Before & After: This Home Hadn’t Been Renovated Since The 1940s!

- See how designer Olivia Botrie of Dart Studio reimagined a dated Etobicoke home near the beach with clever storage, a functional layout and family-friendly updates. The open-concept kitchen and dining area get plenty of natural light from two sets of doors that increase the connection to the backyard. The kitchen cabinets, painted in Benjamin Moore’s Wrought Iron, look extra handsome with dark appliances and fluted glass cabinet doors that complement the Island’s reeded wood. A built-in banquette saves spaces and adds French flair.

Once again, Olivia Botrie delivers an elegant yet eminently functional design. I would jump at the chance to work with her someday! She’s always so bubbly and passionate about her designs, it’s inspiring to hear how she arrived at each choice she made.
I agree with you wholeheartedly!
I agree. But what if I don't want a banquette? 😉
Also, she talks too fast and I miss a lot of what she says.
“It’s what fits your house in your location, and that’s what make it honest”- I love that, too many interior design today don’t take in account to the historical context of the area!
Olivia’s talent is as wonderful as her personality. Love this “homey” home❣️
Thanks so much!
I don't think the fireplace was ugly, it just didn't fit the current design. It looked very much art deco. It's natural with time tastes change. Same with designs today, they will look outdated in 20 years.
Looks like they hated the era their house was built.
Agree. I thought the old fireplace was charming, as well as the red oak woodwork everywhere. The reno is nice but I can't help but think it's a shame/mistake to not keep some of the beauty of the original detail. Plus, I'm so over white walls. I've lived in white wall apartments and they make me feel crazypants.
Once again Olivia did not disappoint!
I love this home, I could move right in and be so comfortable!
Great job Olivia!
Thanks so much!
Omg she was hilarious!!! The house turned out very functional and gorgeous! What a fun designer!
Love her personality and talent! Beautifully done remodel!
Olivia and her fun, friendly, and knowledgeable narration style are the best thing about this video! Love the house too!
Life time fan!!! Maybe 1st time commenting 😂😆😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
Woohoo! Thanks for commenting :)
The way the designer put the pieces together is stunning. Thumbs up!
Lovely home. I don't understand why the owners would want the traffic flow right in the middle of the kitchen. I would have designed the counter to be an island so people could walk around the door, avoiding walking through the kitchen.
Plumbing, more storage…
I hate the look of island’s personally
@@coreyjacq Moving the peninsula three feet from the wall wouldn't have changed much in the plumbing. I understand this is a personal preference. I was simply commenting that traffic through the middle of the kitchen didn't make much sense to me. It is a beautiful kitchen! Cheers!
@@colleen6050 it means it can come through the wall and the plumbing doesn’t have to be set up through the floor
@@colleen6050 I think using two sliding doors means that when barbecuing outdoors the cook can go out to the deck/patio without having to go around the pennisula. But if they had made the pennisula an island with cabinets on the slider wall and a big kitchen window they would have access to the other slider.
I pulled this RUclips to watch because I have a layout with a pennisula but have to go around the pennisula to get outside to the sliders.
The old fireplace was so pretty I'm so sad, I hope this abrasive designer didn't destroy it :(
I love that you are so down to the earth when talking to the materials and the color, your vision is super clear and easy to understand for the general public. Unlike some of the other interior designers who talk in riddles and empty words. Subscribed!
That old fireplace was not ugly at all!! It had a certain charm I would have kept it and just change the wood and the tiling then put in gas to make it modern
They didn't like the era of their house, evidently.
I LOVE the appliances that are the same color of the paint-GENIUS! Wish I had knwn that was possible when I was remodeling!
This designer deserves an Oscar. 😳
I see that you were going for symmetry in the kitchen but the sink is too far from the other side. 4.5 feet would be better and making a 2.5 foot space from the wall will make everything possible and improve circulation. Impeccable design and balance of color or shades of black and white throughout. Thank for sharing your kitchen with the viewers.
I would have switched the pantry and fridge location
Couldn't agree more!
Gorgeous
I liked that 40s look just open up the rooms.
Love when they ask the paint color!!!! Do it every time, por favor
Another stunner from Olivia Botrie! Love her beautiful yet practical decor! Someone ask her to speak slower please! I had to play this twice! Haha!
haha I try to slow down but that's just how I speak, you can always slow down the play back :)
I luv this lady lol
Beautiful project! Well done!
Love how open the kitchen is.
Olivia is such a joy to watch ❤ Absolutely gorgeous space
Beautifully done. Such a lovely home with right mix of color. Love it
There’s a lot of interior designers out there, but none have this designer’s energy and wit. I’d hire her just for that!!
Appreciate it!
0:20 - I hope you sold that lovely kitchen to someone, and you didn't smash it up for landfill. It was gorgeous.
Olivia is an absolute gem! Love this design!
Just lovely.
Love it...addicted
Very beautiful and functional !!!❤💥👌👍
Love Olivia ' s personality!!!
I like the original fireplace...
Can I ask why you used a round dining table? Doesn’t seem like a good shape for the space.
everything i've seen by olivia has been stellar!
Really nice!
Love it!
0:42 - "We changed everything" -- that was my fear when I read the title. Was hoping they'd work with the treasures of RARE original features. They made it like any new build. I do ADORE the flooring, but they destroyed the bones.
🥱🥱🥱
Agree
I love everything about this house and it's giving me ideas about my own home.
She is a very special designer, very clever and with so much sense of harmony! It'a a pity that as a brazilian I find it difficult to understand her words. She speaks so fast!
The cabinets meeting the bulkhead and the crown molding was very eye-catching.
Lol.
It looks like any other modern home.
Hhi, in 2:09 you mention a porcelan.. Which brand or model is it? It lok great..!!! thank you.
I love this Designer!
Thank you for the kind words!
Would uave loved to have seen a restoration of all of the vintage things original to the house.
Need to see more of this house!!
Love it, would love to see upstairs in another episode.
Really beautiful
Really homey transformation, tradtional and modern style. Love it.
Banquette 👸🏻 is back! And what a come back 🥳😍🤩👌🏽
Oh yeah baby!
@@dartstudioinc Ooohh... 😃 Lovely. I can somehow see the source of inspo for your own house 🤩👌🏽 as I can already tell you've got bolder plans for your banquette too 😏😉😉
I want that kitchen!
What brand and color are the appliances?
Lovely remodel. Kitchen is gorgeous!
One of my favourites, thank you, love from Australia xox
Are the stairs are painted in BM wrought iron.
I prefer the original fireplace over the new one. When looking at homes with our daughter, we were turned off by the remodels which did not retain some of the characteristics and charm of the original home. We passed by those immediately.
Beautiful well designed home.👍🥰
Olivia- my favorite, fast-talking H&H designer. She really is one of the best, as this design proves ... and she does talk really fast.
haha I do speak fast, I can't help it! Thanks for your kind words.
Lovely!
Love everything of the kitchen!
OMG!! Switch to decaf!
Absolutely beautiful!
I love this designer; such a fun personality!
Miss Denim’s
❤you a carmel colored dream
Beautifully renovated space with the perfect balance of light and dark !
The historic character of the house was destroyed. Hope she does newer homes (1980s or later) which she does well. In other vids she did a very good job with a new build condo! Unknown - maybe new owners wanted complete change! If so, they should have bought something else! Some of her comments seemed like she wanted all the new things too.
They never showed the outside of the house. Since it's from the 40s, you will think u went thru a portal when u step in, that put u in a different house! It is weird! I saw a house built in the 1920s for sale and they completely changed the inside to look like 2010. It was weird!!!!!
The original fireplace was wonderful, it does have an art deco feel @karen deruyter. It could easily have been used with changes and aspects of the kitchen, as well.
PS For the 2020s: grey is out and color is in! The house is already dated!
LMAO she had me at Duct Tape 🤣😂🤣
When I see Olivia Botrie in the start of the video, I know I'm going to love it!
Woohoo! Glad to hear it :)
Always enjoy this designer!
I find the stairs way too heavy I think it would’ve looked lovely with a very simple and iron Railing. The softer grey just would have been nicer and a lot less chunky
I love Olivia!
Gorgeous new design for this home. Love it!
What is the spelling of the color? I only heard iron
What is the kitchen wall paint color?
Let me know … thanks 😂
It's Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore, my fave!
Wheres the couch from?
It's custom from ELE custom
I’ve been looking for a black floor lamp with the domed shade, as shown in the Living Room. Care to share the source or brand please? Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring
Hi How much money I can make by 3d the interior designer?
Even though I don't like black kitchen, you have done a fantastic job. I love your energetic way of telling the whole story ☺️
Who is this person? Hilarious
Excellent design, The only little thing I would have changed I would have put an oval table instead of the little glass round table
This is absolutely beautiful!! Is there any chance at all to get the floor plan and see the size of all the spaces? This looks too close to my house and I’m very inspired
Because obviously children and families were different in the 1950s. Now the house has been opened up for the 1 party a year that the new owners might have, unless its in December. Yet, it is their house. They can spend all the money they want to update their home. Even if it costs more that most people will earn in their lifetime. Thanks for keeping it real and honest!
But, to watch the TV, only two people will be able to actually see it. What's the point of having one if it is useless. Bet the owners swap the mirror and TV.
Beautiful bay window is blocked.
I thought it was ironic they wanted to work with the architecture and era of the house but ripped out every bit of original features including that charming kitchen. Nothing against transformations but it’s a shame to lose some of those features that made the house special and not high end generic which is what it looks like now.
the kitchen was so cute before :(
Ideas
Definitely needed a reno...better but not my taste.
Cant understand what she says....
Needs to slow down a bit
Stopped watching after they took down walls. Why buy an older home if you are going to remove the charm. The original kitchen could have been updated. A lot of people raised families in homes of this size.
I dont like it. The interior lost the old world charm. Also, the cooking smell and grease air will fill the while downstair mai rooms. I am really not a fan of open kitchen.
Very nice change. Love it’s new look. Designer’s attitude was certainly not humble! Yikes, she might have been very difficult to work with …
Her personality makes her fun and engaging to watch. Her job in the video is to articulate how and why she made design choices.
@@jennabotrie2166 I agree!
Olivia seems a bit eccentric. I can’t imagine having to work with her as a contractor or supplier. But this renovation is STUNNING! I’d hire her to do up a space for me ANY day!
Her energy is what makes her videos and working with her a lot of fun.
It’s slightly boring, but it’s definitely functional.
Ribbed 🤣🤣🤣
So stuffed with bulky stuffed up pillows gigantes sofas…o dios mio(: oops
This poor lady is obviously nervous, she is talking so fast she is hard to understand. Nice house.
She’s not nervous this is how she talks. Get with it.
my problem with these type of videos is they spew so much negativity on how the house used to look. imagine if you’re the previous owner and you see this video. yes, it was old and it was dated but maybe tame down the mockery. let’s see how people will react to this house after decades of use…
Extremely difficult to follow her accent in the speed that she talks in. The space looks great though
This designer annoys. Her design is okay and disagree with some of her design appraisals. Hate the new fireplace surround.
The old stone surround was in great shape and more interesting. Think I would have just painted the wood part, or carefully remove and replace with something that was harmonious with the unique stone esthetique.
