may want to leverage pull down hanging storage...great for laundry rooms and closets
3) basements - plan out amble shelving and storage when converting an unfinished basement to a finished one
4) hard to reach spaces - elevated storage is great in garages, mezzanine areas
5) hidden spaces - some of the most unused space are the best ones for custom shelving, such as behind staircases and in closets...these are great to plan for when starting a new custom built home.
