we wanted to have double islands in the kitchen … it was exactly
what this house needs to tie the living room and kitchen together.
So that’s where we got the jumping off point.”
The two islands, made of a distinct, creamy Calacatta Monet
marble with fluted sides, inspired colours and features across the
home, without feeling too matched or cookie cutter. The blues,
greens and coppers of the marble informed the kitchen’s fixtures,
and created a subtle palette for the rest of the home. Having already
worked with the homeowners, Stephenson was able to use pieces
from the previous home she designed for the family.
“Our design philosophy is to have pieces that last and are
timeless,” Stephenson says.
The home’s standout room is the primary suite, a light-filled
sanctuary with a view of the golf course the property backs onto.
It was also the room that needed the most work. Walking through
the suite’s double doors, you’ll find a walk-in closet and ensuite
before stepping into the sleeping area, which invites the lush
outdoors in with floor-to-ceiling windows around the room.
“We completely redesigned the window layout, added a third
window, matched the sizes of all the three windows, and then
added a larger window … which has now provided such a lovely
light-drenched space for their sleeping quarters,” Stephenson says.
From a relic of the past to a timeless home, the homeowner and
Stephenson crafted a vision that will serve the family for years. HT
