Everyone loves a home tour! Especially another lovely home from the Princess Margaret Home Lottery. This grand prize home was designed by Jack Celli of Greenpark Homes. This stunning mirror mosaic tile graces the wall facing the entrance. Talk about first impressions.
Bevelled diamond mirrors set the stage for this elegant bath. The cool greys and cool whites are magical when orchestrated by Michael Habachy of Habachy Designs.
This elegant bathroom designed by Soucie Horner is accomplished in so many ways; the deep-hued vanity with matching panels extending to the ceiling, the timeless style, and the book-matched marble tub surround. Book-matching is more commonly seen in wood veneers, but it is just as striking, if not more when done in stone! Book-matching is seen when successive pieces of stone are arranged side by side in such a way that the pieces “mirror” one another. This example above is not only book-matched but can be considered a double book-match, or a “reverse diamond”.
Wall Panels are a beautiful way to add visual interest to a room, and you would be surprised how simple it is to achieve! The image above is an applied moulding stained to match the wood veneer on the walls, much like a burlap moulding like this one:
This well balanced kitchen by Caroline Decesare is quite thoughtful in its design. The first thing I notice is the strong look of the coffered ceilings, and wonderfully, the pendant light fixtures are spaced on four corners that place them directly over their respective island task areas. The double islands allow the chef to prepare and entertain easily with a prep sink at the outer-most island, which has seating for guests. They can probably join in helping prepare meals without getting underfoot. The larger sink is located in the heart of the kitchen, so dishes are not on the “entertaining island”. Well done.
