A busy working couple, Chris & Lianne had hectic life with no time to renovate. But their family was expanding and they needed a spanky new kitchen before the 2nd stork landed.

While a large space, the cramped cooking area, tiny island, bulky credenza and oh so orange cabinets were un-functional and outdated. ‘It’s not easy to cook in and too old Aunt Theresa for us’.

The kitchen was where they gathered. A place to make meals, work, watch tv, play with their 2yr old & socialize with family & friends. But with the Montreal lockdown, Christmas and Lianne’s due-date looming, this sociable-party-centric remodel would need smart life-style designs, fast decisions & smokin’ project schedule.
