Before and After: This Family Home Gets An Indoor/Outdoor Makeover

In this Toronto home, Saara Mortson of Mortson Interior Design Inc. and Deborah Mesher of Drole House Inc. came together to blend interior with architectural design. They updated and expanded the front porch, replacing old stucco with a red brick-like tile facade. Inside, they removed walls, doors and cramped hallways for better flow, while integrating room partitions, including an original pocket door in the living room. A contemporary kitchen with durable materials and a spacious mudroom brings much-needed function to the busy family of five.
