Burnaby Mountain Kitchen & Bathroom Renovation

Modernizing a 1970s Home for Contemporary Living

Located on Burnaby Mountain, this complete kitchen and bathroom renovation transformed a dated 1970s home into a bright, functional living space designed for modern family life. The homeowners wanted to preserve the character of their home while creating an interior that felt more open, inviting, and better suited to entertaining.

One of the most significant improvements involved removing a load-bearing wall and relocating a hallway closet to completely reimagine the kitchen layout. These structural changes opened the heart of the home, improving sightlines, increasing natural light, and creating a stronger connection between the kitchen and dining areas. The result is a space that feels significantly larger while supporting the way the homeowners cook, gather, and entertain.

Throughout the renovation, every design decision focused on balancing timeless aesthetics with everyday functionality. Large-format tile flooring creates a seamless transition from the front entry through the main living areas, while heated floors add year-round comfort. Carefully planned lighting helps the home feel warm, bright, and welcoming from morning through evening.

Custom cabinetry by Nickels Custom Cabinets, Caesarstone quartz countertops, and lighting from Robinson Lighting & Bath complete the renovation, creating a timeless interior designed to serve the homeowners for many years to come.
