Maximizing Storage In A Renovated Semi-Detached Toronto Home

This Toronto Victorian semi's renovation was "years in the making" for a young family, according to designer Olivia Botrie of Dart Studio. To get them organized in this 15'-wide home, Olivia carved out a closet in the foyer, and added a bank of cabinets and a corner banquette with drawers to the kitchen. She enhanced the original fireplace with reclaimed brick veneer, and breathed new life into a bathroom with sky blue tiles.

One of the top and main characteristics I love about Olivia, as an interior designer, is that in every single project, I've watched of her, she has this powerfully magic ability of making a house a home even before it actually becomes one, at the same time, without interfering or compromising the spaces for the house / home to embody the owner(s) spirit(s).
It's all so inviting, welcoming and cozy, upfront.
Thank you, it's such a genuine joy to me to witness it all 🙏🏽🧡🤗

Love the dual front closet and landing space coming off of the stairs. Super awesome use of that space!

I love the idea of putting a closet between the front door and the stairs. I've never seen that before and it makes so much sense for narrow entryways.

So gorgeous! You would never know it's only 15' wide, amazing use of space.

I love the bathroom. I love the blue and white.

Well I love kitchen renovation with it’s amazing amount of storage. It looks stunning. And I feel the brick fireplace is so much better than the previous one and provides a homey hearth vibe. Love the bedroom and the bathroom with those gorgeous tiles. Well done Olivia 😊❤

Olivia always does great work. And I am guessing she's also quite fun to work with. Brava!

Love this designer and renovation. Just wish they would share the total cost of this project including all fees and new furniture and decorating. Thanks

I like these videos, but the tours never show enough. Where did the powder room go?

[ACCOMPLISHEDSHEIS]

I like the screen room by the living room. Was hoping they showed the space.

Can you share the source for the brick veneer? It’s a great colour

The kitchen island is taking too much space..I agree with someone previous comment about the fireplace - it looks too flat and muddled, it was better before lol x

[craigmerkey]

The designs are always great! Due to the rate of speech, sometimes I have a difficult time understanding the details.

Surprise! A color palette of white and beige...
