When we purchased the family cottage and decided to make it our own, the best choice we made was to hire Chantale Charette of Studio 853 to bring our modern new wants and our cottage legacy together. Without changing the cottage footprint, Chantale was creative with space and captured our calm and outdoorsy aesthetic beautifully by communicating efficiently and listening actively. Chantale got to know us - our family - and how we wish to use the cottage going forward. A shiny new cottage resembling a generic show home, devoid of character and place, wasnt our vibe. Chantale was very sympathetic and took cues from the property to ensure the landscape we love was reflected back inside. Chantale thoughtfully had an oversized window placed behind a beautiful downdraft oven, capturing the rocky view of our little bit of Canadian Shield - a view that is simply a integral part of our property not seen from the inside before. Chantale also ensured the kitchen opened up to lake views from every work surface. The choice of wide plank white oak wood flooring set the tone for the cottage and grounded the use of dark and light paint colours, natural woods, black metal, grey concrete and glass throughout. The layers of incredible texture that resulted are pure warmth. Chantal's thoughtful choices for lighting and tile - mixing rustic and modern - was unexpected but added such style. Leaving choices to Chantale was such a stress reliever. The focus of design, in the new and expanded kitchen with all the latest amenities, and in the innovative bathroom complete with custom shower with window and hidden stacked full sized washer and dryer, proved to be beyond our hopes. There is a place for everything and everything is a reflection of us. It proved to be a wonderful experience working with Chantale throughout the journey from concept to finished cottage. The comfort we now experience at our cottage is incredible, this custom renovation was well worth it. Chantale you have changed our lives for the better - thank you !
