Condo Renovation Design and Decorating

The client wanted to transform her builder's standard 3-storey condo into her very own personalized custom
home.

Besides replacing standard light fixtures, repainting and redecorating.  There were a couple of specific
challenges that we needed to tackle.  
Challenge #1:  

The client strongly disliked the
trim that covered the drywall
seams along the stairwell walls.
 
Solution:  We created a large feature wall by adding wainscoting panels. We also added a new modern light
fixture to bring more light into the space; hung large framed family photos to add drama; and replaced the
carpeting with hardwood to match the rest of the main floor.  This look was carried through up to the 3rd floor
stairwell.
Challenge #2:   

Turn the unassuming 3rd floor master ensuite into
a luxury hotel-style retreat for the client; and
provide additional storage beyond the existing
walk-in closet.
Solution:    Stunning travertine tiles on the floor and shower; emperador dark marble countertop with glass and
stone blend backsplash and shower detail; new cabinet handles; all new plumbing and light fixtures;  new closet
organizer and door to close off closet from ensuite; custom storage cabinet to match vanity.
