COZY COTTAGE

Extensive renovation of the kitchen, den and laundry room.

A quaint little rustic cottage in the heart of Kelowna. What a gem this was to find as the location is 10 minutes to downtown and shopping. Situated on a quiet dead-end street with a huge double city lot, this little cottage was in need of some love.

The homeowners were looking to downsize but not compromise on style. Keeping the budget in mind, we splurged only in areas that were needed to create that ‘wow’ factor.

This project was called ‘Cozy Cottage’ because as soon as you enter this small home it exudes a cozy feeling throughout. Embracing the rustic quaint feel of the house provided our inspiration for the new design which took on a Hampton’s look and feel. We wanted to update and open up the kitchen area to make it a larger galley kitchen. The existing oak cabinets, flooring and pony wall were replaced with beautiful white painted maple cabinets, quartz countertops and soft gray subway tile backsplash. The custom hood fan shroud is a stand-out feature in this room.

A new master bedroom was created where the old den was. This area of the house was completely gutted and designed with the addition of a 2-piece bathroom and plenty of closet space.

Down the hall, a functional laundry room was created from one of the small guest bedrooms. The hot water tank was moved to the opposite side of the room and a beautiful cabinet was built to house the washer and dryer raising it off the floor. With the addition of a laundry sink, this space is now very functional.

Throughout the cottage, you will see the texture on walls and ceilings that make this home unique. Layering with chunky throws and textured pillows, a tray filled with candles and freshly cut greenery make for a perfect setting to relax in.
