A couple breathe new life into a 1964 bungalow BY ELISABETH KALBFUSS PHOTOGRAPHY: STEPHANI BUCHMAN STYLING: CARLY NEMTEAN
THE BUNGALOW THAT GAETANO COLACCI AND HIS WIFE, Stephanie, bought in Richview looked pretty much as it did when it was built in 1964. “It had pink carpet everywhere, layers of wallpaper in some rooms,” Gaetano says, not to mention those classic ’60s pink tiles and a pink vanity sink in the master bathroom. The recently married couple were looking for a house in which they could start a family, and knew they could turn this one into a home they could love, especially since the location was perfect: on a quiet street near parks, somewhere between his work in Vaughan and hers in Oakville. They weren’t daunted by the prospect of a large renovation: he owns a furniture company that builds custom pieces and planned to do all the millwork himself. •
