The New Beginnings Project
  About The Project
The New Beginnings Project celebrates a fresh start for a young couple ready to begin a new chapter. The goal was to create a home that feels elevated yet inviting, blending modern traditional design with youthful energy and timeless sophistication. Every detail was carefully chosen to make the space feel storied, layered with meaning, personality, and warmth.
Lead Designer: Cindy Dailey-Morin
A Grand First Impression
The dining room sets the tone for the entire home. The pinnacle award-winning dining table from Fairfield Chair commands attention, while an impactful chandelier and elegant mirrors create a stunning reflection that enhances the room’s sense of grandeur. The colour palette was designed to make a statement. Deep, dramatic walls create an elegant backdrop for soft neutral upholstery and artwork that mirrors the hues of the dining chairs. The result is a balance of glamour and comfort, perfect for entertaining in style.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Elegant Comfort in the Living Space
In the main living area, tone-on-tone textures bring a calm, cohesive feel. Warm taupes and soft neutrals are layered against rich dark wood tones, creating a space that feels both comfortable and refined. The sideboard reflects the deep brown cabinetry nearby from the kitchen and the entertainment space, tying the spaces together beautifully. A soft area rug anchors the room, adding texture and warmth, while stacked artwork draws the eye upward to emphasize the home’s impressive vaulted ceilings.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Lighting that Defines the Mood
Lighting was a key design feature throughout the home. Each piece was chosen for both its sculptural beauty and the way it shapes the atmosphere.
The Chandelier in the entryway casts a dramatic reflection across the ceiling, creating a warm and inviting first impression. In the office, a Leather Pendant adds modern and masculine notes. Its layered leather rings bring texture and visual interest, blending natural influence with contemporary design.
These lighting choices add character and connection across each space.
  
  Modern Touches in the Kitchen
In the kitchen, Art Deco–inspired barstools offer a stylish yet practical finish. The low-profile design and antique brass details complement the home’s hardware and lighting, adding a touch of polish to one of the most-used spaces in the home. The result is a harmonious, thoughtfully designed kitchen that feels both modern and inviting.
A Home That Tells a Story
This project captures what we love most about interior design: creating spaces that tell a story. For this young couple, the story was about a refined environment that still feels fresh, modern, and livable.
Each decision, from the furniture and materials to the lighting and layout, was made to balance timeless design with a contemporary sensibility. The result is a home that feels comfortable, elegant, and uniquely theirs.
