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!

Outdoor BBQ Island

After we finished off the setting up the integrated wine fridge and installing the quartz countertop on this outdoor BBQ island,  the owners finally had a chance to enjoy a meal and some nice vino on their new outdoor BBQ island.  (Thanks to PlusOneLandscape for their masonary work on this project)

The integrated built-in breakfast bar on the right side serves as a focal point for enjoying a nice BBQ meal while remaining close enough to watch what is still cooking on the grill, or one can just chill and sit down while sipping your favourite Merlot over some good conversation.

Outdoor BBQ Island Idea

Our advice to you if you are planning an outdoor BBQ island is to spend some time figuring out how you plan to use it and that will help drive the optimal layout and design to meet your needs....Bon appetite!

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.
