From Tired to Trendy: The Stunning Transformation of This Junction Triangle Condo (115-816 Lansdowne Ave.)

They say a little love goes a long way, and this 646 sq ft 1+Den condo at 816 Lansdowne proves it. What started as a space in need of a refresh has been completely reimagined with carefully chosen upgrades that make all the difference. Whether you're thinking about selling or just love a good makeover, take a look at this before-and-after journey!

The Challenge: A Condo in Need of a Refresh

While the unit had great bones—spacious rooms, a functional layout, and a sought-after ground-level walkout—its finishes were feeling a little… well, tired. The kitchen lacked personality, the floors needed some TLC, and the lighting wasn’t doing the space any favours. It was time to breathe new life into this condo with some strategic updates.

The Transformation: A Modern, Stylish Space

From start to finish, I handled every detail to make this transformation seamless. That meant sourcing materials, gathering quotes, meeting with trades, and managing the entire repair process on behalf of my client. The goal? To get maximum impact with minimal hassle for the seller.

With a budget-conscious approach and a focus on impact, we tackled key areas to maximize the condo’s potential:

✅ Lighting Upgrade: Swapped out all the light fixtures for modern, statement-making pieces
✅ Flooring Repairs: Repaired laminate, replaced baseboards, and upgraded transitions to create a seamless flow
✅ Fresh Paint: A full-unit repaint with curated feature colours in the kitchen, den, and bedroom to add depth and personality
✅ Cabinet Makeover: Professionally refinished cabinets in bright, modern tones for a fresh and inviting look.
✅ Hardware Refresh: Updated cabinet hardware for an extra touch of style.
✅ Full Staging: Designed and styled with trendy furniture and decor to highlight the condo’s best features.
✅ Bonus Perk: As part of this project, I provided a $1,000 upgrade credit to help make these transformations possible—because sometimes, a little extra goes a long way! ✨
