Officially one week since we said WELCOME HOME to the happy owners of MCM Hacienda on the most perfect autumn day 🍂
This one has the most heartwarming story. The original house was our client’s childhood home. On possession day [the whole fam was there] her dad was telling me how the home was always known as the “Father Knows Best house”; with a pool in the backyard and backing the highly coveted Brevoort Park their home was the hub of after school hangs and many fabulous parties with colleagues and friends.
Fast forward to the day we met the clients here for the initial walk through. My first thought “it’s the 7th Heaven house!!” It was time for the next generation to make this house their home. But one challenge: they loved midcentury design.
Could we possibly convert this classical colonial to an MCM beauty? Swipe on through to see if we were successful 👀 Oh also they loved Mexico hence the project name, and the inspiration for the glorious ensuite shower with it’s panoramic clerestory windows.
We celebrated with charcuterie skewers, Autumn Aperol spritzes, James Taylor on the Bluetooth and many great stories about getting busted in the basement by the principal.
I’ve never received so many DM’s from complete strangers saying “I know them” “I spent so much time at that house” “oh I know that living room” - the excitement levels were HIGH leading up to possession day and I just know there’s already been so many house tours in the last 7 days.
Major remodels such as this are a journey, it takes a lot of work to get the layers peeled back and frame in the new bones. It was a long wait to get to “the pretty phase” but let me tell you. It was WORTH IT. The material palette in this home has everyone ready to break up with beige for good.
I could go on forever, but we’ll save the rest for future posts. Lastly, huge shoutout to Elaine Elaine Mark for getting these photos back in record time 😅. They turned out so, so good.
Here’s to many more great parties to be held within these walls. Honoured and grateful to be a part of the continuing story. 🍸
