The first step was taking down the kitchen wall, which opened up the L-shaped cooking area.Dan Stone & Kathleen Wong
The wall was replaced with a large island surfaced entirely with white stone.Dan Stone & Kathleen Wong

The biggest spend during the project was the lower cabinetry, which featured cut-walnut doors. This meant selecting a real wood veneer and working with a cabinetmaker to match veneer grains across the entire surface of the doors.Dan Stone & Kathleen Wong
Kelly Deck’s entire team rejoiced when their clients agreed to the oval Saarinen dining table and coloured-felt chairs.Dan Stone & Kathleen Wong
Originally, a more sedate colour for the dining chairs was selected. However, halfway through the project, Kelly Deck went to Asia and came back insisting on brilliant turquoise instead.Dan Stone & Kathleen Wong
The chair's rich hue connects powerfully with the Burnham painting, which now hangs over the new wood buffet, and grabs the reflected blues of Vancouver’s skyline.Dan Stone & Kathleen Wong
