bathroom renovation on Vancouver’s westside

Coordinated Kitchen and Bath, along with builder Dave Parrott, recently completed a stunning bathroom renovation on Vancouver’s westside. This bathroom remodel involved the gutting of an existing south facing bathroom, followed by a complete redesign of the space.



As is clearly evident, the new bathroom is both an elegant synergy of old world charm interwoven with the latest in bathroom design. The centrepiece of the project is a beautiful white Victoria and Albert York bathtub with polished nickel drain set and a Sigma Butler Mill polished silver tub filler.


Both in and out the shower are 12 x 24 polished marble black forest tiles and 5 x 5 Anenome hand pressed wall tiles, which together create a seamless flow from the open shower into the bathroom. The shower stall features a discreet Aco channel drain system, a Sigma Faucets Butler Mill polished silver shower set, and clear glass shower panels. The bathroom cabinet vanity, manufactured by Columbia Cabinets, features painted maple shaker doors, along with a matched recessed cabinet above the Toto Acquia wall hung toilet.


The vanity countertop is Blanc de Rio Panazzo marble, with silver plated Sigma faucets and a Kohler Caxton undermount sink. The bathroom floors are heated throughout by a temperature controlled heating system.

Kitchen Cabinets: Materials

Whether you are remodeling or renovating your entire kitchen, the cabinets will play a primary role in the overall mood, look, and feel of your kitchen. There are many different species of wood to choose from for your kitchen cabinets. At Coordinated Kitchen & Bath our design team believes choosing the right wood, finish, and cabinet style for your kitchen is imperative to creating the space and feel you desire. Below is a rough outline of different woods species popular for kitchen cabinets in Vancouver. Different woods, finishes and styles are available through partners Columbia Cabinets and Hertco Kitchens.

Birch: A dark and strong wood. Birch is known for absorbing stains, this allows it to ‘mimic’ other woods, passing itself off as a more expensive wood. Birch is prone to irregular colouring; this makes it a relatively inexpensive choice for kitchen cabinets.

Cherry: A hard wood that can withstand bumps and knocks. Cherry is a versatile wood that can be used for both traditional and contemporary looks. The reddish wood tends to darken over time thereby changing the tone and feel of your kitchen.

Hickory: Hickory is a pale wood that can be stained. However, its natural complexion is often best highlighted through the use of clear or natural finishes. Hickory is typically used to create a rustic or traditional feel in your kitchen.

Maples: Another commonly used wood, Maple is found in a wide variety of species. Maple is a fine-grain and lightly coloured wood. Maple is often finished with a clear or natural glaze, this helps give the kitchen a ‘lighter’ feel.

Oak: One of the most commonly used woods for kitchen cabinets; Oak tends to be the most economical choice. There are numerous species of Oak, the two most popular being Red Oak and White Oak. Red Oak is strong and durable. It comes in a wide variety of finishes, the two dominant being natural and honey. Red Oak is most often used for traditional kitchen cabinet styles. White Oak tends to be stronger and more durable that Red Oak. White Oak tends to have more subtle grains and a more golden hue.

Pine: A popular choice for creating a rustic feel in your kitchen. There are three different types of Pine - ponderosa, yellow, white. Pine is a pale wood that can be easily stained. It is also one of the softest woods available for use and thereby can dent easily.
