Sneak Peek

We've been working away at our 1960's house on Delmar .... bringing our graceful friend up to the modern standard she deserves. Things are looking wonderful. With the snow melted away we are almost tempted to move in there ourselves! The yard is looking simply glorious. The original owner was quite a gardener and there are trees, trees, trees.  It's huge and private and a bike path runs right behind it.

With each day, this house seems to bring with it a number of pleasant surprises. (quite the opposite of the kinds of surprises we usually encounter with many renovations!)

Here is a sneak peek of the kitchen. All will be revealed shortly, but that's a marble mosaic back splash and some lovely honed granite accenting a contemporary look. The new windows bring in the sunshine (now that we finally have some).

The tile has turned out well, too. As always, our expert tiler, Tony, from TB  Tile did  a bang up job. Here's the master bath (check out the soon to be gone robin's egg blue toilet!) Yep, more marble.

The main/kids bath looks great, too. We kept the same cabinet - it was in good shape and was nice and large. But changed the sink, counter and back splash. I like how it's coming together so far.

My favourite tile of all, however is this brown, grey and black polka dot tile. It's a pattern we've used in our kids bathroom, and also in our own home's basement shower. We can't get this style any more. We had JUST enough to do this cool accent ... (I just find polka dots so happy ...) 

Stay tuned. We'll be posting all photos soon. By next week, we'll be getting ready for an Open House to showcase the whole project. Right now, we are run off our feet with last minute details. This is truly my favourite part, though, given how much shopping it involves.
