Transforming a house into a home involves personalizing every detail to reflect the essence of those who dwell within.
One such tale of transformation comes from Mississauga, Ontario, where Luma yearned for a design that could encapsulate both elegance and practicality around her television and fireplace.
The Dilemma:

Luma was faced with a TV wall that lacked design, with a fireplace unceremoniously hanging from the wall.
The visible cables and impractical heating direction of the existing fireplace disrupted the ambience of her living space.
She longed for a seamless integration that wouldn’t compromise on style or functionality.
Our Approach:
Understanding the client’s past experiences and her emphasis on trust, we pledged transparency and excellence from the outset.
After numerous design iterations, we crafted a custom build-out wall unit finished with painted slats that would be the new home for Luma’s TV and fireplace.
This unit, envisioned to hide cables and house a new front-ventilation fireplace, became the solution she sought.





The Process:
From the first call to the final installation, we ensured our process was as sleek as the designs we proposed. Luma’s decisiveness propelled the project forward quickly, and our efficient installation wrapped up in just four days.
The Transformation:

The once bare wall is now a statement piece, with the TV and electric fireplace elegantly inset within MDF slats painted in the deep tones of Benjamin Moore’s Deep Secret. Poplar wood, stained with Saman One Step Stain, provided the perfect decorative accent.
Picture frame mouldings encircle the wall unit, exuding a classic charm that complements the contemporary design.
A Testimonial to Our Dedication:
Luma’s heartfelt review on Google Reviews speaks volumes of her satisfaction:
“We are extremely pleased with the results. The process itself has exceeded our expectations. The team was responsive, accommodating, knew their stuff, and were perfectionists. They delivered on time with exceptional attention to detail. They prepped the place to minimize dust and mess, leaving us with a clean space in minutes after completion. A big thank you to Johanna and Sandra for their passion and expertise in bringing this project to life!”
