Swipe for before! We wanted to make a sunny spot for morning coffee with views out to the garden, but it also had to work as the rear entrance to the deck, bbq, and garage. We relocated the door and tucked away a mud room out of sight but close at hand for coats and boots, a laundry area, and powder room. The client’s hand-made table was re-used and cut to size for the new coffee nook, the legs got a coat of glossy off-white paint. Also featuring William Morris wallpaper, linen cafe curtains, and cotton/flax blend stripe on the banquette.

Swipe for the before of the same corner! Our garden kitchen in Wolseley needed a lot of work to connect to the owner’s beautiful yard. We designed the new kitchen to enjoy the dappled morning light filtering through the tree canopy. While the windows and garden doors were challenging, it was even more involved to open a load-bearing brick wall to add a breakfast nook to the kitchen. (See our recent post for a view of that cozy nook). The brick wall was almost 18” thick and we added trim to fit with the character of this 100 year old home. We added a coffered ceiling to coordinate with the one in the dining room and balanced all these historic details with modern accents like @studiodavidpompa pendant lights and Risom chairs.

Design rule: Find a sunny window and make a comfortable place to sit or sprawl. (Do we learn our design lessons from cats? Maybe.) We kept this south-facing window and designed a custom bookcase to wrap into it. The walnut wood matches the kitchen island and the banquette is intended to feel like a plush midcentury sofa. Check out our previous post for a zoomed-out view of this corner and a before/process pic! . #designbuild #wolseleywinnipeg #gowpg #shelfie #interiors123 #tourismwinnipeg #winnipegartist #williammorris #kitchengoals #beforeandafterrenovation #winnipegrealtor #custombanquette #velvet #kitchengoals #wpgeats #exploremb #vintagebooks #intothedark #vintageinterior #characterhome

Swipe for the before and process pic of this kitchen nook in our Wolseley project (Note the same stair railing in each shot.) Is it a lot of work to take down a load-bearing brick wall? Definitely. But it totally transforms how the kitchen is used by all members of the family, and guests too. We kept the south window which creates a sunny spot (even in winter) to connect with each other, or find a quiet space alone. We chose to preserve the formal dining room and not make the house open-concept, because this nook provides a more intimate place to have a casual meal or savour a coffee directly adjacent to where the cooking happens. We added mouldings and classic British wallpaper by @williammorriscollection and contrasted those traditional design choices with modern Jens Risom chairs, a midcentury-inspired custom booth in the softest green velvet, and modern art by @amyshackletonart to remind the homeowners of their hometown of Toronto. #designbuild #kitchengoals #shelfie #interiors123 #mywinnipeg #torontoartist #amyshackleton #exploremanitoba #tourismwinnipeg #winnipegrealtor #wpgnow #gowpg #midcenturymodern #beforeandafterinteriors #jungalowstyle #winnipegartist #archdaily #williammorriswallpaper #characterhome #wolseleywinnipeg

Swipe to see the before: this West Broadway kitchen was desperately lacking in counter space and personality. There’s so many details to love here, with the tiger cut-out in the cherry wood doors, the lattice ceiling mouldings, and the way the checkerboard wall tiles are accented by the delicate red stripe wallpaper above them!

The kitchen island is curved, tiled, and glowing. ✨ A modern minimal design can quickly become austere and cold, but it doesn’t have to be. Here, we varied the textures with high-relief tile on the island, burl cork on the floor, and crystallo marble that has so much sparkly translucency you can get lost staring deep into the stone. #designbuild #mywinnipeg #exchangedistrictwinnipeg #exchangedistrict #exploremanitoba #wpgeats #winnipegrenovations #winnipegartist #midcenturymodern #interiors123 #manitobahomes #wpgnow

Scroll to go back in time through the same view. We moved the laundry room upstairs and in its place installed a walk-through wine room that leads from the foyer to the kitchen. We moved plumbing, ductwork, electrical panels, and a big section of wall to install frameless glass to show off our back lit crystallo marble wine storage wall. This wee little room can store almost 200 bottles and includes a built-in fridge for whites and rosés. 🥂 …It was very logistically challenging. Cheers to the uber-talented tradespeople and our design-build dream team @_its_tyler_d @matthewsaloalloneword @kmackwpg We also did a full kitchen/dining/living room renovation for these most lovely of clients, not just the wine room – stay tuned for more pics. #designbuild #beforeandafterrenovation #customwinecellar #customwineroom #winnipegartist #winnipegrealestate #ywg #exploremb #gowpg #winelovers #crystallomarble

Before, during, and after (same view!) at our Wolseley kitchen project. Double garden doors allow for light and views into our client’s lovely backyard garden. The morning light filters through the elm trees and creates dancing shadows as the wind blows. It was lots of structural work but a very dramatic change, transforming the way the homeowners use their yard and kitchen. More photos to come as we plan to do our proper photo shoot.
