Our Klondyke project is home to Principal Designer Robyn Manning, who used her own space to experiment with her “Groovy Grandma” aesthetic. The aim was to blend the charm of her century home with modern function and a sense of play.

Throughout the living spaces and bedrooms, Robyn’s love of colour and pattern comes through in layered textiles, lively palettes, and collected details. These rooms set the tone for the home—warm, personal, and joyfully expressive—and informed the bold choices made in both bathrooms.

The powder room also serves as a laundry room. Bold Schumacher wallpaper set the palette, while a custom wall-hung sink opened up the tight footprint. A compact LG washer and dryer created room for vertical storage, and new beadboard adds historic character that ties back to the kitchen.

The main bathroom needed a full update after years without a tub or storage. A modern corner tub now anchors the space, and the vanity was relocated for better flow. Blue-and-white linear checker tile offers a classic yet fresh look, with ⅔-height installation keeping things warm rather than clinical. Chrome column-style fixtures bridge old and new. Personal touches include hand-painted tiles from an art class in Portugal and a piece of Calacatta Viola saved from Robyn’s first restaurant project.
