separation between the dining space and hallway while still allowing light
to flow between. The screens create the perfect solution and become a
decorative feature in the space at the same time.
One of the focal points of this open concept space is a stunning three-
sided fireplace with a stone surround that can be seen from the entrance,
kitchen, dining and living room. “It really helps to ground the space,” Sarah-
Marie shares. The fireplace provides a visual connection from room to
room and brings a welcoming warmth to all four spaces when in use.
Another place where the homeowners wanted an open concept feel was
the master bedroom and ensuite. To create the right balance between
open concept and privacy, the toilet is set into a small, separate room off
to the side while the rest of the ensuite is open to the master bedroom.
The spaces are defined by a partial wall that acts as the backdrop for
a beautiful, freestanding tub. The ensuite features tile flooring, and the
custom built-in vanity in the same wood tone as the bedroom flooring,
carries the color through and creates a seamless feel.
The homeowners have a very close family and they love to have their
children over for sleepovers so one of the bedrooms was specifically
designed with their small granddaughters in mind. “This final detail was the
perfect finishing touch in creating a home their whole family can enjoy,”
says Sarah-Marie.
