This one feels pretty special. 🤍

I’m incredibly proud to share that both the Pine View Acres Kitchen and our Greenside Project Kitchen have been awarded Silver certification at the international GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN Awards.

This marks my first international recognition as a designer, which makes this one particularly meaningful. To have not one, but two projects recognized on an international stage is something I’m still taking in.

These two kitchens are very different, but both reflect so much of what I believe good design should be — thoughtful, functional, layered with character and designed to feel at home for years to come.

And having Pine View Acres, my own kitchen and such a personal project, among them makes it even more special.

I’m also incredibly proud to share this recognition with Caroline Castrucci and Laurysen Kitchens Ltd., whose craftsmanship and collaboration helped bring both designs to life.

Very grateful. Very proud. And perhaps still a little bit in disbelief. 🤍

It’s been a little quiet around here lately, but certainly not behind the scenes. 🤍

This summer has been a busy one at Sonya Kinkade Design, with renovations underway, new projects taking shape, millwork being designed and all of the details that happen long before a finished room is ready to photograph and share.

At the same time, I’ve been spending a little more time at home at Pine View Acres and trying something completely new — sharing more of our home, property and everyday life on YouTube. Being in front of the camera is definitely a departure for someone who has spent most of her career happily behind the scenes, but I’m really enjoying this new creative outlet.

So while things may have looked a little quiet here, life has been anything but. There are some beautiful design projects taking shape that I’ll be sharing as they come together — and, apparently, you may be seeing a little more of me around here too. 😊
Thank you for continuing to follow along.

The Greenside Project | Part Two

What was once the formal dining room is now one of my favourite spaces in the home.

When we opened the walls between the kitchen, dining room, and hallway, it gave us the opportunity to completely rethink how this family would use the space. Rather than replacing one dining room with another, we designed a hardworking wall of pantry storage, open display shelving, a built-in banquette, and a cozy breakfast nook that feels connected to the kitchen.

Every inch was designed with purpose—from hidden storage to a dedicated beverage centre—while the layered styling, olive cabinetry, and warm wood details continue the English country character throughout the main floor.

The result is a space that works beautifully for everyday family life while still feeling timeless and inviting.

Tomorrow is a little different.

Many of you know me as an interior designer, but over the past eight years my husband and I have been building something very personal—Pine View Acres.

Tomorrow I’m sharing the first episode of a new YouTube series that takes you behind the designs and into the home, the journey, and the life we’re creating here.

If you’ve ever wondered about the story behind this place, I’d love to have you join me.

New episode tomorrow at 9:00 AM. 🤍 Pine View Acres YouTube

One of my favourite corners of this home.

The custom built-ins were designed to frame the stone fireplace while adding warmth, storage, and a quiet place to pause. Every shelf, every finish, and every detail was considered so the room feels as beautiful on an ordinary Tuesday as it does when it’s full of family and friends.

Great design isn’t just about creating a beautiful space—it’s about creating places you’ll actually want to live in.

What would you choose first… the window seat with a book or the fireside chair? 🤍

After ➡️ Before

The goal wasn’t to make this room feel bigger. It was to make it feel brighter, more inviting, and better connected to the rest of the home.

We began by reworking the architecture—removing the stone accents, adding vertical shiplap, and replacing the small horizontal window with a much larger one to flood the space with natural light.

From there, scale became everything. The original dining set felt undersized, so we introduced a larger table, properly scaled seating, and a substantial sideboard to anchor the room. Artwork and sconces along the feature wall bring warmth, balance, and help define the dining space within the open-concept layout.

Every change worked together to create a room that feels welcoming, timeless, and complete.

——————————————————-

If you saw this kitchen when I first shared the completed project, here’s where it all began.

👉👉Swipe to see the before.

The original kitchen felt enclosed and disconnected from the rest of the main floor. By removing the walls between the kitchen, dining room, and hallway, we completely reimagined the layout, creating one open, light-filled space that now serves as the heart of the home.

My clients loved English country interiors and weren’t afraid to embrace colour, so we leaned into rich olive cabinetry, warm oak, timeless detailing, and layers of texture to create a kitchen that feels both elegant and inviting.

This renovation was later featured in House & Home magazine and received a GOHBA Award for Best Kitchen, but the greatest success is how beautifully it works for the family who lives here.

Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing more before-and-afters from the Greenside Project and the stories behind each space.

Good design isn’t about adding more. It’s about knowing what to take away.

One of the biggest changes in this renovation wasn’t something we added—it was everything we chose to simplify.

The original fireplace wall felt visually heavy, with stone, dark cherry millwork and a television all competing for attention. Rather than introducing another statement material, I chose to quiet the architecture.

The fireplace was refinished in a soft Venetian plaster, creating a timeless backdrop that allows texture—not pattern—to become the focal point. Warm white oak shelving and concealed storage bring balance and warmth, while every element works together instead of competing for attention.

The result is a room that feels brighter, calmer and far more spacious, despite the footprint remaining exactly the same.

Design is often less about what you add, and more about what you choose to leave behind.

Billing Project | Part 2

Every kitchen tells a story—but the best ones solve problems beautifully.

This renovation wasn’t about adding more cabinetry. It was about rethinking how the space worked.

By removing the upper cabinets along the range wall, we created a lighter, more architectural kitchen while opening the room to natural light. To replace that storage, we designed a substantial 172-inch island that works harder than almost any kitchen I’ve designed.

Both sides of the island are dedicated to storage because my clients simply didn’t need seating for a crowd. One end provides comfortable seating for everyday living, while the opposite end becomes a dedicated prep station complete with a butcher block work surface and a second full-size sink—perfect for entertaining or preparing meals together.

To brighten the room even further, we removed two existing windows and introduced three new windows that beautifully frame the custom range hood. The hood itself is finished in hand-applied Venetian plaster, creating a soft, sculptural focal point.

Rather than stopping the quartz at countertop height, we carried it up the wall to create a seamless backsplash finished with a slim floating ledge. The clean lines, warm white oak cabinetry, and thoughtful layering of materials allow every element to feel calm, timeless, and purposeful.

Good design isn’t about adding more.
It’s about knowing what to remove—and making every remaining detail work harder.
