Custom cedar wine cellar with floor-to-ceiling racking in a finished basement

Inspiration

Ideas from rooms we've actually built

No mood boards borrowed from the internet. Every photograph here is a Magnolia project in an Ottawa home, with the thinking behind it.

Kitchen

Islands you can sit at, storage that reaches the ceiling, and lighting planned before the cabinets are ordered. Kitchens we have built in Ottawa homes.

Bathroom

Waterproofing you'll never see, tile layouts planned before a single cut, and the small details — niches, heated floors, lighting — that make a bathroom feel considered.

Basement

The cheapest square footage in any Ottawa house is already under it. Here's what happens when a lower level is finished properly.

Additions

The best additions are the ones you can't identify from the street. Rooflines that carry, brick that matches, floors that align.

Living room

Built-ins that hide the clutter, a media wall that isn't a black rectangle, and ceilings that give the room some air.

Finished den with warm plank flooring, white trim and built-in storage

Home office

A door that closes, a wall that stops sound, daylight that doesn't glare on a screen, and a desk built for the space rather than bought for it.

Design

Palettes, millwork, lighting and tile — the decisions that separate a renovation that photographs well from one that lives well.
