Room Reveal

Front Yard + Hallway Reveal | Diamond in Richmond

From the first time we spotted this house’s listing, it stood out. Built by a local builder in 1910’s, it was full of potential – a flat faced villa with a central hallway, high studs, and the lean-to extensions added over her 100-year life. From the front veranda, you can look out to the Richmond Hills and enjoy all-day sun. This renovation was all about enhancing the heritage of the villa, while still giving it some modern features.

The entrance the villa was an opportunity to add a design statement and make a strong first impression of the house. We painted the exterior “Umber White”, the trims and fretwork “All Black”, the concrete porch and roof “Grey Friars” and the front door a strong pop of “Coral Tree”. We also replaced all of the spouting with Marley Stormcloud® spouting, painted the fences black and did some maintenance on the garden.

We have people in the neighbourhood constantly stopping us to thank us for giving the villa it’s new look, it has made an impression and a nice exterior doesn’t just impact your house but the whole street.
