A large open kitchen with light wood cabinets and marble countertop and backsplash with a long kitchen island and four tall stools.

Long, light wood kitchen (Alair Homes)

February 19, 2026 in Interiors

From the outside, you wouldn’t picture there would be this much space, but this kitchen shows how wide the home can be.

Before this full renovation, the kitchen was much smaller with no room for an island, but now it’s spacious with plenty of space to walk through, a lot more storage, and a skylight above the coffee station.

Builder: Alair Homes / @alairhomes.toronto

White kitchen with marbled backsplash and long kitchen island. A large black vase and loaves of bread sit on the kitchen island.

Kitchen redesign: Peninsula to Island (Belynda Chen Interiors)

January 31, 2026 in Interiors

The original design of this kitchen had dark brown cabinets and a peninsula that cut off the middle of the kitchen.

Interior designer, Belynda (Belynda Chen Interiors) changed the layout by removing the peninsula and installing a long island with storage and countertop seating. She added built-in pantry storage at the other end of the kitchen to maximize the space.

Bathroom: Fun shower tile (Alair Homes)

November 30, 2025 in Interiors

Alair Homes transformed this bathroom by adding a green and white striped tile pattern. The tile extended beyond the shower to give the entire wall some colour and a focal point.

A Gotamago notebook, named "Toronto Lines Notebook" sits on a desk beside a pencil, glasses, and laptop.

Lifestyle products: Stationery and gifts by Gotamago

October 15, 2025 in Lifestyle, Commercial

Gotamago has been making cute, illustrated stationery and ethically and sustainably-made gifts for years and have since branched off into their online shop, Silver Antelope.

From food-themed postcards to flower-themed tea towels, their products are beautifully designed by owner and founder, Lichia.

This kitchenette was designed with a specific person in mind for convenience and safety.

It’s great for people who have reduced mobility, but everyone can make use of it especially at night. No need to walk downstairs to get water or a snack ☺
This bathroom is a special one because it was designed by @creativedesigntherapy to be more accessible. I loved photographing it and I hope to see more inclusive design like this.

There are many ways to create a space that is inclusive so here are a

How I see a space as an interior photographer:
