HOW MUCH PAINT DO I NEED? Follow this formula to estimate the paint requirements of your project. You’re nearly ﬁnished painting when you look down into the almost empty can and realize – yikes! You won’t have quite enough paint to ﬁnish the job. Estimating the amount of paint you need is as important as choosing your color scheme. Save yourself time and a panic attack by taking the guesswork out of your paint requirements using a calculator similar to the one on this page. It’s as simple as measuring the dimensions of the room being painted to find the surface area.

STEP 4: Add Total Doors plus Total Windows to = Surface Not to Be Painted. STEP 5: Subtract Surface Not to Be Painted from Total Wall Surface = Total Surface To Be Painted.

STEP 1: Measure the Walls Wall 1 Width: ___ ft. X Height: ___ ft. = _____ ft.

This issue is swimming with all the inspiration you need for incorporating a playful vibe or peaceful mood, as well as plenty of tips to get you there. Much of our influence for the spirited doses of color come from springtime in Paris, where cherry blossoms bloom on corners and people gather at cafes on cobblestone streets (PG. 62). At this time of year, the city comes alive with flea markets (PG. 24), and people enjoy picnics on the grass in front of the Eiffel Tower (PG. 58).

SWATCH SELECTION 101 THE EXPERT GUIDE THROUGH THE NOISE TO YOUR DREAM COLOR Do you find yourself so picky when it comes to selecting your paint colors that you put off the project altogether? Or are you simply overwhelmed with all the options you’re stuck in paint paralysis? Consider this your guide through the noise. Go from endless swatches to final selection by following the simple steps below: LET YOURSELF OFF THE HOOK:

GET INSPIRED:

If you’ve been ruminating on this decision for a while, there’s a

easy going).

they may even be able to provide a close color match.

SKIP THE RACK:

TEST BEFORE THE REST:

Do yourself a favor and avoid the large racks of paint chips at big box stores. Sure, it’s fun to let your mind drift off into a million different possibilities, but it’ll do little to further you along. Start with a vision and then narrow it down from there.

Before you fully commit to a shade, bring home a tester and paint a small swatch on the wall. It’s always shocking how much time of day and natural light exposure can change the look of a paint color.

TAKE STOCK: Look at what already exists (and you don’t want to change) in the space you’re planning to paint. As you continue on your search, refer back to these elements to ensure the paint color will feel like an organic fit.

PRO TIP

If you’re completing a whole-home overhaul, we recommend starting with one of the smallest spaces in your home. The satisfaction of one room complete will give you all the motivation you need to keep tackling that to-do (or rather, “to-paint”) list.

KNOW YOUR (PAINT’S) WORTH Although there are many aspects to consider when it comes to purchasing paint, value is one that should never be overlooked. While the cheapest option is almost always the most attractive, value is about much more than just initial price; it’s about worth. Although sticker shock can be a real (and sometimes warranted) part of the paint shopping process, the lowest price point won’t always save you money. In fact, a higher initial spend could save you hundreds in extra (and unnecessary) coats or unforeseen costs. Here’s what to consider as your calculate what value means to you: PIGMENT: The more pigment, the more vibrant and enduring the

PAINTING YOUR PASSAGEWAY Elevate your overlooked hallway with a fresh coat of color! Does your hallway look the same today as the day you moved in? That’s because, though an important thoroughfare, it’s often overlooked as a space that deserves an update. As the area of your home with the most foot traffic, it’s time to stop passing by this passageway. Follow our paint and design advice and have your hallway set the tone for the rest of the home. SELECT YOUR SHADE If your hallway is without windows and darker than the other rooms in your house, choose a light color that will brighten up the narrow corridor and make it look less cramped. Many designers opt for white or light neutrals as they work with multiple color schemes and make the space feel more open. Hallways are also great places to pack a quick punch of color or add drama. As the easiest way to make an impact in a small space, go ahead and showcase your playful personality and find a paint color combination that sparks joy. Painter’s Tip: Consider the wall colors that your hallway connects to and ensure the hue ties the rooms together. Design Trick: If you lack any kind of natural light in your hallway, switch up the lighting and add statement wall sconces or trendy pendants for an extra dose of illumination. PICK YOUR PRODUCT With a wide variety of premium interior paints available, select a coating that will stand up to this high traffic area. Depending on the full scope of your project, go with eggshell or pearl/satin sheen on the walls to provide protection from added abrasion. And stick with a quality flat paint on the ceiling. Painter’s Tip: Pick up top-quality paint supplies, like a brush, roller tray, and roller, to help you achieve a professional look. Design Trick: A wall treatment such as board and batten or shiplap not only gives the space some dimension and visual interest, but it also enhances the durability of the walls. Choose a paint that will work with the wood and stand up to the wear and tear of people coming and going.

PREP THE SPACE You’ll most likely have to remove pictures, patch holes, fill cracks, remove outlet covers, and remove or tape off door trim and baseboards with painter’s tape before you begin. Giving the walls and baseboards a good cleaning to remove fingerprints, dust, and grime and laying down drop cloths to protect flooring and furniture is also important. Painter’s Tip: Cover new surfaces or freshly repaired areas with a coat of primer. Design Trick: If you still have trouble spots on your wall after patching – or even if you don’t! - plan to introduce character and style with a gallery wall of framed photographs or a statement art piece. PAINT THE WALLS Start with the trim and paint a two-inch-wide strip on the wall where it meets the ceiling. Then, using a roller, paint the wall, rolling vertically left to right and top to bottom using even, uniform strokes. Be careful not to oversaturate your roller, dipping it in the deep end of your roller tray until it is covered and then using the ridges in the shallow portion to remove excess paint. Painter’s Tip: Planning on painting the ceiling? Do that first and let it completely dry before moving on to the walls. Design Trick: Visually enlarge your narrow hallway by creating an illusion with two colors – lighter board and batten on the bottom and a pop of color on the above wall or painting a wall at the end of the hall a darker hue than the opposite walls. Additionally, architectural details, such as moldings, paneling, and rails can be customized with color and work well when contrasted with bright white.

A true design lover will understand the impact that even subtle variations of white can have on a room. From frosty blue tinges to hints of warm yellow, the shade you select will set the tone for the mood of your space. Many a home-owner have warned about the trials and tribulations that come along with selecting a white paint color. The source of all this woe? White is THE most reﬂective color, which means that whatever shade of natural light you have pouring into your space will show up on your new white walls. That’s why it’s crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of the ways that your home’s natural light will work with whatever shade you select.

SHEEN CHEAT SHEET A breakdown of the sheen spectrum from flat to high-gloss

From ﬂat and matte to eggshell, pearl or satin, semi and high-gloss, it can be hard to know which sheen will work best for your space. For newbies who are just dipping their toes into the sheen pool, your best bet is to chat with the professionals at Andriots Paint, who can point you in the right direction, but before you go shopping it never hurts to have a basic idea of what you’re after. Generally speaking, the sheen spectrum — from low to high sheen — goes flat, matte, eggshell, satin or pearl, semi-gloss and high-gloss. Check out the sheen cheat sheet below to get the details on each of these options and see which one sounds like the perfect fit for your project.

SATIN OR PEARL: Has a lustrous finish, and is a good option for high-traffic areas due to its durability. It can also stand some exposure to moisture.

FLAT: Low-sheen with a non-reflective finish. Ideal for very low-traffic areas and ceilings.

SEMI-GLOSS: Super sleek, shiny appearance, and best for hightraffic areas and spots that get touched or bumped a lot, such as doors and trims.

MATTE: Low-lustre finish, relatively durable, easy to clean and hides minor surface imperfections well.

HIGH-GLOSS: Creates a bright, ultra-shiny and reflective finish that almost resembles glass. Suitable for surfaces in a high-use environment.

EGGSHELL: Has a soft, smooth appearance, very much like its namesake, an eggshell; slightly reflective. It’s a moderately durable sheen and is a safe choice for most types of walls in your home.

HERE’S A COUPLE OTHER THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN SHEEN SHOPPING:

More sheen means more durability: One rule of thumb is the higher the sheen the better it will be in a high-traffic area that requires a bit more durability. Flat and matte sheens that have little or no shine can be quite easily scratched and marked up, so bedrooms and home offices or similar, lower-traffic spaces would probably be the only places you’d want to use those sheens in. That said, some manufacturers have developed matte finish products with durability equal to that of their eggshells. Moderate sheens like eggshell, satin or pearl, and higher sheens such as

semi or high-gloss, however, can stand a lot of abuse, so they are great for busy areas. Moisture-prone areas such as the bathroom or kitchen are great candidates for paints made specifically for those conditions, ask your local expert. Sheen affects room mood: It’s important to base your sheen selection on the function of your room and using the sheen that will accommodate that, but you should also consider how it will look in that room and the overall feel you are after. For example, lower sheen paints soak up light, which helps hide imperfections, and high-gloss sheens do the opposite, reflecting light to make darker rooms feel brighter and lighter and emphasizing imperfections.

Le Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen

EXPLORE THE LARGEST ANTIQUES AND SECOND-HAND MARKET IN THE WORLD

Le Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen’s origins date back to the 19th century, before the city’s garbage collection infrastructure was put into place. Ragmen (sometimes called crocheteurs, or, in English, ‘hook men’, for the hooks they used) would scour through garbage, collecting objects they hoped to resell. In 1860, these men were barred from the city on account of health concerns, pushing them to the outskirts where they constructed temporary structures (building was illegal in this area) to conduct their business. Before long, rumors of incredible bargains (and cheap firearms) circulated, bringing more and more traffic to the area. In the early days, the market operated in ostensible unorganized chaos, with items for sale in stacks and heaps on the ground. One visitor called what he saw “nothing but a flea market” – which is where the now popular phrase was born. Today, the market spans 17 acres, with 12 official markets connected via five streets (although you can access all markets from the main road, Rue des Rosiers), and around 2,500 vendors. In 2001, it was classified as a heritage zone due to its significant historical roots and particular brand of ambiance. The Saint-Ouen flea market has grown into a sprawling community, where passers-by can find everything from antique cut

crystal to perfectly-patinaed French-label leather jackets. But even if you’re not on the hunt for a bargain (or you have absolutely no wiggleroom in your suitcase), it’s a worthy endeavor to experience the unique charm and bustle that attracts so many year over year.

DO AS THE PARISIANS DO: BARTERING 101 The only thing more thrilling than snagging a one-of-a-kind piece is knowing you got it for less than asking. A little bit of haggling is expected and welcomed at the Paris flea. Provided you are maintaining decorum, you’ll fit right in.

A few things to keep in mind: • Always greet your merchants with a polite smile and a simple “bonjour.” • Allow vendors to share their knowledge with you about whatever pieces you are considering – many of them are experts and want to know their pieces are going to a home where they will be appreciated. • Although the market doesn’t break for lunch, you’ll sense when vendors are slowing down to grab a bite. If you see them unfolding a small card table, consider it your cue to take a lunch break yourself!

rimming with treasures and trinkets varying from vintage gems to up-and-coming architectural marvels, the Paris flea market is an iconic European shopping destination, drawing celebrities and internationally renowned designers from around the globe. Each weekend, it receives around 150,000 visitors, totaling more than five million every year, making it the fourth most visited attraction in France.

PLAY HARD TO GET: You won’t want to express too much interest at first, as it may expose yourself as an easy target, limiting your negotiating power.

BE A LITTLE DRAMATIQUE: If a price is given that you aren’t prepared to pay, react! There’s no need for raised voices, but a tiny gasp paired with a saddened “tant pis” (oh well) can work wonders.

EXTORT THE EXPORT: During your negotiation, don’t forget to mention the fees that might be involved in bringing the product back overseas. They may agree to lowering the price even further.

A HANDSHAKE SEALS THE DEAL: Once a price is decided on and hands have been shaken, it would be considered rude to go back on your end of the bargain.

HISTORY IN THE MAKING Design: Lauren Svenstrup, Studio Sven | Photography: Ryan McDonald | Text: Twila Driedger

Renovating a loft with your partner is no easy feat, but designer Lauren Svenstrup and her husband Jim Fessler took on the challenge, creating something bold andand beautiful from thethe bones of aofhistoric building. something bold beautiful from bones a historic loft.

“The client was highly design-forward, big into taking risks and very opinionated… and I’m allowed to say all that, because I was the client,” shares designer Lauren Svenstrup, founder of Studio Sven. When Svenstrup and her husband Jim Fessler first laid eyes on this historic organ-factory-turned-loft in Chicago, they knew they had to make it their own. Once home to the Hammond Organ Company, the space hadn’t seen an update since the 1990s and was ripe for renovation. “We at Studio Sven are all about bold, unapologetic personality, so a loft with a unique history was the perfect base for our style.” At the time, the couple hadn’t yet expanded their family, and they wanted a home that reflected their busy, urban lifestyle. So, Svenstrup started designing a dramatic space that reflected both of their personalities. “If there’s one thing about me, it’s that I choose the bold choice nearly every time,” Svenstrup says. “I knew I wanted my home to reflect that – for the sake of creativity and my portfolio – so I made a statement at any chance I got. As for my husband, he leans far more utilitarian. In his single-guy apartment, he was content using a barstool as a side table next to his sofa. I didn’t want him to feel like he was sacrificing function in favor of my vision, so the design looked to infuse livability and practicality into every room.” Below: Svenstrup scored second-hand gold when she went to purchase this green marble dining table and the owner offered to sell her the Italian Murano chandelier that now hangs above it. Together with the green vinyl banquette, it’s the perfect place to wine and dine. Beside: Black is anything but basic in the kitchen, where the bold black walls, cabinets and countertops are warmed with wood floors and ceilings, soft decor and glitzy accessories.

30 I S S U E 15

Renovating bathrooms and a kitchen while living in the home proved to be the biggest hurdle for the couple, who tackled some of the work, like painting the dated oak kitchen cabinets, themselves. “We started construction within a few weeks of moving in together – just to add a layer to the stress beyond the acclimation period of moving in with your significant other,” Svenstrup says, laughing. Thankfully, all the drama came by way of design and not in the relationship. The architectural bones of the project – including the exposed brick, fireplace and wooden beams – already told a distinct narrative and guided Svenstrup in the design. Her penchant for dark, moody hues played out in the edgy black walls and kitchen dripping with drama. According to the designer, the black started small but quickly spread from the countertops to the cabinets, then to the backsplash and eventually crept up the Venetian plaster walls. “Venetian plaster is a technique combining marble dust and plaster to create a textured look and feel, and we took this route over more expensive wallpaper or backsplash. Not only was it a budget-friendly choice, but it’s one of the most conversation-sparking elements of the whole home. The Venetian plaster is a great choice for a kitchen or bathroom – it’s inherently waterproof and antimicrobial.” Generating conversations is easy in this loft, with authentic elements and curated artifacts that were carefully displayed throughout the space. The couple selected a handful of new items and paired them with vintage or pre-owned furniture

and materials that add an elevated edge. An eight-foot mirrored floor lamp, a green marble dining table, an Italian Murano chandelier and a few cacti in the corners bring a character that is as refined as it is surprising. Punches of color such as mulberry velvet on the sectional, green vinyl on the banquette and a burst of teal in the bedroom are as fun as they are functional. “I kept the existing architectural elements of the space, then built around them with light fixtures, hardware and furnishings,” explains Svenstrup. “Given the setting and our own taste in vintage pieces, we wanted the entire space to give off the ‘collected’ feel of a favorite vintage shop, while also paying homage to the building’s history.” The designer stayed true to the age of the space, allowing the bones of the building to be the backdrop to bold layers of prints and patterns, like a hand-stamped border in the dining room, a tiger print rug and a large-scale line mural in the bedroom. “The interiors are a mix of old and new, with unique stories layered into every room. Many of the furnishings and accessories within are vintage, and there’s texture everywhere from the walls to the soft finishes,” she says. Svenstrup used three paint colors on the wall in the primary bedroom to create movement within a textured background and then painted a pattern over it with a creamy satin finish paint to catch the light. While the tones are dark and moody, the clients are anything but. “We wanted this space to be ready for entertaining and relaxing – and what sparks better conversation than bold design elements?” Since Svenstrup spends her days designing for others, pouring her creative energy into her own home was extremely satisfying. “This is the first time I was ever able to fully start over and do this for myself, for our aesthetic and functional needs first,” she details. “Devising a plan and executing it versus mixing and matching what we already had was very exciting and rewarding. It was important to leave everything else behind and begin again with a space that best represented us versus what our individual lives were before.” The couple has since had another opportunity to start anew, handing the keys off to the loft’s current owner and opting for a larger family home suited to their current needs with two young daughters. “I’m jealous of [the] new residents – it truly is a special place.” A saturated blue goes floor to ceiling to envelope the living room in strength and softness. A French tapestry and complementary neutral colors and textures bring character and warmth to the gathering space.

When Lisa Clark was 12 years old, she saved every penny of her babysitting earnings to design the bedroom of her dreams. “My sister was saving up for makeup and name brand clothes, and I was saving up to buy paint, fabric, wallpaper and furniture,” she explains. “By the time I was 13, I had bought all new furniture for my bedroom.” Using her artistic juices to make spaces sparkle was simply a hobby for Clark, who grew up in rural Manitoba, Canada, and didn’t know that interior designers existed. “I was always this person who, when I was in a space, was trying to figure out how to make it more beautiful or welcoming,” Clark details. “I didn’t know that making a living being creative was an option for me.” It was only after Clark got married and she and her husband were building a little bungalow that she started seeing the literal painting on the wall. Tradespeople coming in to work were not only admiring her design work but interested in hiring Clark to join their team. “It was really serendipitous, it was just meant to be,” says Clark, who poured herself into learning the practical skills, enrolled in classes, and eventually made a complete career change. “I totally shifted direction.” After a local radio station featured the aspiring designer in a Trading Spaces-style story, word of mouth spread, and the designer started connecting with clients and transforming their spaces into places with function, beauty and longevity. “What I do is all about the people, because as much as I love design, I’m not about my portfolio,” Clark clarifies. “I’m actually all about the people for whom I’m creating. At the end of the day, I want to know how families live, how they

work and how they connect with one another. And then I create spaces that make their family life more enjoyable.” When Clark’s clients – a mother-daughter duo, both businesswomen – approached her, they were looking for the designer to create a lake home where they could escape and unwind with their families. The property on Lake of the Woods, close to the Manitoba-Ontario provincial border, featured a toosmall cottage, with great bones and incredible views on all sides. In order to make the space big enough for extended gatherings, summer sleepovers and weekend getaways, Clark teamed up with Black Fox Construction who gutted the main floor, added a mudroom and doubled the size of the complete space with a second storey. “It took an army to piece together the structural engineering to get the second floor on,” she explains. “There’s a room that’s called the bunk room and it’s just built-in bunk beds - doubles on the bottom, singles on the top, in a teeny tiny footprint. But the thought was that we can fit so many people in there!” While space was essential for the women, so was warmth and walls of windows showcasing the area’s breathtaking views. So, Clark brought tones and textures from the flora and fauna and sticks and stones and incorporated them seamlessly into the renovation. “I’m always drawn to respecting the environment that I’m building in and so, I’m often thinking about how I can use natural materials,” explains Clark, who opted for hickory on the island and open shelving.

SPR ING 2024

“I wanted a very warm wood that had some knots in it and some texture that felt a little more rustic and a little more [cabin-like] as opposed to a white oak that can read a little cleaner. And so we went with a hickory because of all that character and graining and knotting that you get in it.” To create a charming cottage that feels entrenched in history with years of memories in the waiting, Clark matched the exact shade of the kitchen cabinets to a beloved green serving tray that the clients brought in, selected standalone appliances, pulled the warm wood forward into the sink cabinet and added cupped brass hardware. “I wanted the island to have a wood top as well. I didn’t want quartz on top of it. I wanted the island to feel like a piece of furniture,” Clark details. “Every little detail, every little molding was thought out so that it wouldn’t read like cabinet boxes.” Splashes of color were added to bathrooms and bedrooms to help tell the story of the space. A bright blue vanity with Benjamin Moore’s Van Deusen Blue is mirrored in the crisp cool waters off the dock. The green walls in the main floor powder room acknowledge the thick boreal forest bordering the cottage. And additional shades of blue are brought onto the ceiling in the bunkie and on the walls of the master bedroom, a sign of clear skies and fun times ahead. “We tried to keep all of our floors black and white and neutral but then inject some color in each room,” Clark shares, adding that the walls, baseboards and casings in the main living space were all painted the same soft shade of white to draw the eye to the view out the window. “I didn’t want too many competing focal points because everything was so light and bright. But then when you contrast that with the change to a much different, deeper color, it changes the feel. If you do everything light or everything dark, I think you miss out on some of that opportunity to change your experience as you move through [the space].” The client certainly hasn’t missed the opportunity to experience the joy of making memories at their Lake of the Woods property. From gathering around the island and baking cookies with grandchildren to packing the place full during Manitoba’s magical summer weekends, the lake house continues to bring the family together. “That’s the rewarding part,” says Clark. “I know that this family is growing and creating memories in this space and it’s functioning for them in such a beautiful way.”

DIAM OND IN THE ROU GH Design: Amanda Hamilton Design Photography: Joel Klassen Text: Twila Driedger

The owners of this hidden gem of a house, nestled in farmland outside of Red Deer, Alberta, enlisted Amanda Hamilton Design to enrich their new build with everything they envisioned. And so, the studio delivered, curating a contemporary design with lots of personality and loads of space to play.

The main living space is light and breezy but also warm and inviting with layered textures, brushed brass, rift sawn white oak, custom paneling and plenty of seating.

Amanda Hamilton Design has given a family of four beauty for ashes. The client, a husband-wife duo, along with their two young daughters, reached out to the studio via their website after losing their home to a fire. “It was totally turnkey,” Amanda Hamilton of Amanda Hamilton Design says of the project. “They didn’t have anything. It was all gone.” The designer, along with her team of 12 headed by lead designer Sarah Peters, took on the task of turning adversity into advantage and delivering a warm, inviting family home. From the full scope of interior design drawings to lighting, hardware, finishes and furniture – even the itty-bitty details, like the vessel on the nightstand and towels in the powder room, Hamilton’s team was part of every piece of this custom project. “[It included] all the plans, all the elevations, all the renderings, specifications, finishes and materials,” Hamilton explains. “And then, of course, the furniture package which was extensive. There’s actually a lot of custom furniture in the house.” The approximately 8,000-square-foot residence, nestled in the trees just outside of Red Deer, Alberta, is bathed in luxe, yet livable design and family-friendly function, a necessity for the laid-back clients who are busy business owners. Working alongside the professionals to create this classic contemporary custom home was a delight for the team at Amanda Hamilton Design, who used their signature approach of thoughtful exploration and true distillation of the client’s aesthetic, values and lifestyle. “From a personality standpoint, we just really hit it off. They are very down to earth, hard-working people and just very modest. And we ended up building this really beautiful house

42 I S S U E 15

for them,” Hamilton says, explaining that prior to the aesthetic plan, an initial design call determined the client’s expectations, the scope of work and ultimately if they’re a good fit for each other. According to Hamilton, part-way through the project, the customer trusted the team enough to give them the go-ahead to proceed without showing them all the specs, furniture choices and details. And so, they set out, selecting sumptuous finishes, custom furniture and relaxed and playful accessories to adorn the blank canvas. To create a bright and calming vibe on the second floor, where the kitchen and living room are situated, Hamilton and her team chose a predominately soft and ethereal palette featuring a combination of natural stones, brushed brass, rift sawn white oak, textural wallcoverings and custom paneling. “One of the things that I think is really important in a custom home is making sure that there’s lots of variation in a big house,” Hamilton details. “We’re really mindful about modifying the finishes and materials.” The studio used three or four different wood stains to complement the hardwood, with hickory on the custom coffee table and white oak in the millwork and played with materiality between the rooms that mirror each other. “We don’t want them to be identical. But you can see that the countertops are the same material as the surround for the fireplace,” she adds. “For the backsplash in the kitchen, we introduced another stone – something that has a little bit more movement and character to it.” The backsplash acts as art and is complimented with two-toned cabinetry gushing with glamor and exceptional symmetry. And the five stools at the counter accommodate plenty of opportunity for gathering and play, a specific client request. In addition to the bright main floor, the house showcases an indoor pool for the kids to swim in during Canada’s cold winter months, an outdoor living space for the area’s stunning seasons, a home gym and a collection of contemporary bathrooms, including one that is ultra spa-inspired. “We decided during construction that we wanted to keep [the primary bathroom] really light and bright, but very elevated, like a hotel aesthetic,” Hamilton details. “So, we played a lot with the brass detailing and did some accenting, because one of the things that really dates the house is if you only use one metal type all the way through. So, in the same way that we like to use three or four different

SPR ING 2024

types of millwork stains and color, we also like to mix metals, and brass and black complement each other really well.” As light and bright as is this home’s main living space, the lower level is a complete contrast. Dark paneled walls, a hip bar with backlit onyx, an oversized green velvet sectional and separate theater room add a moody aura to this otherwise airy abode. And its interior is as diverse as its exterior locale – a treasure tucked in the countryside of central Alberta. “I just remember going to a site visit once and both of their girls were in pink tights, with no shoes, playing in a dirt pile,” she says. “I think it’s so interesting because I think people make assumptions based on the formality of the house, how people live, but this is a house that people actually live in.” The clients appreciate their stylish space so much that they’ve acquired Amanda Hamilton Design to bring their Palm Springs-inspired lake house design dreams to reality. “If you have multiple properties, why not express different aesthetics in each of the properties? Because when you go to them, you’re going there for a different reason,” Hamilton says. “So, your mountain home shouldn’t feel like your city home and your city home shouldn’t feel like your mountain home.” Either way, with Hamilton driving the design, it’ll feel like home.

In comparison to the main floor, the lower level is a dramatic departure, with brass accents, dark stone, contemporary wallpaper and mod decor for a hip, laid-back vibe.

nspiration for the design of this large Kitsilano craftsman renovation project literally walked into interior designer Denise Ashmore’s office. Her client, a well-traveled father of two, was wearing shoes that kicked off the color scheme. “David came in one day – he’s always well dressed, he’s a fashionable fellow. He came in with oxblood shoes and we decided, why do a gray kitchen when we could do something much different, like a classic burgundy or oxblood color, based on his shoes,” explains Ashmore. As international travelers, busy professionals and parents to young twins, the clients approved of the surprising shade. Another item they hoped Ashmore’s project22design firm could help them with? Restoring their classic Vancouver heritage home to its rich character. The clients were relocating from Hong Kong to Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighborhood and needed help bringing their traditional craftsman build up to date, while respecting its beautiful bones. “We basically wanted to restore it back to what it was,” she shares. “The vision was to take it back to looking and feeling like a Kits craftsman house. A lot of the detailing was kept. More than anything, they wanted something that was much more playful and not typical.” The original house was divided up into a number of suites and needed a ton of work. Through the studio’s design Built-in storage was provided as the perfect way to showcase the client’s brilliant collection of interview process, Ashmore discovered the best arrangement Danish glass birds, while the scenic view provides the perfect backdrop for rest and relaxation. for the busy family was to rebuild the house and recreate the traditional elements that attracted the owners to the property. “It made sense for us to lift the house, move it over and drop it back down and create this much more livable permanent dwelling for them,” Ashmore details. By the time the crumbling craftsman was gutted, lifted and moved onto a new foundation, there was nothing left but a shell, requiring a rebuild courtesy of Lepp Construction and meticulous interior planning by Ashmore and her team to completely restore the one-of-a-kind project. “The client wanted to keep that little turret space in the back completely intact and the inlaid oak floors in the main,” says Ashmore. “And so, we painstakingly took photos. We documented that house and then recreated all of it.” Signature archways, moldings and trim work and distinctive details were all restored and preserved. The historic home’s original stained-glass windows were salvaged and reinstalled in new frames, rousing a rich palette for Ashmore to echo in various elements. Greens and oxblood, tempered with warm white and soft gray, are playfully placed bringing color and pattern, such as in the kitchen’s terrazzo tile. In the cozy breakfast nook, the stain was matched, and the original oak paneling was recreated for the family of four. Other elements unique to the 1912 build were also brought back to life, albeit some with a different purpose. “There were a few little treasures in the house that they really wanted to keep,” Ashmore details. “There are a few hot water heaters that still remain but they’re unfunctional. They

use them as plant stands or just as decorative objects in the house. So, they were very much trying to pay homage to the house and be respectful of what it was.” The original clawfoot tub was also salvaged and dramatically re-enameled in oxblood and antique gold and moved to the principal bathroom on the second floor. The luxurious ensuite is rich in design materials with contemporary black metal shower enclosure, porcelain terrazzo tile and complementary puzzle tile pattern on the shower wall. In the main floor powder room, the client’s personalities and penchant for travel are displayed in the playful fabric wallcovering featuring extinct animals. “They didn’t want it to be an expected experience. They wanted something different,” Ashmore explains. “They’re internationally sort of grounded in the world. So, they have a very fun wallpaper that is of extinct animals; it’s a very cool print.” Treasures and objects and art from the clients’ travels and personal collection are displayed throughout the home, generating interest and elegance, and weaving stories throughout the sophisticated spaces. But not all elements of the remodel evoke history. Contemporary and elegant elements, such as the black reeded glass sliding screen between the office and living room and stunning chandeliers bring a modern spin to the traditional build.

the clients needed a space that was equally functional for their family. With house guests coming from overseas and across the country, two busy working professionals and active kids, each room needed to suit their lifestyle. “They like to entertain. Roy works at home and David travels for work but also works at home,” Ashmore explains. “So, we have one office on the main floor, a little nanny suite at the back and a great mudroom for coming in with all kinds of stuff and gear. The house is very functional.” Now when the family comes home, there is a locker for every member, and plenty of floor space for putting on shoes and boots. Thanks to Ashmore and her team at project22design, her clients are finally able to hang up their coats at the same place and unwind in a space that is unequivocally created for them. “The most exhilarating part was probably moving them in and seeing the kids enjoying their space,” she says. “It sounds cliché, but honestly, the family had never lived together in the same house. Roy was living with the twins and David was living in another apartment, so actually getting them together in the same home really felt good.” Above: The whimsical wallpaper in the main floor powder room reflects the client’s global background.

how to hang like a gallerist

52 I S S U E 15

Just as no floor space is complete without furniture, no wall is complete without the adornments of pictures and artwork. Incorporating frames helps to personalize a home while creating varied focal points for the eye to rest upon in delight. Don’t be intimidated by the process we’re breaking it down step by step to have you hanging like a gallerist. S U P PL IES : • LEVEL • MEASURING TAPE • PENCIL • HAMMER, ELECTRIC DRILL OR SCREWDRIVER • YOUR HARDWARE OF CHOICE (see "METHOD" section below)

STEP ONE: Select the photographs or artwork you’d like to hang. It can be as simple as a snapshot of a fond memory or as obscure as a movie poster of one of your favorite flicks – in the right frame, anything can be art. As long as it means something to you and doesn’t detract from the color scheme and overall feel of your space, it’s a great opportunity to display a little character. STEP TWO: Find the right frame – photographs will generally look better with a larger matting around them to draw the eye inward on smaller details, while artwork or prints that are larger in scale can be fitted to the frame. STEP THREE: Select your method of hanging in coordination with the hardware attached to your frame (if no wire or holes are visible at the back of your frame, you can select what works best for you depending on your comfort level and the weight of your frame).

RENTER’S TIP: If you’re looking to avoid holes in your walls altogether or have a strict damage-deposit policy to work with, Command Strips can be a great option! You can find them at most independent paint and decorating stores!

method LIGHTWEIGHT: If a frame is lightweight enough, a simple nail (which will leave the least amount of damage on your wall) paired with one of the following hardware options will often do the trick. Measure your desired height and hammer the nail into the wall so about 2 cm remains sticking out. Sawtooth: A small bracket with a zig-zag edge – a great option for lighter-weight frames. Place the jagged-edge of the sawtooth upon it until it finds the right “groove” to rest level. Hanging Wire: Can often be the simplest solution, but will sometimes allow your frame to lean slightly forwards. Position your frame so the wire can rest upon the nail and use a level to find the right angle. HEAVYWEIGHT: For heavier frames, keyholes and D-Rings are the best option to ensure your frame will have the support it needs. You’ll need to measure your desired height as well as the distance between the hardware on the back of your frame. Plot one of the corners first using a pencil, and then hold your frame with a level on top to plot the second mark. A double headed screw is the best match for this type of hardware – you can screw them in using an electric drill or a screwdriver. Keyholes: A slotted hole mounted to the top corners of the back of your frame. D-Rings: Two rings mounted to the corners of your frame.

pro tips: • When hanging a single frame of a larger size, a good rule of thumb is to have the bottom of the frame float exactly 60" above the floor. This will put the frame roughly at eyeline height, right where we want it! • If you’re hanging a frame above a console table or another object, have the bottom of the frame float about 2" off the surface.

Printemps A Paris Text: Andrea Danelak

Discover the City of Light as it gleams and blooms in front of your eyes.

he great American novelist Henry Miller once wrote “when spring comes to Paris, the humblest mortal alive must feel that he dwells in paradise.” Indeed, as the city saturates with blooms that seem to cover every façade and Parisians shed their cozy peacoats that kept them warm all winter, there is an air of possibility, an unmistakable joie de vivre, discernable at every street corner. It’s a time of optimism, a time of liveliness and perhaps most importantly, a time when tourists have not yet arrived en masse to crowd every reservation list, vintage shop and museum. The sunshine is warm while the breeze is cool, tinged with the sweet aroma of cherry blossoms. Birds flutter busily overhead. The scene is set for you to “flâner” (a French word which means to stroll aimlessly) about the city at your preferred pace.

FUN FACT Paris received its nickname, The City of Light, after its early adoption of an extensive system of street lighting in the 19th century.

Covering 25 hectors of land and offering free admission to tourists and Parisians alike, the Jardin du Luxembourg is a wonderful place to dream away an afternoon amongst manicured lines of tulips, a beautiful rose garden and 106 statues spread throughout the park.

Arc de Triomphe This monument erected by Napoleon in the peak of his career to commemorate military glory must be experienced in person to appreciate its grand stature. It’s also the perfect starting point for a romp down the luxurious shops of Champs-Élysées.

The Louvre If you only visit one museum while in Paris, let it be the Louvre. Famous throughout the globe and home to the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo statue, it’s filled with essential pieces of art history you’ve learned about all your life.

The Eiffel Tower As you may have guessed, the Eiffel Tower is not to be missed. In fact, we’d recommend putting this on your itinerary twice: once for an afternoon picnic (don’t forget your baguette and a bottle of bubbly for the full experience), and once after sunset so you can see it all lit up!

Musée de l’Orangerie An exhibition of impressionists and post-impressionists, you can find Claude Monet’s large “Water Lilies” mural here.

Saint-Germain-Des-Prés With a storied past that housed writers like Oscar Wilde, de Beauvoir and Albert Camus, this neighborhood is home to classic cafes where existentialists did their bidding (a.k.a., talking). Stop by Café de Flore and Deux Magots to take in a piece of literary history.

Easter Church Service Some of the city’s oldest and most monumental buildings are churches (Sacré Coeur Basilica and the Église Saint Germain des Prés) – and what better time to see them than during Easter celebrations. Paris’ American Cathedral, Trinity International Church and St. Joseph’s Catholic Church all offer English-language services.

WEATHER: The temperature in springtime ranges from a comfortable 54 F to 68 F, creating the perfect climate for street markets and outdoor exploration, although dressing in layers is always a good idea, especially for after dark. The city sees a good amount of rain during late March and early April, so it’s a good idea to pack an umbrella or make a point to pick one up on your first day. Luckily, there are no shortage of museums to pop into should you find yourself in the middle of an unexpected downpour.

A staple within the Parisian landscape is Montmartre village, which sports a distinctly vintage feel and authentic ambiance. Famous in its own right (thank you, Moulin Rouge!), you can enjoy an afternoon simply wandering its sloped cobblestone roads and popping in and out of hip bistros and shops.

L’Histoire De La Belle Epoque aris and its beauty are inextricable from its history. So much of its distinctive charm came about during a period of time now known as the Belle Époque, a time of remarkable economic, artistic and architectural progress between 1871 and 1914 that began after the fall of the Paris Commune and ended with the onset of the first world war. The radical left-wing group known as the Paris Commune had seized power in the wake of France’s defeat during the Franco-Prussian War and the subsequent collapse of Napoleon III’s Second Empire. They ruled from March 18 through to May 28, when the French Army reclaimed the city – but not before significant destruction had occurred. Several beloved buildings were casualties of the violent confrontation, including Paris’ city hall, Hôtel de Ville and Tuileries Palace. In the decades following, Paris was rebuilt with new vigor, with the influence of Art Nouveau weighing in, a sensibility that favored ornate details, intricate awnings and naturally-inspired forms. Most notable among the Belle Époque’s architectural advancements is the Eiffel Tower, which was constructed to serve as the grand entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair. The city’s metro entrances are also a stunning example of this aesthetic at work. Installed between 1900 and 1912 and designed by architect Hector Guimard, 86 of 141 still stand today.

The architecture boom at the turn of the 20th century was also accompanied by an explosion of culture – writers, artists and creatives from all over the world took their turns contributing to a rich intellectual scene. Already known as a scientific and philosophical hub of activity thanks to its instrumental role in the Age of Enlightenment, it quickly became a destination for dreamers and free thinkers. The city’s art world underwent an “avant-garde” reinvention – a reaction to the traditionalism that had previously ruled. Historical subjects and religious allegories were put aside in favor of new approaches to ordinary scenes – leading the charge were a group who would later be known as the Impressionists (Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas and Pierre-Auguste Renoir). This influence steeped into graphic design as well with the introduction of the color lithograph, an invention from the “Father of the Modern Poster,” Jules Chéret. Artists used this new tool to immortalize cafes and cabarets (you may be able to call to mind the iconic Moulin Rouge poster by artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, which has been reproduced countless times). It was this critical period of prosperity that still seems to define Paris today, a time that poised Paris as the cultural capital of the world, cementing its romantic ideals in our collective consciousness and paving way for new dreams to be built upon an already rich legacy. This vision of Paris has proven to be so seductive, it attracts tens of millions of visitors every year – people who come to add their own chapter to the city’s ever-expanding story.

Le Clarence Set in a luxurious private mansion lined with neoclassical paintings and draped with crystal chandeliers, Le Clarence offers more than a delicious meal (although Chef Christophe Pelé’s seasonal menu is reason enough to visit). If you appreciate the finer things in life (like an expertly curated natural wine list and the ornate decadence of wood paneling), it’s a must see.

Maison Sauvage Located in a lively corner in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and covered in a sea of seasonal florals, this caférestaurant is the perfect lunch spot (or anytime spot - stop by between 7am and 2am without reservations).

Le Recamier It would be a shame to leave Paris without trying an authentic souffle. Situated a short walk from Le Bon Marché and Jardin du Luxembourg, you can make an afternoon of it.

Clown Bar Contrary to what this establishment’s name would have you think, Clown Bar’s food is nothing to laugh at. Its chef, Sota Atsumi, has curated a delicious menu to be enjoyed amongst quintessential Art Nouveua paintings (be sure to look up at the ceiling!).

Bisou An intimate evening is always in store at Bisou, where mixologists create individually tailored craft cocktails on the spot and chefs will cook up your cravings using fresh ingredients they have on hand.

quipped with otherworldly allure and surprising versatility, this violet blue crossover shade is inspired by the great expanse of the cosmos. Suggestive of the limitless possibilities at hand when the full range of color is embraced, Blue Nova is comfortable operating as a background character or in the spotlight. Try it out as an elevated alternative to navy, enlivened with greater depth and intrigue, but still dialed-back enough to generate classic appeal. Or, envelope a room in its galactic glow from baseboards to ceiling for a monochromatic color moment, perfect for a bedroom.

home With the theme of exploration at the forefront, Benjamin Moore 2024’s color palette inspires us to reach for the potential that lies just outside of our comfort zones and to marvel at the beauty that arises when new possibilities are embraced. Emboldened, we approach color with a newfound playfulness, bringing together unexpected shades.

Teacup Rose 2170-50 A charming and quaint marriage of coral and pink in a pastel hue.

enjamin Moore asks us to “explore the extraordinary” with their 2024 palette, selecting shades that favor bold strokes rather than the greiges of that past. Bringing energy and charisma, these hues work well as stand-alone pops of color or in varied combinations of one another, offering us an infinitely expanding network of color moments to integrate into our spaces. In putting together this selection of shades, the Benjamin Moore team was focused on balancing the juxtaposition between the routine of homelife and the revitalizing energy of new experiences, often encountered outside of our own four walls. By incorporating colors that reference the beauty of our world, from the night sky above to the sun-soaked streets of South America, Benjamin Moore has influenced us all to expand our horizons and lean into the uplifting moods these new color moments offer us.

A thoughtfully selected rug can provide all the inspiration and direction you need. From bold and brilliant patterns to muted motifs, looking to this single item will ensure you end with a final look that feels true to your taste and organically integrated.

GEOMETRIC WHIMSY

A selection like this is guaranteed to become the focal point of the space, so the work becomes about complimenting the established playful vibe. Because the pattern is working on a larger geometric scale, you can invite other patterns in that feature smaller-scale prints, like striped cushions.

A fun print featuring a well-established color scheme is a great choice, as it allows you to select shades that are already proven to play well together. We recommend pulling two paint matches (one neutral, and another with more personality, as seen here) to use for your walls and accents.

REGENT GREEN 2136-20

True comfort is about so much more than our physical senses. It’s a feeling — the distinct sense that we are at one with our surroundings. We cultivate it by creating spaces that envelope the eye and put our bodies at ease. One of the most impactful tools we have at our disposal in this pursuit is the language of color. While every shade carries a world of signiﬁcance, it is also sublingual, allowing us to project our own meanings. Now that we have bid adieu to the standardized neutral palettes of decade’s past for the full spectrum of possibilities, we have given our homes permission to say new things through the power of paint. Next time you step into a room and ponder over paint chips, ask yourself: If these walls really could talk, what would I want them to say?
