If you grew up in the 1970s as I did, you were influenced or at least entertained by The Brady Bunch and their idyllic family and their fabulously mod home that was designed by dad, Mike Brady, the architect. Their home was completely unlike any I had ever seen. It was airy with double height spaces that melded together without pretension and fussy details.
Now picture that home with recent updates, it needs it, it’s been 40 years! That’s what I imagine when I see how this retro Vancouver home was revived by Sarah Gallop Design. The good bones were retained and even amplified in the new design.
Large grain personality filled wood floors unite the open space for living, dining, and food prep. New finely grained wood cabinets were dipped in rich coffee then wrapped in gleaming white boxes.
That 70’s avocado has been refreshed by glossy green freshly picked lime tiles that stretch from the kitchen counter to the ceiling above. A sleek slim shiny white island sports a live edge wood slab opposite a glass dining table. A healthy serving of mid-century modern chairs along with a white-upholstered bench complete the casually cool feeling. Lighting throughout is either extremely stylish or superbly discreet, but always functional.
The main bedroom suite rests on the lower level. First you’ll find a rich wood cabinet lined office nestled in near the stair. Light spills in to the office via the lounge’s double glass doors, just outside the bedroom. The bath takes you back to another time through the avocado shower tile detail. Oh, and don’t get me started about the wonderfully inviting outdoor entertaining areas…
