If you tuned in to HGTV’s Celebrity IOU series this month, you may have noticed some familiar fixtures in some of the episodes. If you’re not familiar with Celeb IOU on HGTV, Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott partner each episode with a celebrity to gift a home renovation to a special person in their lives. Waterstone was excited to be a part of two projects – the renovation of Michael Buble’s grandfather’s home, which was gifted to his grandfather’s caretaker, as well as the renovation of the condo belonging to Jeremy Renner’s mother. The homes turned out beautifully, and we are particularly taken by the kitchens. Here are some of the design details: Michael Bublé Project The renovated home that once belonged to Michael Bublé’s grandfather was gifted to Minette, his grandfather’s longtime caretaker and honorary member of the Bublé family. Before the renovation, the Vancouver home was quite dated, boasting all-white décor and closed off spaces. After less than four weeks, the redesigned home was given a modern update while still honoring the original white-on-white style that was beloved by Bublé’s grandparents. The kitchen now features soft white cabinets, an oak island with a stone waterfall countertop and eye-popping black accents in the cabinet wall and in our Industrial PLP Pulldown Faucet. The matte black finish breaks up the white space, and the result is a contemporary kitchen that now leads seamlessly into the living room, creating the perfect gathering space for Minette’s large family.

The home before the renovation hadn’t been touched since the 1970s, which was evident in its mirrored walls and small, enclosed kitchen. Renner, who has renovated over 25 homes himself, was seeking a transitional design with a modern aesthetic and rustic elements throughout for his mom’s new living space. The updated kitchen now has two-tone white and navy cabinetry, luxe porcelain countertops, a farmhouse style sink and our Satin Brass Hampton Faucet and accessories. We love how the Hampton faucet ties together the brass details throughout the kitchen, a design that mixes both traditional and contemporary styles to create an elegant, old-meets-new space.
