What is it: Bungalow near Main Street.
Major selling feature: The neighbourhood, open floor plan and basement for the kiddos.
First thing I changed: I painted the entire house Cloud White.
Feature I brag about: Definitely the amazing deal I got on my Saarinen dining table on eBay.
That one conversation piece: My brass chandelier from The Cross – I’m in love with it.
The decor: I like a little bit of everything! And I really like white! It’s a contemporary space with a few mid-century pieces and new and vintage accessories mixed in. And I always like a little bit of bling to my place as well.
The story behind the art/antiques/collectibles: We have inherited a mirrored cabinet from my mom that I love. I also love visiting thrift shops with my daughters and some of the old books, boxes and lamps I have found have been some of my best pieces. I also have my eye out for vintage milk glass in travels. My mother-in-law is an artist and has given us some great pieces for our home.
Downsides: It’s hard to have privacy with a two-and-a-half-year-old and six-year-old in a bungalow.
Neighbourhood haunts: Hands down favourite place is Le Marche St. George Coffee Shop – I am pretty much there every day. The kids love Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company. My husband and I enjoy a good beer at Portland Craft.
Compared to your last place: We lived in White Rock for three years so we are all so happy to be back near Main Street and walking distance to everything!
Favourite house activity: We have a large back yard for the first time. On a sunny day hanging out on our deck while the girls play in the backyard is fantastic.
