Before & After: This Home Hadn’t Been Renovated Since The 1940s!

See how designer Olivia Botrie of Dart Studio reimagined a dated Etobicoke home near the beach with clever storage, a functional layout and family-friendly updates. The open-concept kitchen and dining area get plenty of natural light from two sets of doors that increase the connection to the backyard. The kitchen cabinets, painted in Benjamin Moore’s Wrought Iron, look extra handsome with dark appliances and fluted glass cabinet doors that complement the Island’s reeded wood. A built-in banquette saves spaces and adds French flair.

Once again, Olivia Botrie delivers an elegant yet eminently functional design. I would jump at the chance to work with her someday! She’s always so bubbly and passionate about her designs, it’s inspiring to hear how she arrived at each choice she made.

I don't think the fireplace was ugly, it just didn't fit the current design. It looked very much art deco. It's natural with time tastes change. Same with designs today, they will look outdated in 20 years.

@CK_1144 Жыл бұрын

Agree. I thought the old fireplace was charming, as well as the red oak woodwork everywhere. The reno is nice but I can't help but think it's a shame/mistake to not keep some of the beauty of the original detail. Plus, I'm so over white walls. I've lived in white wall apartments and they make me feel crazypants.

@@colleen6050 I think using two sliding doors means that when barbecuing outdoors the cook can go out to the deck/patio without having to go around the pennisula. But if they had made the pennisula an island with cabinets on the slider wall and a big kitchen window they would have access to the other slider. I pulled this KZfaq to watch because I have a layout with a pennisula but have to go around the pennisula to get outside to the sliders.

I see that you were going for symmetry in the kitchen but the sink is too far from the other side. 4.5 feet would be better and making a 2.5 foot space from the wall will make everything possible and improve circulation. Impeccable design and balance of color or shades of black and white throughout. Thank for sharing your kitchen with the viewers.

Because obviously children and families were different in the 1950s. Now the house has been opened up for the 1 party a year that the new owners might have, unless its in December. Yet, it is their house. They can spend all the money they want to update their home. Even if it costs more that most people will earn in their lifetime. Thanks for keeping it real and honest!

The historic character of the house was destroyed. Hope she does newer homes (1980s or later) which she does well. In other vids she did a very good job with a new build condo! Unknown - maybe new owners wanted complete change! If so, they should have bought something else! Some of her comments seemed like she wanted all the new things too. They never showed the outside of the house. Since it's from the 40s, you will think u went thru a portal when u step in, that put u in a different house! It is weird! I saw a house built in the 1920s for sale and they completely changed the inside to look like 2010. It was weird!!!!! The original fireplace was wonderful, it does have an art deco feel @karen deruyter. It could easily have been used with changes and aspects of the kitchen, as well. PS For the 2020s: grey is out and color is in! The house is already dated!

I thought it was ironic they wanted to work with the architecture and era of the house but ripped out every bit of original features including that charming kitchen. Nothing against transformations but it’s a shame to lose some of those features that made the house special and not high end generic which is what it looks like now.
