JAMIE BANFIELD TRANSFORMS THIS HOME TO GIVE A GROWING FAMILY SPACE TO GET TOGETHER .
With two grown sons and the potential of grandchildren in the future , the desire to create a welcoming , relaxing home with plenty of room for family gatherings led to a complete renovation of this dated bungalow . Planning was key to making this possible . Expanding the existing kitchen and relocating the dining room allowed for larger dedicated areas for living , dining and cooking where the whole family can connect and spend time together .
The warm , and relaxed environment the homeowner envisioned led to the direction for all the materials such as a large durable farmhouse sink , glazed backsplash tile , custom metal hood fan , the mix of wood and painted cabinetry with durable quartz countertops . To add warmth to the space , designer Jamie Banfield used warm tones in the paint , flooring cabinetry and polished nickel plumbing finishes with a touch of black and brass .
Imperfect details like open shelving with mismatched glasses and wood details on the ceiling give the space a curated , old world charm . A large island was a must to anchor the open concept and provide perfect gatherings for friends and family . At just under nine feet long and four feet deep , this allows for maximum seating and counter space . - Jamie Banfield , www . jamiebanfield . ca
