Model Home - Village on the Grand

Village on the Grand, built by Kingwood Homes, features 95 luxury, two story town homes, with spectacular views of the Grand River, in the heart of Paris, Ontario. Fully designed, with every detail in  mind, I wanted to capture the essence of the nature that surrounds the home but also balance it out with highlights of contemporary finishes. 

Contemporary Grey Kitchen

Grey custom cabinetry and contemporary design go hand in hand. This beautifully designed kitchen features granite countertops, a custom range hood, a stunning plum range and a subtle white subway backsplash. This medium grey tone gives this kitchen its own unique feel rather then seeing the traditional white painted cabinetry. 

Kitchens...

Kitchens are one of the most loved places in our homes and therefore so much attention and detail go into their designs. Houzz recently surveyed people on everything kitchens and some very interested research came from this.

Cambria Quartz, Galloway

1. Most people absolutely hate laminate and tile countertops and 50 percent of people polled actually choose granite for their favorite tops. Quartz was a close second with 36 percent. My personal opinion is that although granite is beautiful it does have some maintenance and upkeep that comes along with having the natural stone, such as properly sealing your granite every five years and watch out for red wine spills because it will stain! Quartz is my go to top and there are so many stunning patterns and colors now to choose from.





2. 75 percent of pollers said they would like their kitchen to have soft neutral colors throughout. This is no surprise to me as a neutral color palette is a classic look that will stand the test of time. A kitchen renovation is one of the most expensive projects in your home and it is just not feasible to redesign it when a new trend appears!

3. Most people also like the idea of having an open concept kitchen with a large island for guest to congregate.

There are so many great design & storage ideas when you are starting your kitchen renovation. It is always a good idea to consult a designer to focus your design because it can be an overwhelming process and trying to incorporate too many ideas may create a chaotic end product.
