Every project has a source of inspiration. You can say this basement renovation was inspired by nature. We used a combination of natural stones & woods, along with unique furniture & fixtures to create this look. In the sitting area, we used quartz ledge stone on the fireplace & tv wall. A screen comprised of tree branches was used to divide the sitting area from the hall, which also acted as a unique focal point at the bottom of the stairs. Wood twig end tables & a hammered copper cocktail table complete the look. The bar area received natural stone pebbles on the backsplash & table base. The upper cabinet in the bar has an acrylic door with bamboo imbedded in it & the hanging pendant light, made of shells, resembles lotus flowers. The bathroom was also treated with limestone through out & is topped off with a onyx stone sink. Warm copper & bronze accents are found through out the project, in the barstools, bar sink & bathroom fixtures.
Where does inspiration come from? In this bathroom, we were inspired by the dimensional wall panels. Rather than creating a predictable long vanity in this bathroom, we used the dimensional panels next to a floating vanity to create an bathroom that definitely has some "wow" factor. The organic twig coat rack, the sculptural bench & the bold paint colour, also contribute to the eccentric quality of this bathroom.
We have a new article out in the Renovations Magazine from our latest completed renovation project. The project focused on creating a more efficient use of space between the living room, kitchen & dining room. By removing the the wall that separated the kitchen from the dining room & living room we created one large open space. We flipped the locations of the kitchen & dining room to make the kitchen the central focus. Hardwoods throughout, glass tile accents & unique millwork help create one fluid space.
