Kitchen renovations can be a long time coming — even for the pros. Just ask designer and Edinburgh expat Gillian Gillies, who admits the kitchen was the last room she renovated in her Toronto home. “My husband, Dean, is one of six kids, and true confession, I think I was holding off doing the kitchen to avoid hosting massive family dinners,” she says with a laugh. Now that the renovation — during which the kitchen nearly doubled in size to 215 square feet — is complete, the space is ready to host as many family members and friends as Gillian can handle.
