Modern Farmhouse Living
Building Beauty in Everyday Living
After falling in love with the area one summer, Roxanne and Craig West purchased 10 acres tucked near Georgian Bay. Surrounded by forests, sandy beaches, and cozy cafés, the property reflects their passion for nature, family living, and thoughtful design.
With five home renovations behind them, the couple set out to build something special—modern yet rooted in the landscape. The result: a striking farmhouse with black-framed windows, elegant arched details, and a welcoming front porch. Tucked among tall pines and complete with a chicken coop, it’s their peaceful, hands-on escape.
Designing a Home with Meaning
Old World Charm Meets Modern Living
Roxanne West’s vision for her home was rooted in Old World Charm—a blend of timeless elegance, classic palettes, and custom details that reflect both vintage inspiration and modern functionality.
The kitchen serves as the heart of the home and is a true showstopper. Anchored by a stunning arched window overlooking a vista of pine trees, the space is centered around Montauk Quartz countertops by HanStone. Roxanne and Craig fell in love with the look of natural stone without the upkeep, and selected HanStone for its durability, beauty, and Canadian craftsmanship. The quartz’s soft grey base and elegant veining pair seamlessly with the kitchen’s classic design elements.
HanStone Quartz throughout the Home
HanStone Quartz is used thoughtfully throughout the entire house—from the laundry room, to the kitchen and pantry, and throughout all the bathrooms, bringing a cohesive blend of beauty, durability, and timeless design to every space.
The Laundry Room is anything but Basic
This space combines function with beauty, featuring rich forest green cabinetry, classic gold hardware, a nostalgic country print wallpaper, and a timeless farmhouse sink. Roxanne chose colour Calacatta Gold for the countertops—delivering the elegance of marble without the maintenance. It’s the perfect durable, stylish surface for a hardworking space.
Luxurious Ensuite Retreat
The ensuite bathroom boasts double vanities, gold fixtures, and a soaking tub, but the true showpiece is the seamless quartz shower also completed in Calacatta Gold—a practical and beautiful choice thanks to HanStone’s stain resistance and durability. The dreamy ensuite bathroom is a tranquil escape—a perfect place to unwind after a busy day, surrounded by calming tones, elegant finishes, and seamless HanStone quartz surfaces.
HanStone Quartz Countertops for a Busy Family Home
This project beautifully showcases the versatility of HanStone quartz—not only as a countertop solution but also for shower walls, tub surrounds, niches, and curbs. It's a testament to how one material can bring elegance and practicality to nearly every corner of a home.
Even the children’s bathroom brings charm and character, with whimsical blue wallpaper adorned with bunnies and countertops in HanStone Tranquillity, perfectly matching the soft, bluish-grey tones of the space.
For Roxanne and her family, the home is more than beautiful—it’s made for living. HanStone’s quartz surfaces not only elevate the aesthetic but also stand up to the real-life messes that come with raising kids and hosting family gatherings. It’s a perfect balance of style and substance, and a reflection of Roxanne’s signature approach to design: elegant, warm, and thoughtfully lived-in.

“"Hanstone quartz has many benefits. It is heat, scratch, and stain resistant, making it a sensible choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops. HanStone Quartz is also non-porous, and its lustrous surface requires no sealing. No other surface can match the combination of all these benefits."”
