Large living room with white boucle couches and white side chairs around a black coffee table.

Full home build: Living and dining room (Alair Homes Toronto)

June 10, 2025 in Interiors

I had the opportunity to work with renown builder, Alair Homes Toronto, photographing their latest projects. The team rebuilt this beautiful, modern 3-storey house in Toronto from the ground up.

From the herringbone floor to the big windows and high ceilings, the home was thoughtfully designed and constructed for the homeowners to enjoy in every season. There’s ample space for hosting a small or large gathering, allowing guests to flow from the living and dining rooms to the kitchen and family room.

Two-toned kitchen (Creative Design Therapy)

May 05, 2025 in Interiors

Creative Design Therapy renovated this home from top to bottom and the kitchen was a big part of the project. The kitchen was ready for an update and it got one. Everything was modernized from top to bottom. A wall was removed to connect the dining room to the kitchen and a large waterfall island was added for additional countertop space and seating. New lighting and appliances were installed to finish off the project.

Family room: Built-in shelves

April 30, 2025 in Interiors

Interior designer Studio ALC designed this family room to be a space to gather, chat, watch TV, and just hang out.

The built-in shelves provide storage and act as a display case. A feature of the built-ins is the under cabinet lighting, creating a soft glow.

Two-toned kitchen with white marble backsplash and light wood lower cabinets. A large kitchen island stands in the middle.

Neutral two-toned kitchen (Studio ALC)

April 28, 2025 in Interiors

This kitchen needed a refresh and Studio ALC turned it into a beautiful and functional kitchen for large gatherings. The two-toned stone and wood palette keeps the space bright natural.

With plenty of room to work with, the space was opened up to create a better flow for traffic and additional lower cabinets allowed for more storage. The kitchen also leads seamlessly to a dining area, making it easy to transition from cooking to eating.
