A Kitchen Makes the Home

A Kitchen Makes the Home

After 12 years, the family of this comfortable West coast contemporary home in Gordon Head decided to renovate their kitchen and bathrooms. The large 4500 sq ft house had an extremely generous eat-in kitchen with a walk out deck, but unfortunately, it was particularly awkward and ugly. Stripping the entire old kitchen to build it in a new design would transform the room into a place that was a pleasure to be in -- full of light, space, and gorgeous garden views.

Plumbing for a basement sink
We are planning to renovate our basement bathroom. The existing plumbing pipe for the sink comes up from the floor and it seems that a full vanity is required just to hide this black pipe. The contractor has advised that there is nothing that can be done to change that, and that a pedestal sink or a vanity that is open at the base are not options. There isn't really enough room for a vanity - one of the cupboard doors on the previous vanity wouldn't open fully because the toilet is too close. We presume that the plumbing could be changed, but is the contractor really saying that it would be very costly to do so? Read the answer »
