![]() Taking a cue from the bathroom, Sarah brought through the fresh mint and white colour palette into the new and improved bedroom. Two stripes of walnut, one stripe of cherry and one stripe of ash represent Sarah’s family as a little homage and tribute to all their hard work. Sarah and her family will always have a seat at the table with the addition of racing stripes down the middle. ![]() The artisanal wood table captures the spirit of the house and connects it to the landscape. The kitchen side houses cabinetry, the main fridge and bar fridge with passage on both sides for traffic flow and an opening in the middle for sightline. The wall separates the dining area from the kitchen and supports bench seating. It’s a cool design with a practical use as it also acts as an enclosure for a support post and plumbing stack that were in the middle of the room when the floor was opened up. The vertical wood paneling is another trick to add height to the room. Behind the table is a beautiful custom feature wall. In the middle of the room sits a custom-made dining table with vintage chairs to add character to the space, while being cost effective. Luckily, there was unused marble tile and Sarah dug deep to figure out how to turn a challenge into a big win. The look and feel of the fireplace was important to Sarah, but the stone originally chosen for cladding the fireplace had crumbled. ![]() Sarah chose a three-sided linear fireplace to make the biggest impact for guests. ![]() The custom statement light fixture is simple but bold, and even though it’s made out of a hard metal, it looks soft, floaty and fluid.Īlthough Sarah had a few bumps in the road with the cladding of the fireplace, her perseverance paid off and the new focal point fireplace brings the room together. The textured carpet, furniture, and pillows work with the cool neutrals while warming up the space. The swivel chairs are intentional so guests can turn around and take in the views or check out what’s happening on the television. The low furniture was a conscious choice to trick the eye into thinking the ceilings are higher. The zones Sarah envisioned came to life in an elegant, contemporary and cozy second floor for all to enjoy. Not only do they showcase the ceiling height but they pull together the variety of blue hues in the room. The big doors were a huge value-add to an otherwise small space which means guests don’t have to go far to take in the natural surroundings.Īnother design element that opens up the space and has an important function are the blue bedside pendant lamps hanging from the tall ceiling. The Nimbus Suite also has a forest view and private patio that can be taken in from the massive sliding doors which enhance the space. The blue and white tones work with the theme and the graphic wallpaper resembles ice fragments found on the mountains.Īlthough the layout of the room was tricky to work with, Sarah and the team opted for narrow side tables in order to provide necessary bedside storage for guests without wasting space. Once the fabric was chosen, it guided the design direction for the rest of the room. The starting point for designing the room was the geometric-mountain-inspired pillow fabric. Sarah took inspiration from the blue sky and deemed this room the Nimbus Suite, after a family rendezvous to the glacier. As a design element, the backsplash creates harmony and brings all the tones and colours of the kitchen together. Measurements were critical to get right and although the waterfall feature was slightly too long, they were able to fill it with gab and avoid re-cutting the stone. The focal point of the kitchen is the stone work that Sarah moved mountains for…or at least transported 4,500 km from Toronto to Whistler! With a 14-ft long kitchen island, Sarah needed two pieces of quartz. For time’s sake, Sarah ordered cabinet components to assemble onsite with the option to customize and elevate with fixtures. With the overhaul, the kitchen shifted to the back of the house which provided the space required for the open-concept kitchen. Not only did Sarah completely open up the second floor and improve the sightline from every direction, new windows were installed to let in the natural beauty of Whistler. Sarah turned to nature as inspiration for the kitchen and all she had to do was look outside the huge new windows installed on the second floor.
