FAMILY FRIENDLY HOME IN TORONTO WITH PERSONAL STYLE

A comfortable accessible family home in Toronto.  This home was featured on Vogue's website...apparently the home where Vogue.com contributor and blogger Sophie Young grew up. A very warm home a mix of old and new.  The home sits in a residential neighborhood in the center of Toronto.  It was an abandoned property before Sophie's parents took it over and made it their own.

A safe, stylish, fresh, personal, unpretentious space to raise a family. The decorating style combines old and new quite seamlessly along with a little whimsy in the form of color and art.  Well done.  Take a look.

Queen Anne chairs were found and upholstered in a red and white floral print in the dining room (above)

Black and white stripe floors and a red kitchen island make bold statements in this family kitchen (above)

This is the master bedroom and it is pink - Sophia's dad let her mom go with a traditionally feminine color in their bedroom (above)

This is the type of home great for raising a family and for entertaining loved ones.  A personal space with warm design appeal.

What do you think of this Canadian home?

Happy Wednesday!

SMALL BOATHOUSE WITH BIG COTTAGE CHARM

Am partial to cottages.  I live in one.  Guess I should be partial.  I am also partial to waterfront homes.  I wish I had one.

I am also partial to champagne, sparkling headbands and jewelry, large mansions, ice cream sandwiches, quinoa, finding ways to be skinny without much effort, Rag & Bone jean leggings,  my sister, the silver pig that sits in my office, the James Perse jacket/sweatshirt/blazer cute thing I wear all of the time, there's more...uhmmm...but I'm sure you would be bored beyond belief...so many things I am partial to but I digress (as usual).

Back to being partial to cottages and waterfront homes.  Imagine my delight when I saw this cute little summer home right on the water somewhere in Canada.  Charming. A cottage from the front...and a waterfront boathouse from the back.

Not sure I would want to live here day in and day out but I would love to spend a weekend in this charmer.  Benignly rustic and definitely cute.

The original stone fireplace is the focal point of this remodeled cottage's living room. (above)

I like the idea of black wicker dining room chairs (above)

Reclaimed wood upper cabinets and island stand out against the white paneled wood walls in the kitchen. (above)

Open living room area...great for family time. (above)

What do you think...would like to live in this little cottage?  Anything you like?  Anything you would change?

Happy Wednesday!
