Chantilly Lace Home Nursery
Design-Build Home Renovation
Challenges & Objectives
The Chantilly Lace Project was all about creating a serene and welcoming nursery for a growing family. Named for its beautiful white-on-white design, this nursery exudes elegance and simplicity while maintaining a warm and inviting atmosphere. Woodsmith Construction focused on every detail to ensure the space was both functional and timeless, delivering a clean, sophisticated result that the family loved.
This project centred on creating a nursery that balanced simplicity, elegance, and practicality:
- Clean and Cohesive Design: Achieve a white-on-white aesthetic that felt warm and inviting rather than stark or sterile.
- Functional Nursery Features: Incorporate practical elements for parents while keeping the space comfortable and baby-friendly.
- Timeless Appeal: Design a space that could easily adapt as the child grows.
Our objective was to deliver a nursery that felt like a peaceful retreat while meeting the practical needs of a young family.
Design Solutions
To achieve a clean, inviting aesthetic, our team implemented thoughtful design choices:
White-on-White Palette:
- Choose a soft white colour palette, using Chantilly Lace as the base to create a cohesive and serene look.
- Added subtle textural elements, such as a plush area rug and paneling, to bring depth and warmth to the space.
Functional Layout:
- Designed a practical layout with storage solutions that kept the room organized and clutter-free.
- Included a comfortable seating area for parents and a designated space for changing and storage needs.
Timeless Details:
- Installed classic design features, such as custom millwork and elegant lighting, to ensure the space would remain stylish and adaptable over time.
Construction Process
The Chantilly Lace Project was completed efficiently and with precision:
Planning and Design:
- Collaborated with the family to choose materials, finishes, and furnishings that aligned with their vision of a clean and timeless nursery.
- Developed a layout that maximized the room’s functionality and visual appeal.
Execution:
- Painted the room in Chantilly Lace white, ensuring a consistent and flawless finish.
- Installed custom millwork and lighting to enhance the elegance and practicality of the space.
Finishing Touches:
- Added furnishings and accessories that complemented the white-on-white theme while adding subtle warmth and character.

The white-on-white design feels clean and sophisticated without losing its warmth, and the thoughtful layout provides everything the family needs for their new addition. The clients were thrilled with the results, calling it their dream nursery and a true haven for their child.
Our Clients' Experiences Say It All
At Woodsmith Construction, we believe our clients’ experiences highlight our commitment to exceptional customer service. Explore what real homeowners say about partnering with us to achieve their home renovation goals.
The Woodsmith team did a phenomenal job of rebuilding our house to match our dream on-time and within our budget. Chris (the owner) was always accessible, open to ideas and patient with questions. This made all the difference for us. He understands that a job of this scale is something that an owner will likely only do once, and he offered great advice and put all our fears at ease. We constantly knew exactly how we were tracking to our budget (to the dollar) and our job site was clean and orderly at all times (which our neighbours very much appreciated). We were nervous about our year-long adventure in renos (we've all heard horror stories), but Chris helped us spread out decisions over time and provided clear options for any challenges his team encountered, making that year a surprisingly pleasant one. All of the work was top-quality and has garnered unsolicited positive comments from anyone who sees our home (including other contractors working in our neighbourhood). I have no problem recommending Woodsmith; you will be in very good hands.

We worked with Chris Smith and Woodsmith Construction Inc. on the design for a garage addition, and the experience was fantastic. The project included adding attic trusses to create a new walk-in closet and laundry room that seamlessly connected to our existing main bedroom. Chris’s goal was to make the addition feel like it had always been part of the home, and he absolutely nailed it.From the start, Chris took the time to understand what we needed and came up with a design that not only maximized the functionality of the space but also kept the style consistent with the rest of the house. He paid close attention to every detail, from the layout to the finishes, ensuring everything worked perfectly with our main bedroom.The design makes such smart use of the space, and it feels like a natural extension of the home rather than an afterthought. Chris was great to work with—responsive, creative, and incredibly knowledgeable. He even provided advice on how to approach the construction phase, which made us feel confident moving forward.If you’re looking for someone to bring your vision to life with a thoughtful and practical design, we highly recommend Chris Smith and Woodsmith Construction. The design he created for us has truly enhanced our home. Our construction is well under way and we are already seeing the great design come to life!

Woodsmith Construction Inc. recently completed a full-home renovation on our place, including underpinning and adding a third floor. We couldn't be happier with the results and the level of service that we received from Chris and his entire team. Chris is an absolute professional who is extremely knowledgable, dedicated to his craft and was exceptionally responsive at all points in the project to all of our questions and concerns. For us, this timely communication provided a level of comfort and assurance - I cannot imagine doing a project of this scale without it! During the project, the worksite was kept so clean - our neighbours consistently commented on how great and respectful the team was. We were able to complete a huge project with very little tension and to me, that speaks volumes about the manner in which the project was carried out. In terms of the results, we are thrilled. The workmanship, detail and solid construction of our home are all that we hoped for. This workmanship and level of service continued through the final stages of the project, when we were completing the finishing touches. Chris ensured that every small detail was arranged for and completed. Obviously, we highly recommend Woodsmith Construction and are grateful to Chris and his team for the amazing work, professionalism and service they provided.
