          The owner’s constrained budget did not allow for the kitchen
        
        
          cabinets to be replaced, but new appliances were a priority.
        
        
          Rad Design Inc kept the original cabinets but had them
        
        
          painted. The stained and damaged laminate countertop was
        
        
          replaced by a beautiful off-white Caesarstone countertop.
        
        
          To further modernize the space, the over-mount sink was re-
        
        
          placed by a Canadian made, square profile Gemini sink with
        
        
          a new pull-out, spray faucet by Aquabrass.
        
        
          The tiles in the entrance foyer were cracked due to building
        
        
          settlement over the years and the entire area needed to be
        
        
          leveled, repaired and replaced. Contemporary, large tiles
        
        
          that seamlessly flow through the kitchen and powder room
        
        
          did the job beautifully. Such a difference.
        
        
          The carpet in the living and dining rooms was
        
        
          replaced by high-grade
        
        
          European laminate
        
        
          flooring that looks almost
        
        
          identical to real wood but
        
        
          thankfully comes without
        
        
          the price tag.

            architectural highlight, now stands
          
        
        
          
            out as a sunlit, soaring space.
