And, with the pressure of scheduling trades, it is more cost efficient if everyone keeps on schedule. Trade availability, says Andrew, is not what it used to be! But let’s go back to this lovely renovated 2,900-square-foot house that so ably demonstrates a contemporary style of easy-living, clean modern lines and finishes. The main entry originally opened up to a set of stairs, but its exterior wall was moved out and the roof built higher to create a foyer that is filled with light from the new windows (Starline windows) and glass panelled front door (Home Lumber). The light is further enhanced by the large marble tiles on one wall. The opposite wall features white, high-gloss cabinets with a special nook built above to house a model of the famed Canadian sailboat, “The Bluenose.” Walls are painted in Benjamin Moore’s White Wisp, which has a hint of grey. The light colours of the home are enhanced by texture such as the quartz ledgestone accent wall at the top of the stairs, which matches the new gas fireplace façade. The open floor plan on the main upper level ensures that the kitchen is the centre for social activity and allows the cook to be part of everything that is going on. In the kitchen area, the five- by seven-foot quartz-topped island is perfect for entertaining and serving because its clean work surface is not marred by a sink or cooktop. Bar stools nestle under the counter and are almost invisible due to their short, transparent backs. Quartz countertops were chosen throughout the home because of their colour, finish, durability, and low maintenance. DuChâteau solid oak wide plank hardwood floors (Island Floor
