Handsome and feminine, the dining room’s design scheme mixes light and
dark, solid and translucent. An Art Deco style sideboard adds storage space for
China, while complementing the dining room table’s dark wood. Overhead, an
elegant crystal chandelier adds sparkle. Next to the dining room is the kitchen.
The glass table is accentuated with spring green chairs. The table’s base
continues the dark-wood design and the square-tile floors add to the geometric
pattern.
The family room’s new hardwood floor was stained to match the existing
hardwood. Using the same flooring type throughout creates a connection
among rooms. Da Costa designed a new entertainment unit and ottoman.
Custom-built pieces are investments that deliver quality and longevity. Though
the couple had saved and given Da Costa a good budget to work with, some
design choices were favoured over others. A new wool rug from India, a chair,
side tables, lamps, and wall coverings were added. The couple’s existing two
brown leather sofas were incorporated in the room’s design. 
The powder room is now elegant with textured-patterned wallpaper, a steelpedestal sink, with a glass bowl. It has space and personality. “It has become a
conversation piece for guests,” says Cindy.
Family and friends find the Sergot home a welcoming place. “My husband
had about ten of his executive team members here after the renovation,” Cindy
says. “They commented about how bright and beautiful it looked.” 
“We LOVE IT! It was worth the investment to feel like our home is
‘finished’.”
