- Step inside this entire apartment renovation project I just finished! We took this basic and boring Toronto condo and turned it into a dream downtown oasis. From floors to walls to lighting, we changed it all to create a completely custom space for our client. What do you want to know about this renovation?! Let me know in the comments!

It's so refreshing to watch a youtube channel about interior design that's hosted by an actual interior designer with actual clients. There aren't too many of these around.
That reno project is chef's kiss!
That means so much! Thank you 🥰 I wanted to stand out as someone who’s a practicing professional. I know there are many DIY’ers that are designers on here, and there isn’t anything wrong with that / but they don’t have the same impact of how to do it correctly, or to code. I’m glad I don’t go unnoticed 🥰
@@mrphoenixgrey Definitely not unnoticed. Keep on with the great work!
I'm a kitchen and bath designer and I love everything you are using, yes sir! I need to look into the marble wrap, what an amazing idea. Love the videos 🙌🏻🖤
That means so much thank you🥰🙏🏼🥰
Wow this truly beautiful, and very well thoughtfully designed! I would have loved a full scan of the whole apartment both before and after. Maybe you can even more vids on this unit as a great case study! Beautiful beautiful job, even the light fixtures!
In doing miniature Reno breakdowns of each room of this project for instagram and TikTok with more quick in depth on each areas, I’ll see if I can make them on shorts here too 🤍
❤
Everything is perfection 😍. I have the same taste in interior design. Nothing beats the combination of black (or dark brown) wooden panels and marble in the kitchen, so elegant and timeless ( and looks expensive)…and I looove a dark bedroom. The darker the better 😂. Congrats, beautiful work! 🎉
Thank you so much for watching. I love hearing people say the match my style! I know it’s not for everyone, but in my opinion a level of intimacy is unmatched with darker colours 🤫🤍
That is stunning!!!! That kitchen is amazing! I love the outlets underneath! Brilliant.
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Dazzling apartment, but wow, what a dazzling man you are! Love the simple choice of outfits yet looks so good on you.
You are so kind! Thank you 🥰🥰
I absolutely love everything!!! Your attention to detail truly displays what we as designers truly are…. Master problem solvers. This space is such a vibe!!!
In addition, I’m excited to look into the marble wrap option for my clients. Thanks for sharing!!! Please continue to share your work. Love love lovvvvvve!!! ❤❤❤
You are so kind! Thank you so much for watching, and the kind worlds! I always practice what I preach! Pro shield is the company here, tell them Phoenix sent you! You will not be disappointed 🤍🙏🏼
Have you considered doing a video about different window treatments? UPVC vs Wood vs Aluminum? Double glazing vs single? Advantages and disadvantages.
Yes! I have it on my list for a video topic
I love that you answer all the questions in comments 😭😊
I try to make the time to make sure I get back to all those who support me 🥰🥰
Genius! Fabulous! Gorgeous! So so smart! I can't say enough!!!
Yay! Thank you 🙏🏼
LOVE this--love the black kitchen, the black bedroom, the herringbone floors, the extremely well-thought out details. Great job!
That means a lot thank you so much ☺️
Great work. Not entirely my style : a bit too much modern for my taste (I am an Art Deco and Industrial fanboy). But the level of details that you put into this project is definitely a statement of your skills and devotion to your work. Godspeed, Daddy.
That means the world! Thank you! I love a good art deco look personally 🥰 I actually have one coming up soon that includes some of these elements so stay tuned 🥰
Oh my goodness, my DREAM kitchen! I cannot imagine the cost of this renovation. BRAVO!!! 🥰
It was a decent budget, but not over the top! Value engineering played a huge role to get the best look at a price that wasn’t terrifying 🤍
What is the black paint color in the bedroom? So beautiful!
This was absolutely stunning, so proud of you
😘 I had the best team behind me supporting me the whole way 🤍
Black is the definition of elegance in home decor..Appliance garage, pot filler and drawers is a gamechanger..
💯👍👍👍
Thank you so much 🤍 and thanks for watching
You're design style is absolutely gorgeous all around. Could you please tell me the name of the black paint? Thank you!
It was awesome to see more of your finished work. Gorgeous!
That means so much thanks for watching! This is just the beginning, so much more to share with all the renovations and builds im working on
I had black cabinets installed in 2014 and I still love it. I refused to get a white kitchen like everyone else.
👍👍 beautifully done..luxury, I like How you hide everthing in..
That means a lot! Thank you so much 🤍
I was literally watching another vid when your notification came up. I closed that vid immediately! 😅
I am on the 3:53 mark on your video and I'm screaming like a groupie! 😍 THIS. IS. EVERYTHING!!! 😍❤
Ok, ok... let me continue the rest now...
Omg thank you! You are so kind I appreciate the love and support 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Absolutely LOVE this! Beautiful details and finishes!
Thanks for watching love ❤️ so happy you liked it
I wish I could afford a designer like you. 2000% my style, so gorgeous! ❤ Much love from Belgium ❤
That means so much thank you! I operate internationally for my designs, so if you need assistant you can send me an email through my website and we can connect 🤍
I think the very shallow kitchen condiment cabinet is a very clever use of a limitation - the best condiment cabinets have just enough depth to hold bottles and cans all laid out for you to see what you want and take them down without rummaging through endless layers of groceries and yet are covered by doors so they don’t gather dust or look untidy.
I love it. It looks so elegant and the storage solutions are really smart. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! And yes to storage always! The most important thing in any space we live in 🤍
You’re my fav interior designer on YT and you killed it here! Amazing
Such praise! Thank you so so much! I always practice what I preach 🥰
THE kitchen!!! Stunning!
Thank you! I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out
Love it! I was hoping to see all the rooms in the condo. Will there be another video of those spaces?
I will be doing smaller format room breakdowns for each on my other socials for TikTok and instagram
Well done 👍
Outstanding, sophisticated design, you are very talented! 👏👏👏😍
That means so much! Thank you 🤍🤍
The condo is beautiful. The best part is the kitchen. It was innovative and smart. The bedroom looks pretty good. The bathroom matches, but it looks like you kind of ran out of steam when you got to the bathroom. It's not quite as beautiful and fantastic as the kitchen. I'm not sure if that's because bathroom design and cabinets and everything haven't caught up to kitchen design or what, and there just wasn't enough money to add some super wow to it. But overall, the condo is really beautiful.
This was a fantastic design, love your work.
That means the world! Thank you so much. Have many more to share as they complete construction as well 🥰
@@mrphoenixgrey I definitely have to watch them as you release them.
stellar renovation and design
Great work!
Thank you 🤍🤍
Congrats! Love it!
Thanks so much 🤍🤍
Absolutely stunning! 😍😍
I appreciate it! Thank you so so much 🥰🥰
Stunning DD, absolutely stunning,
Thanks for watching love 🤍
Beautiful home! Great Video!
That’s for watching 🤍🤍
Black kitchen...oh my God you nailed not only in functionality but in colors and materials. The coffee station idea was great so far. I will like to see more of your interior design work. Congratulation, best from Miami.
That means so much! Thank you so watching! And have so much more to come
A decent colour theory palette I've seen so far but i wanted to see the sconces switched on in the bedroom to see that lovely green pop off against that black.
Im just realizing I completely forgot to do that 😅🫠🫠 it looks fabulous though
Absolutely beautiful!
🥰🥰🥰
OK, I´m not into black kitchens and marble tops/backsplash at all, but this is a true masterpiece - both estetically and functionally.
I´m also not into this estetics of the apartment in general, but this is so well done that I´m actually impressed. Simply stunning
Stunning
I love black kitchens
Yes! They’re my absolute favourite to design
What a TASTEFUL renovation.
Absolutely 😍 gorgeous
Gorgeous
🥰🥰🥰
It’s absolutely stunning ❤
Thank you so much! Have so many more projects on working on now that I can’t wait to share
I like the outlets under the cabinets. We could do that (if we can ever get to renovating the kitchen. We're entering week three on the bathroom remodel...)
It’s a process! Nothing ever goes on schedule just keep that in mind haha
This is exquisite
I'm obsessed... I can't stop watching this video.... I want!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Phoenix, wow!
Thank you so much love 🤍🤍🤍
This whole space is stunning. A dream come alive. Fabulous.
Thank you so so much! This is just the start! I have so many more that I’m working on right now that I can’t wait to share 🙏🏼
As we can all see, it gave the owner another chance to experience optimized functionality making it feel like a brand new home. 🥰✨
🥰🥰🥰
Looove love loooove a black dark kitchen and bedroom!👌🏼😍
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
I had pitch black kitchen cabinets 15 years ago I took alot of heat over them I loved them.
Woo,woo.exellent.
I love it. I’m tempted to get black cabinets in my kitchen!
You have my approval 🤍🤍
It would be nice to have a cost breakdown. Thank you
Looks amazing! 😍😍😍 I am a fan of blue, but I am getting so much inspiration for future works at home
Yay! That’s why I’m here; thanks for watching 🤍
This is absolutely fabulously done! I remember seeing your first demo on this on your Instagram and been waiting to see what it finally looks like, you killed it!
Awe thank you so so much! It’s taken a bit longer than anticipated to share, but more to come
I also love a black kitchen and what you did to the entire condo..
That means the world! Thank you so so much 🥰🥰
Love it! Seamless flow between elements. Perfect color choice with the black/emerald/rust orange. Finally a designer on TH-cam with similar taste to mine. Most importantly: great use of the space ergonomics. In other words, love the “aesthetics.” 😂
Wow! Love it! We have very similar design ideas. Very clever kitchen details. Great explanations of everything, thank you. I am SO looking forward to having a black bedroom one day! You have great taste, I would hire you in a second! ❤ Please do more videos like this!
That means so much! Thank you! I have so many more coming to share so stay tuned 🤍
In South Africa we are used to pulling out flashlights, aka LOADSHEDDING. 😂
Love your channel.
Absolutely gorgeous!! But: How much did all this cost? Would you do some videos on possibly integrating your brilliant ideas at a cost normal people can afford.
This is amazing 🤩…you must be extremely proud..I’m a black kitchen person myself…I hope to see this amazing project in media…deserves a huge audience ❤️
That means so much! Thank you! And this is just the start of many more in working on at the moment. I’m very proud considering I was told by so many I couldn’t do what I do 🥰🤍 I’ll be releasing smaller episodes on this on my instagram and TikTok this week
@@mrphoenixgrey you have an excellent approach to style but you also find a way to install utility..That is very unique from other designers…I think that you should be The City Kitchen Daddy…you should hit the morning show circuit…along with securing 1 celebrity client.. your presentation on this was flawless but I like when you “break” kinda SNL style..it just makes you so approachable…Aren’t you proud?…I didn’t even flirt with you this time..lol
Also, I was wondering about handprints on the black cabinetry?…Is that an issue?….glad to learn about the marble wrap for protection…expensive?
This is really beautiful! I appreciate that you revealed the important, helpful, utilitarian and secret details; such good info for us who are not designers. But, I don’t appreciate the foul language. Save it for when it’s more appropriate as a cause should be.
Fine job. I love the black kitchen vs the veiny marble. Questions…1: does the black used is proned to fingertips? 2: name of that marble?
Many surfaces are very finger print prone, always check and see the sample so you can test it out. Flat colours are extremely prone to finger prints but I find details and wood grain within the surface will help hide them :) and this marble is a Calacatta Viola! We originally spec’d a Calacatta Monet that got sold from under us, so we wanted the fluidity of the veins to be almost like water either the chunks instead of a lighting bolt look
i do love this makeover!!! i am finding it a touch too masculine,,however i still do appreciate it!!
Absolutely love what you’ve done with this condo!!!❤I’m in love with the dark wall colours and I actually did my bathroom from ceiling to crown moulding to baseboard in a dark tone ( Farrow and Ball Hopper Head) and now I want to paint my entire house dark lol ( jk😂) maybe another room or bathroom will be enough. Please share the colour you chose here I’m curious as it looks like mine 😊thanks so much 😊
"outlets are ugly asfuq" lmao! Love the design in this!
Haha! Had to say it, they’re not cute, thanks for watching 🤍
Gorgeous!!! Can you come to NJ?? I NEED YOU!!! ❤
I work on projects all around the world, not just local! If you want to chat the link in my bio will take you to my website and we can connect 🥰
@@mrphoenixgrey Wow... YES!!!! THANK YOU!! ❤️😘❤️
Very beautiful 😍❤ . This is one of ur best videos / vlog ❤. Love and regards from Pakistan 🇵🇰.
Thank you so much for watching 🤍🤍
Absolutely stunning!
I wonder if plants won't die there with these windows, if they don't let in UV light?
While it protects from the UV rays it shouldn’t marginally effect the plants if you had any there :)
Absolutely stunning! Also where is that black and white vase on the kitchen island from ?
It’s from CB2! 🤍 one of my personal favs that I picked up when I styled it 🥰
Looks amazing! What kind of marble is that? If that was also used on a bathroom countertop but color floor would go with it?
Loooove it! Congrats for your amazing work and taste.
Thank you so much! I have so many more to come, this is just the start 🤍
Beautiful remodel, but having a counter depth fridge would have been better to reduce visual clutter
I agree. We had originally spec’s a panel ready but the client wanted this specific Samsung fridge so we had to make it work
Love the kitchen. How long does the marble protector lasts. Does it hold up to heat and if some on cuts on it.
Love the panels on the refrigerator. Where can we purchase them?
Samsung! 🤍🥰
I don’t get faucets above the stove, don’t you have to carry the heavy pot to the sink eventually
Love those LED lights in the kitchen cabinets ! But I always wonder how hard it would be to replace them if they dont work anymore ... Would it be difficult to fix it?
The pop right out of they need to be replaced! Thankfully LED light life is much much longer than typical so you should be okay. But anything integrated or custom should have this capability, I made sure that when I worked with the millwork team that this is possible when we made this. Some integrations are no removable so just make sure ahead of time :)
❤❤❤
Wow this is really beautiful. At first I thought it was ur apartment 😜😅 and U were doing a tour but nonetheless this is great 😃👍
Next year I’ll be buying and renovating and sharpening that process as well! So stay tuned 🤍🤍
Love this design. A bit of constructive feedback from a video format perspective. Consider using more voice overs when showcasing design features. As much as we love your face, I want to drool over your beautiful *work* more. 😊
Embrace the B-roll! Linger on the finishes a bit more.
I really like the lights inside the cupboards closet spaces. I might have missed it, but how do you get power to those lights? Battery, or did you run electrical?
You run electrical through the back when construction is going on, these LEDs require a low voltage hook up so the cords and attatchments are very minimal
Daddy, the pot filler, why not incorporate a pot emptier too? I will never understand those, maybe to hang tea towel on? And the black sink would be a problem if they have hard water and not a water softener. BUT you used the blacken stainless, props for that. Props also for understating the exhaust fan, most use those as a focal point, which is another thing I do not understand.
Props on the whole thing, it really is beautiful. Good thing you mentioned the wood graining on the cabinet facing, which doesn't show on the camera. And the warm rather than bluish undertone to the black bedroom. The pillars don't bother me at all because they look almost intentional with that style.
Marble is not "a work of art". Maybe, "one of nature's most beautiful materials"? Love that vase on the countertop, it looks like it is all black but the light is hitting it from various angles.
Pretty sure you can "age brass" fast with ammonia, it speeds up the process. Some ammonia in a plastic bag then tightly wrapped around the fixture should do it within a couple of hours, you only need the fumes. VERY NICE JOB. 😍
I'm a home staging student so I'm looking forward to your channel uploads..Stopping by from Atlanta, first time...🫶🖐
Welcome! And thanks for watching, so much more to come 🤍🤍
Can you please list the color name and brand, of the black paint that you used?
Midnight Dream by Benjamin Moore! You won’t regret it 🥰🥰
What is the distance between the island and the second usable part of the countertop?
I loved this. 😍 Though I’m more a white colour fan, you have brought everything together so well.
My only question is why didn’t you paint the cement pillar the same colour as the walls, to blend it in?
Legally you cannot support a cement column like this as concrete requires the ability to breathe. I’m going to do a video breakdown on this as it’s very important, brick is the same
@@mrphoenixgreythank you, something I’d have not thought of.
How well does the blackened stainless steel sink hold up with usage?
The secret is to find a black stainless steel that’s through and through and not just coated! That way if and when you do scratch it, it will remain dark 🤍
Love the fluted walls. Would appreciate if you could tell me where you purchased them from or who did the work. Thank you
I designed them and the millwork team custom make them for the space! But there is a company called Surfacing Solutions that I absolutely love and can do them in wood and paint grade that is gorgeous 🤍 tell them Design Daddy sent you
@@mrphoenixgreythank you so much
Love the make over! What brand and colour floor is it?
Let me confirm with my spec sheet that I don’t have handy on me atm
@@mrphoenixgrey Thanks!
He needed the sound proofing to click his high heels harder but I'm not judging.
Looks like high-end mortuary
Why’s that?
How often must one dust receded vertical surfaces?
Not that often, thankfully there isn’t an HVAC above in the foyer area so there is less air being constantly blown there, I would say around the intake may require dusting every other week or so just to be safe, but not that much more than regularly
Stunning kitchen. But I didn’t like the outlet idea. I think I’d find it a bit annoying to have to crane my neck to see where I’m plugging something in. Especially on that island.
Looks beautiful but I think fingerprints will be a problem on those black cabinets
We tested all the material prior to picking so that it’s as minimal as possible :) the wood grain also helps hide any natural oil transfer
