What We Did
For these homeowners in St. Catharines, the goal was to create a beautiful, cohesive home that offered more than just an updated appearance. They wanted thoughtful storage solutions, improved functionality, and custom cabinetry that would complement their lifestyle throughout every room. Working closely with our clients, the Canaan team helped bring that vision to life through an extensive renovation that extended well beyond the kitchen.
Our involvement included assisting with the finishing of a structural support beam, alongside designing and installing custom cabinetry throughout the home. From the kitchen and bathroom to the bedrooms, hallway, and entryway, every space was carefully considered to maximize storage while maintaining a consistent, inviting aesthetic.
The kitchen became a beautiful focal point of the renovation, featuring a timeless two-tone design that balances bright, elegant finishes with natural warmth. Painted MDF shaker bevel doors in Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace create a clean, classic look throughout the perimeter cabinetry, while custom birch doors and drawers on the island introduce rich wood tones and beautiful contrast. The island provides additional storage, generous counter space, and comfortable seating, making it a natural gathering place for family and friends.
Just off the kitchen, a dedicated beverage and coffee station adds another layer of convenience and character. Complete with glass-front cabinetry, custom wine storage, and additional drawers, this thoughtfully designed area keeps everyday essentials organized while creating an inviting space for morning coffee or evening entertaining. Under-cabinet lighting throughout the kitchen adds warmth and enhances the overall design.
Beyond the kitchen, our team incorporated practical storage solutions into several other areas of the home. Custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in the hallway provides valuable overflow storage, including a dedicated space for laundry essentials. In the bedrooms, built-in cabinetry makes use of available wall space to provide organized storage without compromising the rooms' appearance or functionality.
The entryway received its own transformation with a custom welcome cubby, combining bench seating, coat hooks, open shelving, and concealed storage. Designed with everyday routines in mind, this welcoming feature provides a convenient place to store shoes, jackets, and personal belongings while keeping the entrance organized and clutter-free.
In the bathroom, custom cabinetry carries the same attention to detail through a beautifully coordinated vanity and additional wall-mounted storage. The combination of shaker-style doors, practical drawers, and thoughtfully positioned shelving ensures that even a smaller space can offer exceptional functionality without sacrificing style.
The finished result is a home where every detail serves a purpose. From the warmth of the birch kitchen island to the convenience of custom storage throughout, this renovation demonstrates how personalized cabinetry can elevate not just one room, but an entire home. By bringing together quality craftsmanship, timeless design, and everyday practicality, we've helped create spaces that our clients can enjoy for years to come.
