When a couple came to us with completely different design dreams—her love of bright, sparkly spaces and his passion for warm craftsman details—we knew we had something special to work with. They needed a home that honoured both their styles while keeping up with the beautiful chaos of young kids and a large, furry family member.

We approached the design as a conversation between their styles, finding common ground through materials and tone. We chose rich dark floors that happen to perfectly match their dog's coat (brilliant for busy families), paired them with lighter wood accents, and added brass fixtures to bring warmth without the formality of chandeliers. In the kitchen, a gorgeous rift-cut oak wall gives him the wood tones he craves, while bright white cabinetry keeps everything feeling fresh and clean for her.

For delicate materials, we reserved marble for the ensuite where little hands wouldn’t reach, while still ensuring the elegance showed up in everyday spaces. The result is a home that looks magazine-ready but lives comfortably and feels fully theirs.
