Main Floor Renovation
Before & After
Background
When we first met these clients they had just renovated their kitchen, bathroom and flooring but were not happy with the outcome or the unreliable contractor. They came to Jostar Interiors to help fix their recent renovation and update their living room. Because the previous renovation was not done properly there were many items to be addressed.
Issues to be addressed:
-
Renovated Kitchen – Cabinet doors could not be opened as they were too close to the window and casing. The dishwasher was too close to the corner and were not able to stand at the sink and open it. The fridge had been relocated across the space and was not convenient to access. The pantry door was made so narrow that you were not able to step in to access items.
-
Renovated Bathroom – Despite the recent reno some of the floor tiles were cracked. The cabinet was too large for the size of the bathroom and there was no counter or storage space. The new light fixture hardly gave off any light.
-
Flooring – The newly installed laminate flooring had gaps in the joins and no transition strips were used . There was even areas with bare sub-floor showing.
-
Remainder of the Main Floor – Passage doors throughout the home were damaged. Casings, baseboards, and lighting were outdated and needed to be updated. Small house had a dated layout with small rooms.

Looking to maximize your main floor’s potential?
This complete home renovation showcases the perfect blend of open-concept living and practical design solutions. By removing a support wall and installing an engineered beam in the attic, we dramatically opened up the space while adding an island kitchen, energy-efficient windows, and improved lighting throughout.
The reno continued with a custom office featuring built-in bookshelves, coordinated flooring throughout, and thoughtful details like strategic pot lighting and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. To complete this stunning renovation, our design team furnished the entire home with custom window treatments, area rugs, furniture, and carefully chosen accessories.

Making Better Use of a Space
An en-suite bathroom that had functioned for our clients for many years was in need of an upgrade. Not only was it dated but no longer functioned for our clients at this stage in their lives. Wanting to be able to age in place we reconfigured the en-suite within the existing footprint to meet their current and future needs
