Kitchen renovation: Modern, neutral and light
For more than 10 years, Eva Lamb had her eye on a condo building in midtown Toronto. When the emerging artist finally took the plunge and purchased her prized unit three years ago, she was happy to overlook the 1970s layout and decor to gain ravine, park and city skyline views. Major renovations were in order, and the kitchen was at the top of the list.
“I cook and entertain a lot, so I needed it to be very functional,” says Eva. She also wanted every item in the space to be beautiful and, above all else, bright yet neutral.
“I wanted all the renovations to be done before I moved in, and I knew custom cabinetry could take a long time to make,” says Eva. With roughly three months before she took possession, Eva headed straight to AyA Kitchens & Baths and enlisted the help of senior kitchen designer Amy Dillon. Amy drew up a plan based on an inspiration tear sheet Eva had given her of an airy kitchen featuring bleached-wood cabinetry. Since Eva desired a clean, modern look but also wanted to maximize storage, the designer suggested using a condo-sized fridge and dishwasher. A narrow breakfast bar was added to ensure sufficient counter space.
