Painted brick, subjected beams and a distressed floor supply a captivating rustic backdrop to the mix of vintage-mod as well as thrifted furniture. The soaring ceilings that provide the space its airy, welcoming feel are likewise high sufficient to in shape a 13′ Christmas tree — which the household always gets from a close-by tree farm.
Crisp patterns on fundamental kraft paper put a lively spin on gift-wrapping.
Many of the furnishings in this area — such as this quite butterfly chair — were transplanted from the couple’s previous abodes, including a mod, post-and-beam house in Los Angeles. “After we offered the home in L.A., we didn’t have space for all this stuff in our bit semi in Toronto,” Pheona says. “But I believe homes shouldn’t be as well curated. two people meet, their households collide, as well as the pieces autumn as they may. It just shows us.”
In the dining area, the sturdy, basic table was created as well as developed by contractor Jacob Dupuis to work in the rustic space, as well as Pheona discovered the vintage chairs at a Toronto antique store near her West end home. “I paid $10 or $15 for every one. I believe there’s sufficient new stuff in the world,” she says. Overhead, a gigantic chandelier by designer Paul Campbell doubles as a conversation-starting sculpture as well as adds a touch of glam.
The “main room,” as Pheona phone calls it, is a combination living-dining space that’s available to the cozy, light-filled kitchen area with a large entry trimmed in rough-hewn beams. The old ’70s-style summertime kitchen area was ripped out in favor of a industrious update that fits the home’s history. In one corner, a replica Saarinen tulip table is paired with traditional want chairs.
In the den, soft eco-friendly walls are a soothing choice, as well as a huge, inky sectional as well as ottoman from an L.A. flea market provide the space a relaxing feel. A striped kilim adds graphic punch underfoot, while a molded-plywood chair (another flea market find) is an infusion of ’70s cool. Pheona provided this area a rustic holiday feel with basic touches, like a significant wicker bowl full of large pinecones on the ottoman and a vase full of sprigs of want by the window.Pheona maintained lots of of the original structure’s captivating features, such as this double-door linen wardrobe in an upstairs hallway.
In the primary bedroom, the subjected beams as well as metal cross-bracing feel graphic, while big windows flood the space with light. A black as well as white quilt as well as pillows are strong layers on the bed.
In the second-floor powder room, patterned tiles look like a quite patchwork quilt.
