Our latest project reveal - Warm Cape Remodel

Warm Cape embraces the character of a traditional East Coast home while introducing a softer, more collected approach to modern living. Original wide plank pine floors, custom cabinetry, natural wood tones, warm metals, and layered textures create a kitchen that feels both timeless and lived-in. This space balances coastal charm with a relaxed organic warmth designed for everyday life.

Welcome to our Cape Retreat Bathroom project.

Custom tiled flooring, white oak, marble-inspired finishes, soft white cabinetry, and polished metals create a bright and timeless coastal space.

The walk-in glass shower, custom double vanity, and warm wood accents bring together classic materials and clean lines that feel right at home on Nova Scotia's South Shore.

One of the most unique features of this project is the flooring. The tile pattern was custom designed specifically for this space, creating a look you won't find off the shelf. Arthur also handcrafted both the vanity and the linen cabinet, bringing custom millwork and craftsmanship into every detail of the room.

In addition to the bathroom renovation, we updated the laundry/powder room with new flooring, custom laundry storage cabinetry, and a wall-mounted sink that adds both function and character to the space.

Planning a renovation, addition, new build or development project this year?

At Reviving Design & Contracting, we offer professional 2D floorplans, 3D renderings, and customized Design Selection Packages to help homeowners, contractors, and developers visualize the finished space before construction begins.

While we also offer custom building, millwork, and finish carpentry for our own projects, our contracting division is currently booked. However, we continue to offer these professional design and rendering services independently to homeowners, builders, and contractors looking for support with project planning and presentations.

Our rendering services provide realistic visuals of your future project, while our Design Selection Packages organize chosen materials, finishes, fixtures, colours, and specifications into one clear approval document for clients and trades.

These services help:
• Simplify decision-making
• Improve communication during construction
• Reduce confusion and costly changes
• Keep projects cohesive and organized
• Give clients confidence moving into the build phase

Whether you need simple finish selections or detailed specification packages, we can tailor the process to suit your project.

Peeling back the layers of an 1888 farmhouse - a bit of history has revealed itself.

A pair of children's shoes 👞 👞
This ties into centuries-old folk tradition known as CONSEALED SHOES, where they were placed within walls to ward off evil, protect the home and people who live there, or bring good luck. In some cases, it could have been placed as a memorial.

We also uncovered old newspapers 📰🗞
Adhered to the framing like wallpaper. One was advertising 12 cent socks - dating this layer of the home back to the latest 1800s to early 1900s, when everyday goods became more accessible following Canada's shift from pense/pounds to decimal currency.

Pieces of history.... quietly sitting behind the walls all these years.

Small space… big personality ✨

Powder rooms are where you can have a little fun and lean into the unexpected—layering pattern, playing with colour, and choosing pieces that feel a bit more “you” than usual. It’s one of the few spaces where going bold doesn’t feel overwhelming… it just works.

Since it’s a smaller footprint, it’s also the perfect place to splurge on something special—maybe a statement sink, a show-stopping tile, or a wallpaper that steals the show.

So… if you had to choose:
💛 a beautiful handcrafted sink
💚 a patterned floor tile
🩵 or a whimsical wallpaper

Which would you design around?
