About This Project

A complete main floor interior design renovation completed in 2019. This renovation required major layout reconfiguration, including changing the location of the basement stairs. We opened up the main floor to improve the function of the kitchen and create a great space for entertaining. Our favourite part of the space has to be the cozy, comfy and curvy (say that 5x fast) banquette. Tour this space.

Client feedback:

“As renovation newbies, my husband and I found it challenging to figure out how to start the process of creating a new kitchen. We interviewed a contractor, but it left us wanting more as much of the design concept would be left up to us. We knew that the kitchen layout needed a major overhaul and that walls needed to be moved, but we both lacked the skills to make it happen. Olivia energetically opened our minds to what would be possible in creating a beautiful, comfortable and livable kitchen for our family.

What followed was a very collaborative process – they supplied three very different layout options and we quickly moved toward a final plan (a kitchen island and a banquette!). Olivia helped us secure one of her ‘go to’ trades people, a wonderfully competent contractor. Site measurements, permit applications and ordering were all done swiftly by the Dart team. Once we decided on a particular aesthetic for the kitchen, they made suggestions for all of the surface materials and fixtures – making our job easy. After the project was completed we were thrilled to have a kitchen that looked like it was straight out of a magazine – beautiful, functional and family friendly.

We’ve recommended Dart Studio to numerous friends. You just can’t beat this team, their personalities and their efficient communication. We hope to use them again in the years to come to renovate other parts of our house!”
