Inspired West Coast Homes
BOHEMIAN BLUE
Vancouver, BC
We created an ideal home for people who love to entertain and cook.
These homeowners are free-spirited empty nesters who wanted a
Bohemian-style, open-plan design with a spacious living room, dining
room, and kitchen, plus expansive storage and counter space. Top-of-
the-line appliances include an eye-catching, professional, 36-inch red
gas range with a write-on hood, plus a wine fridge and dishwasher. In
the dining room, the oval Carrara-top dining table fuses the open plan
and shows off rich blue-black, velvet-textured chairs. We found creative
solutions for a number of construction challenges through innovative
yet budget-saving reconfiguration of the rooms. The house originally had
a wide, dysfunctional layout, but we created a floorplan that made sense
for them, including the luxury primary suite. The ensuite's chandelier
complements striped floor-to-ceiling Striata tiles and baby-blue glass
mosaic tiles that give the bathroom a unique, personalized look. We
also added a concrete-like laminate vanity, a stand-alone shower, heated
tiles, and undermount lighting with six settings to help soothe the
homeowners after a long day. The project came in 10 percent under
the budget and two weeks before our estimated finish date, which is
something we are proud of. We always work to deliver those kinds of
results to homeowners.
