Hickey main floor & bedroom refresh

When I first walked into Kim and Stephen Hickey’s home, I knew right away it didn’t need a renovation to shine—it just needed a little love and personality. That, in many ways, is the story of so many of our clients here at TUCK. Often, a couple has purchased a home 15–20 years ago, at the time beautifully appointed with the “current” paint colours and finishes of that era. And then, as it should, life happens: children are raised, careers are built, priorities shift. By the time the kids are off to university and there’s finally a moment to pause, many couples look around and say, “Hey—we’re ready for a refresh!”

These projects are some of my very favourite to collaborate on, because they don’t require walls being torn down or budgets stretched by major renovations. Instead, they’re about thoughtful, cosmetic updates—paint, wallpaper, lighting, furnishings, and décor—that breathe new life into spaces. For the Hickeys, that meant shifting their home from “dated 2000” to “hello 2020s”—contemporary, warm, and in tune with their style.
