Full Renovation Project- Stage one

For this project the brief was: " Storage solutions, modernize my place but I want to keep my memories." Our answer was of course! Then we came up with cool cabinetry designs and storage solutions which modernize, declutter and impress! We started on the living areas and master suite and ensuite as part of Stage one. Stage two is next.
