TURNING THE PAGE
LAST NIGHT, we hosted our first socially distanced dinner party on our terrace. There were only five of us, it was super simple and casual, and yet it felt very special. I have a long dining table, so I sat one couple kitty-corner at one end, one single in the middle, and Michel and I at the other end (you can see my terrace video on houseandhome.com/terrace). The trick I learned is to give each person, or couple, their own set of serving LET’S CONNECT pieces, and stacks of paper napkins, @houseandhome clean glasses, plates and flatware, salt @lyndareevesdesign and pepper, butter... and little bottles @lyndareeves of hand sanitizer. I put the food out on platters, buffet style, on a serving table and filled huge bowls with ice, plus bottles and cans of assorted drinks. We had grilled the ribs and corn in advance, had the salads ready to go and bought small, individual baguettes for each person. Everyone used their own plates and tools to serve themselves, and it actually felt somewhat normal and totally safe. Looking through this issue at the amazingly creative and beautiful small spaces, I feel drawn to them precisely because they’re cosy and manageable while still appreciating the benefit of our large outdoor space at this surreal and challenging time. I’ve been thinking a lot about space lately. In fact, my home office is now looking like a bomb shelter for blueprints, material samples and stacks of design books while I contemplate the space planning of our clients’ homes, plus our own. We bought a vintage lakehouse on the south shore of Lake Simcoe late last fall. It’s a true beauty, lovingly preserved for almost 100 years by one family. 2020 has been all about winterizing and renovating the house to become a year-round residence. My spare hours have been spent sketching, planning, surfing for products, saving images and doing frequent site inspections. It’s so incredibly exciting. Many talented people are helping me make this dream a reality. 12 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020
RIGHT: The new B.C. cedar roof is almost complete.
Starting next issue, I’ll be sharing the details and introducing you to our team, both in print and in a 10-part video series showing the most exciting elements of the renovation, leading up to the big reveal this spring. Here are a few photos of the original house, plus the beginning of the transformation. Next month, the regular series will begin, starting with Finding Your Look, Choosing a Palette, The Perfect Paint Colours and Building a Scheme. It’s July now, and we’re in the thick of construction. Last night, our contractor emailed me to say that enough is enough! His team needs final decisions on basically... everything! No more dawdling about where that amazing wall-hung sink with the sleek wall-mounted faucets is going to sit... I have to commit to FINAL plumbing and electrical placements by Monday, or the ugly price of “extras” will become a reality. No more sleeping for me for a while! And at long last, we’re reopening our House & Home Media office in Toronto. I feel excited and relieved to be going back, but also apprehensive. I’m reluctant to give up the friendly, spontaneous ease of seeing faces on Zoom and FaceTime, chatting from the comfort of home, and always being able to reach everyone, anytime, without guilt! We’ve bonded through this strange time in ways that have brought us closer and made me feel grateful for the support and huge efforts of our whole team. Thank you for your letters of encouragement. Thank you also to the many people who have written to us since the Black Lives Matter movement took hold. Your letters asking us to seek out more homeowners and designers of colour have been an important reminder to try harder. Please be part of our search. Send us any leads and we’ll follow up. Finally, check out our website, houseandhome.com. It has a fresh new look and our video pages are working better than ever. You’ll find our new video series Behind the Design, where I’m back visiting your favourite designers at home and getting the secrets to those amazing rooms. Now back to those lakehouse decisions that can’t wait. Enjoy the issue!

YOUR LETTERS KUDOS FOR HOUSEBOUND Find our video series on youtube.com/ houseandhome and houseandhome.com
I’ve been so impressed by House & Home during this trying time. From your Housebound series to the free issues available to download, it’s been wonderful to see you pivot and focus on your readers, making sure that we have something to watch, read and distract ourselves with, for at least a little while. I’m a loyal subscriber, to both print and now online, and will continue to subscribe. Bravo! — LISA GOULET, Ottawa Thank you, Lynda, for inspiring me with Housebound. My home is a work in progress and it’s almost finished — here’s the sight line (see below)! — CHELSEA THIVIERGE, Airdrie, Alta.
I read with interest about the redesign and renovation cost of the six- by 10-foot trailer in the June issue (“The Happy Camper”). All the time and effort spent on this project seems to be creative, stylistically thoughtful and interesting. However, since the lack of space didn’t allow for the creation of a bathroom or an additional sleeping area for a third person, the money spent appears excessive in the end. Having experienced campgrounds and their various “facilities” many times in the Rocky Mountains west of Calgary, I can see that, for the campers using this RV, there will be a stark contrast! — VIVIAN PEREPELECTA, Stony Plain, Alta. I love your magazine and have been a loyal subscriber for many years. While I enjoy all the features, renos and tips throughout, the treat I look forward to at the end is the “Ask a Designer” page. I love the real questions by average people about their average homes, and that they’re often on limited budgets. It’s so disappointing when it’s simply a page of tips (June). Although the tips are practical, it’s not the same. Please keep the regular feature. — CONNIE EPP, Winnipeg

ASHLIE THOMAS Gardener, “Summer’s Bounty” (page 34) Working in scientific research by day and educating her followers on cultivating veggies by night, Ashlie is a passionate home gardener. Small garden necessity? A waterproof storage rack. Best tip for gardening small? Keep it simple and stick with the techniques and tools that work for you. This will not only save you space but also ensure a tranquil gardening experience.
COLIN WAY Photographer, “Show Stopper” (page 46) and “Choose a Hero Material” (page 70) The Calgary-raised shooter’s career has taken him to places such as Argentina, L.A. and Hawaii. Tightest space you’ve lived in? I lived in a 550-square-foot studio for a couple of years. It forced me to think about each piece of furniture and not to buy anything I didn’t need. Small space necessity? I’ve always wanted a Murphy bed — it would’ve been perfect in my old studio!

NAM DANG-MITCHELL Designer, “Choose a Hero Material” (page 70) House & Home’s 2018 Designer of the Year is known for interiors that strike a balance between classic and edgy. Hack for making a tight space feel bigger? Make the largest piece in the room, like a sofa or bookshelf, the same colour or tone as your walls. How do you beat clutter? I keep everything behind doors and neatly tucked in cabinets.

When Scott Smith grew tired of big city life and went looking for a slower pace, Nova Scotia’s vast beaches, rugged coastline and lush forests offered a natural escape. Soon after moving to the small seaside port of Lunenburg from Toronto in 2012, he opened Pentper, a slow living shop that also functions as a gallery and creative studio. “I’ve been a minimalist ever since I learned about it in art school,” says Scott. “It’s permeated everything in my life.” Last October, Pentper moved to a handsome new location in the town’s historical Burns Block building. Lining the store’s panelled walls are wares that are carefully curated and quite Canadian, too. Scott regularly features works by Canadian artists, which are displayed next to neatly folded wool blankets by Blacksaw and furniture by local designer Steve Wallin. Global offerings include Swedish household brushes and dustpans from Iris Hantverk, Japanese tea accessories, and notebooks and pads from Calepino that are handmade in France. Scott selects each item with love and longevity in mind, and he’s made sure to clear some counter space for his latest collaboration: a minimalist ceramic tabletop trio with Jaw Pottery. Sometimes, less really is more.

Chinni, and chef and former catering company owner Vanessa Yusuf WHERE: Fique + Clay creations are designed in Toronto and handcrafted in Colombia CONNECT: fiqueandclay.com, @fiqueandclay THE SCOOP: Fique, a natural fibre hailing from Colombia’s fique plant, was long used to make coffee bags and potato sacks. “It’s a forgotten product!” says Vanessa. “We turned it into something modern and useful,” adds Sandra. Fique placemats, baskets and rugs are all handmade by artisans in the Andean town of Curití. Makers in Medellín, meanwhile, craft local clay into big-tummied pitchers, mugs and tableware. Then, everything is shipped to Toronto and sold through Fique + Clay or retail partners. MEET CUTE: Sandra was born in Bucaramanga, and originally began importing artisanal ceramics to Toronto from her native country when she opened her own
store. Vanessa was a frequent customer who soon became a close friend. A trip to Expoartesanias, a design show in Bogota, inspired their new venture. When they discovered fique there, Sandra says, “it was love at first sight.” MADE IN THE SHADE: “People assume that everything in Latin America is about bright, saturated colours,” says Sandra, “but I like showing another side of the Latin American aesthetic that’s more like the white and terracotta stucco houses in Cartagena.” The tenderest shade of guava, which makes its way into placemats and pitchers, was inspired by the rocks, sand and minerals of Colombian topography. “I see everything with a washed filter,” says Sandra. BIG BREAK: Fique + Clay launched at the NY Now trade show in August 2019, where Eataly’s buyer immediately bought the line for five of the chain’s North American locations. This June, Goop also snapped up a selection for its outpost in Sag Harbor, N.Y.

When it comes to statement lighting, size doesn’t always matter. Petite pendants, hung alone or clustered, speak volumes when they combine an eye-catching shape with on-trend colour. Just under six inches in diameter and only six inches high, the Kaiser Idell 6722-P pendant by Christian Dell for Fritz Hansen is a perfectly scaled-down version of an iconic Bauhaus design. It debuts in of-the-moment Russet Red and Soft Ochre, as well as Smooth Slate and high-gloss Black.

I love how Grade New York has played with heights and materials in the placement of these two sculptures. The interplay of colour and plaster on Annie Morris’s Black Pigment, Stack 10, Cobalt Blue (2017) (foreground) versus the grandeur of bronze in Rebecca Warren’s Fascia IV (2010) (background) makes for a visually interesting contrast.

SCULPTURE ON A PLINTH OR AS A PILLAR
Stacking Studies (2011) by Douglas Coupland.
TAKING SHAPE Diana Hamm’s guide to bringing sculpture home.
WHEN PEOPLE FIRST START BUYING ART, it’s generally out of need, and a new house with empty walls often tops that list. As such, most first-time buyers start with paintings, photographs and works on paper; basically, things to fill the walls. While this makes complete sense, I think sculpture is an oft overlooked medium on the domestic scale. While sculpture can be overwhelming in both price and size, it’s not always the case, and the right sculpture has the power to totally transform a room. Because you can appreciate it from 360 degrees, it works well in all sorts of places, often in spaces where a painting wouldn’t. Read on to discover my favourite types of sculpture and some fantastic Canadian artists working in this realm. 30 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020
A formal way to display sculpture is on a plinth. This adds height and grandeur, and can be used for all sorts of objects. Sculpture that acts as a pillar (in that it’s tall and narrow), is a clever way of adding art to the home. I love the idea of dedicating a space to this sort of work, as it adds a seriousness, no matter how playful the art is. A corner, an empty window bay or a location dividing two spaces are perfect spots for this kind of sculpture. Take Douglas Coupland’s work, which explores notions of pop culture and society. He looks at consumerism, the environment and what these things mean to us all. Stacking Studies (2011) are glossy plastic and steel structures that soar high and are painted candy colours. Nodding to our obsession with disposables, I like that his work explores these ideas rather than outright criticizes them. He seems to search for a solution together with us. Another Canadian artist creating in this medium is An Te Liu. Often working in bronze, An takes everyday objects (car parts, disco balls, Hello Kitty merchandise) and imagines what they’ll look like petrified, many generations from now. I love the way the work feels so grand, as his form is inspired by Henry Moore and Constantin Brâncuși, and yet the subject is both eerie and, somehow, funny. By adding different textures, heights, forms and subjects, this type of sculpture adds another element and layer to a home. It can be substantial or playful, filling a space that would otherwise be left bare to create a little bit of magic and wonder.

ARTIST FILE
Movement VII (2019) by Robin Cameron.
MOBILE SCULPTURE In the 1930s, Alexander Calder revolutionized sculpture by creating the mobile. The aspect of surprise and delight when encountering a mobile, particularly in a house, still holds interest today. The notion of suspending forms allows for movement between the objects, providing a calming and sometimes hypnotizing effect. Mobiles can be placed in an area such as a stairwell, the corner of a room or above a table or daybed for maximum drama. A young Canadian artist working in this medium whose pieces I love is Robin Cameron. She works in a range of materials, from brass to ceramic to video and printmaking. She made the work Movement VII (2019) for an exhibition at Toronto’s Susan Hobbs gallery in 2019. The exhibition was a dedication to the mobile, with the hopes that it would cause a shift in perception (specifically by looking upward). The very nature of the mobile requires the viewer to slow down and wait — to have an artwork in your house reminding you to slow down seems like the best idea yet!
Margot Klingender’s Mini-fleurs (series) (2019).
Kelly Bergin uses Simone Fattal’s ceramic sculpture (on books) to add colour and depth to the console. By mixing textures, material and form, the console becomes a focal point.
WHERE TO
SEE IT Margot Klingender has works available through Projet Pangée in Montreal; prices start at around $400. Trevor Baird also shows with Projet Pangée; prices start at $800.
Clements Design has placed an Alexander Calder mobile over a console topped with African masks. I love how light this makes the Calder feel, emphasizing its movement and grace.
SCULPTURE AS SMALL OBJECT The most accessible way to start with sculpture is to buy small pieces to be used as objects. Rather than buying mass-produced decorative accents, adding a small sculpture on a tabletop or bookshelf can really pack a punch. Montreal-based Margot Klingender’s work, for example, would be a great addition in this format. Her spunky sculptures look like doodles formed in 2D, which relate back to her formal training in painting and drawing. She uses strong, masculine materials such as bronze and leather and mixes them with more feminine subjects and wobbly lines, which hints at a naiveté in her work and creates a duality that’s really interesting. Another Montreal-based artist creating wonderful small sculptures is Trevor Baird. I love the vessel shapes relating to historical vases, but it’s really the designs on the objects that are steeped in zine culture that keep me gripped. Trevor draws on cultural references and is inspired by daily images. His ceramics are continuations of the zines he’s produced, but the process is reversed; he allows the images to be “open” rather than have a sense of finality when a book is closed. They’re beautiful and intelligent pieces.
Robin Cameron sells art through her NYC studio while she’s working toward her show at Franz Kaka in Toronto. Her mobiles start at $2,500. Douglas Coupland is represented by Daniel Faria Gallery in Toronto; sculptures from this series are priced at $12,000 each. An Te Liu has shown with Galerie Division in Montreal; prices start at $5,000.

32 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020
Q&A HOUSE & HOME: What are your tips for getting big style on a budget? JUSTINA BLAKENEY: The first place I look is at vintage shops; it’s often more affordable than buying things new. Old stuff has soul: something preloved or made by hand adds character, but there are lots of ways to create an upscale, custom look for less. I recently bought a rattan console with wood drawers at Target for about $120. I painted the drawer fronts a beautiful green and changed the pulls. It took less than an hour and, all of the sudden, I had a custom piece that was affordable. Put your own spin on something from a big-box store. You can reupholster a chair seat in SEE SHOPPING LIST

When design disrupter Justina Blakeney launched her blog, Jungalow, in 2009, little did she know that she’d be paving the way for today’s obsession with maximalist style (cue the colour! Pattern! Plants!). The L.A. blogger and author of The New Bohemians is frank about the fact that she isn’t a trained designer, but that hasn’t stopped her from building a lifestyle brand, Justina Blakeney Home, and a sizable following. The exuberant pillows, pottery, wallpaper, rugs, lighting, bedding and palmsplashed Band-Aids she sells on her site have also spawned collaborations with major retailers such as Pottery Barn, Target and Anthropologie. From the early days in Italy upcycling vintage T-shirts with her sister, Justina’s habit of flouting convention has worked for her both personally and professionally. Since launching Jungalow, she’s followed the path of creativity, coming full circle from studying art, to crafting, then writing books, to drawing her own prints. Making homewares fun and accessible (she’s big on thrifting and DIYs) is at the heart of her resourceful — and joyful — approach.

a piece of vintage fabric or a gorgeous remnant, and it completely changes into the eclecticism you see now in high-end decorating. H&H: Where should we go to find great vintage pieces? JB: I get most of my online vintage items from Etsy and I always check eBay because, many times, they share the same vendors, and they’re more affordable than 1stdibs or Chairish. One of my secrets is the International section. Years ago, I fell in love with suzani textiles, and they can be $350 and up in the U.S. But if you shop from Uzbekistan or Afghanistan, where those textiles are made, you can buy them for $50 to $60, and they often offer free shipping. I also search for alternate spellings and figure out what it’s called in the country of origin, because it may have a different name in the U.S. Searching different languages delivers different results.
H&H: What’s the easiest, cheapest way to refresh a space? JB: There are many things that bring joy that cost a lot or are not accessible right now — like travelling or certain kinds of foods — but colour is a perfect way to bring joy into your home, and everyone can do it. H&H: We’ve heard you converted your garage into a 300-square-foot casita… JB: Yes! Our house is small, about 1,050 square feet, and even though it’s just my husband, Jason, and my daughter, Ida, we thank God for the casita every day! The garage was built in 1926, and it was always too small for two cars. After living here for three years, we decided to knock out the wall, install French doors and block off a door for the bookshelves. Now it’s my home office, gym, music studio and laundry room. We use it in so many different ways, especially when it’s important to have some alone time. I’ll say, “I’m going to the casita for an hour; don’t bother me!”

Fresh ideas for what to do this month. By WENDY JACOB
Preservation Society If staying home this spring meant you had more time and love to give your veggie beds, you’ll reap the rewards by canning. Popular garden blogger Ashlie Thomas of @the.mocha.gardener grows a variety of fruits and vegetables in her North Carolina garden and takes a creative approach to preserves. “My favourite part of canning is selecting the vegetables, herbs and seasonings to blend together,” she says. We asked her to share her best tips for perfect pickling.
SEED
MONEY
Sharing seeds with your neighbours helps save the planet and stretches your food budget. In his new book, Saving Seeds: A Home Gardener’s Guide to Preserving Plant Biodiversity, Dan Jason of Salt Spring Seeds in B.C. offers these tips and more. Harbour Publishing, 2020, $15. 1. Harvest seeds when
they’re mature and dry on the plants. 2. Pluck, shake or rub seeds into a bucket or bag. 3. Place seeds on trays or screens in a warm sunny spot for a few days so bugs can flee and seeds can dry. Separate seeds from the chaff. 4. Use airtight labelled containers to store seeds in a cool, dark place. 34 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020
Mushrooms grow quickly and easily, so they’re a fun project for kids.
A stainless steel mesh top makes soaking, rinsing and draining seeds simple.
GROW-OP Christopher Wong runs Young Urban Farmers in Toronto and offers two easy “grow-your-own” products through fungaea.com. The Shroom Box (left, top) can produce a crop of oyster mushrooms in 7 to 10 days. Or, top avo toast with sprouts grown in a reusable Organic Sprout Kit (left, bottom), which can produce five different sprout varieties, including adzuki, mung and crimson lentils in about week.
COOL TOOL
THE HOLE TRUTH Digging holes for planting fall bulbs is a dirty job, but a plant auger makes quick work of it. This tool bit fits on standard drills — a cordless 18v is recommended to make it easy to manoeuvre around the garden (and it’s perfect for planting seedlings, too). Steel auger, $49.

FROM TOP LEFT, CLOCKWISE: Collard greens, pickles, asparagus, pasta sauce, mustard greens, squash, okra, and turnip roots and beets.
• Select fresh, unblemished produce and thoroughly clean it. • Use distilled white or cider vinegar with five per cent acidity. • Use pickling salt; the texture of vegetables is altered by iodized salt. • Add fresh herbs to enhance flavours. Ashlie likes pairing Aristotle oregano and marjoram with mustard and collard greens, thyme and oregano with asparagus, parsley and thyme with squash, and rosemary and chives with okra.

RENTAL STYLE: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO DECORATING YOUR APARTMENT OR SMALL HOME By Chelsey Brown Chelsey Brown, the designer behind citychicdecor.com, specializes in revamping rentals. Breaking decorating down room by room, she shares wisdom about rental myths, what to invest in and removable products. Skyhorse Publishing, 2020, $34. 44 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020
With his second book, blogger and designer Mark D. Sikes explores well-loved decorating categories (country, coastal, Mediterranean) with an eye to classic style. A chapter dedicated to Mark’s own Hollywood Hills home is an homage to all of his design signatures, including Italian wicker, a blue and white palette and Anglo-Indian antiques. Rizzoli, 2020, $60. H&H: You’ve overhauled your own home three times in 10 years. Where’s a great place to start — without a major renovation? MDS: It’s all about function and how rooms change over the years. Keep rooms flexible; our dining table is on casters in case we need to move it for yoga. We also added shelving for books and wicker furniture for a casual feel in our formal living room, which we hadn’t been using much. We had all these books and wanted to read more. H&H: You love blue and white; how do you make sure you don’t tire of a favourite colour? MDS: It’s about the range of blues that gives rooms dimension and depth. Also, varying scales of patterns mixed together always adds interest. H&H: Do you have any tips for readers living in small homes? MDS: I love corner banquettes because you can easily incorporate a dining table or desk into a smaller room. Bookcases are great for getting things off the floor and adding structure, and small chairs are always fabulous.
THE LITTLE BOOK OF LIVING SMALL By Laura Fenton Twelve owners (including families of four) share secrets for living in their hip yet attainable homes, all of which are less than 1,200 square feet. Chapters target topics such as working from home, renovating and what to do when spaces feel cramped. Gibbs-Smith, 2020, $36.

urtis Elmy and Trevor Ciona of Atmosphere Interior Design on creating a unique kitchen that stands the test of time. HOUSE & HOME: What do you need to keep in mind when designing a showhome kitchen? CURTIS ELMY: A showhome needs to be both one of a kind and relatable; people have to be able to imagine themselves living here. We chose this paint colour because everyone loves grey. In a new-build, we use elements that look like they’ve been curated over a period of time, and we incorporate details that are hard to replicate like the custom range hood. SEE SOURCE GUIDE
H&H: Did the new owners request any changes? TREVOR CIONA: Our clients moved here from Ottawa and said this house made them feel immediately at home because it was so detailed. They kept the kitchen exactly the way we designed it. We mixed metals, which gives the space more longevity — they won’t tire of things as quickly. H&H: That full-height marble backsplash is so striking; why did you choose it? CE: It’s hard to make kitchens look distinctive; you have to ask yourself, is it going to be about the cabinets or the stone? Once we saw the Calacatta Cielo marble, there was no turning back.
Curtis Elmy (left) and Trevor Ciona of Atmosphere Interior Design.
It’s a big-ticket item, but it’s what makes the kitchen truly unique. Because it’s a busier stone, we toned down everything else around it. There’s also a bit of gold in it that ties in with the warm tone of the cabinets. H&H: What advice would you give to someone who wanted a similar look in their own kitchen? TC: Don’t be afraid to paint things a bold colour. People worry about kitchens being too dark, and even though there’s no white in this kitchen, it still has a light, airy feel because of how the light reflects off the different finishes like the polished marble backsplash and brass lighting. You don’t always have to do light colours. H&H SEPTEMBER 2020 47

When space is precious, details are everything. A well-positioned shelf can be the perfect place to play.

I magine having to distinguish between what you think you need and what is truly essential on a daily basis. That’s how Alison Mazurek of 600sqft.com navigates living small with a family of four. Yes, she sometimes dons headphones for peace and quiet or has a time-out on the balcony, but her 600-square-foot Mount Pleasant home — with its high ceilings and close proximity to cool restaurants and shops — is perfect in every other way. Even when she and her husband, Trevor, had their

children, Theo and Mae (now 7 and 4 respectively), they stayed. She’s now turned her living situation into a resource for those living in compact spaces, not just by necessity but by choice. “Many Vancouverites can’t afford a traditional home anymore,” says Alison. “This is our reality — we’re all living in apartments or creative small-living situations — so how are we going to do it comfortably and sustainably?” Here are Alison’s tips for doing it right, and making it look good, too.
Embrace the wall bed “This Italian wall bed, where Trevor and I sleep, was an investment, but it’s allowed us to stay in our one-bedroom home. The matte lacquer finish blends nicely with the kitchen cabinets. We got it when Theo was four months old; he would sit in his mini crib in the living room, and we’d be in the bedroom, whispering in the dark, ‘This isn’t working anymore….’ So we made the bedroom a kids room, put the wall bed where the dining area traditionally would be and removed the island.” Wall bed, Resource Furniture.

WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST SANITY-SAVER?
WHAT’S ONE SURPRISING THING YOU’VE DISCOVERED?
WHAT’S THE TOUGHEST THING ABOUT PARENTING IN A SMALL SPACE?
My plants. We have a small patio, and I’ve been building plants up the wall, doing some container gardening and learning about what plants can live on our patio in the shade. That’s been providing a lot of entertainment and calm, and the kids help me garden.
There can be some guilt associated with living small. I wish my kids had a desk, but I rationalize that they can use our dining table, or a shallow seveninch Ikea shelf instead. I can give them what they need, but not in the traditional sense.
Getting alone time is really hard. I’ve tried many different things; once, I locked myself out on the patio with a glass of wine. We only have one bathroom that’s in use all the time, so it’s impossible to hide there. I’ve tried the kids’ bunk beds, too, but they find me! H&H SEPTEMBER 2020 53
Ditch the TV
You need a custom pantry. Period. “Our old pantry was a similar size, but everything was always falling over and it was dark. We knew pullout shelves would make it really functional. Our ceilings are nine and a half feet high, but the cabinets are a traditional height, so there was unused space on top of the pantry and closet. We added another two feet to store seasonal items or additional pantry supplies.”
Alison with Theo, Mae and her husband, Trevor.
Small spaces need big sofas “It’s important to me to have friends over, so we picked a modular sofa that can move around to change our space. There are no arms, so guests can perch on the ends, and we use the ottomans for extra seating.” 54 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020

“If the TV is on, the noise fills the entire space. We use laptops and iPads, and pull out a projector on movie nights. I had a 15-inchdeep console made that holds all our tech and cables. At the end of the day, everything goes back in the console so there’s no visual reminder of work during family time.”
Alison’s Everyday Essentials Don’t binge on bins “Tidying is part of living with kids, even if you live in a big space. A small space is quick to clean up, but it’s also easy to get cluttered. Everything here has a dedicated spot. I used to own way too many cotton bins, and the kids would dump everything out because they didn’t remember what was in them. Now, they have a bin each under their beds and a shelving unit so they can see their toys or display a favourite art project.”
Luxury Bedding “Last Light is a femaleowned company that makes beautiful linens. When you have to fold your bed away, at least fancy bedding makes it feel like a hotel.”
Something Scented “To make a small space smell nice, you only need one scented candle — I love Homecoming Candles — or a Vitruvi diffuser.”
The kids’ bunk beds fold up into the wall, giving them a play area Japanese Towels “I only have four towels in the whole house. Kontex towels are thin and quick to dry but still feel soft and luxurious.”
Sustainable Clothing “I buy good-quality, sustainable clothing like childrenswear from Petits Vilains — and no impulse buys. We stick to capsule wardrobes and the ‘one in, one out’ rule.” H&H SEPTEMBER 2020 55

AKING THE GUTSY DECISION to open up your entire main floor takes time — no matter how small it is. For Matthew and Caroline Watson, it took more than a decade of living in their Leaside, Toronto, home before they were ready to break up with its closed-off layout. Adding two kids, Stella, 9, and Gavin, 7, to the picture also put things into perspective. They found Orsi Panos on Instagram. While they admired the designer’s modern yet livable style, it was her space-planning chops that really won the Watsons over. “The beginning was a bit like dating,” says Orsi. “We asked each other lots of questions, and we listened.” Going steady proved fruitful. With total trust established, they eliminated or shortened walls for optimal light flow, and enlarged a door and window to capitalize on coveted southfacing sunlight. Expanding the former galley kitchen into the dining room ensured plenty of room for an island, pantry and

built-in banquette. “I wanted to dispel the myth that you can’t entertain in a small place,” says Orsi. In the postage stamp–size entry, the stair landing was turned to allow for a larger closet and a slender iron railing replaced its imposing wooden predecessor. Practical decisions can have a pretty payoff, too. Instead of a solid base, the full-size living room sofa has airy metal legs, and the quartzite fireplace surround is bookended with a photograph by Slim Aarons on one side and a tall cabinet on the other, giving the illusion of symmetry without looking matchy-matchy. “Hanging the art at the same height as the cabinet creates a pleasing horizontal sight line,” says Orsi. Having a carefully thought-out space plan was an important focus for the designer as she worked with limited elbow room, and the family of four couldn’t be happier. “Our house is so open and inviting now,” says Caroline. “The only time I feel like we live in a small space is when our kids are running around with their friends.” SEE SOURCE GUIDE

OES IT SAY ‘WOW’ YET?” Self-proclaimed colourist Cynthia Ferguson often wondered this while she was designing the vibrant home she shares with husband Tim De Groot. The principal designer, who has two grown sons, waited years to renovate and redecorate her circa-1930 home in North Toronto, so missing the opportunity to go all-out just wasn’t an option. “To be a true maximalist, you’re not trying to match patterns or colours,” says Cynthia. “You’re setting out with no rules other than more is more.” The bland-averse designer puts her money where her paintbrush is, using splashy colours such as jet blue and cherry red throughout her 1,100-square-foot home. (Cynthia also had built-ins sprayed in Sherwin-Williams’ Pickle while the family was away.) The only line she didn’t cross was in the

kitchen. “When my painter asked me what colour we were doing in the kitchen and I replied, ‘Oxford White,’ he didn’t believe me,” she says with a laugh. “Changing up your kitchen down the road isn’t so easy!” Katie Ridder, a New York designer with an enviable knack for combining colours and patterns, was a major source of inspiration. One of her home office designs, which had walls lacquered in red, made a particularly lasting impression on Cynthia. “I decided to paint my foyer a similar colour and upholster the ceiling in a paisley Peter Dunham fabric I’ve loved for a long time,” she says of the three- by three-foot space. Pushing decorating boundaries while appeasing clients is a challenge most designers face. “Brighter colour palettes are a harder sell in Toronto,” says Cynthia. Covering walls in lively wallpapers can also take some convincing (Cynthia admits even she wouldn’t go near wallpaper a decade ago). But when you’re decorating your own space, the sky’s the limit. “Now my eldest son teases me that if he stood still long enough, I might wallpaper him, too!”

Determination is part of Clare’s decorating DNA. “My coworkers call me ‘the FBI of interior design,’ ” she jokes. “If something exists, you can count on me to find it.” Sleuthing out the best flourishes paid off big time in her petite abode, whether it’s the remnant of a discontinued Kelly Wearstler fabric that Clare unearthed on eBay in the U.K. and transformed into a bolster pillow for her bedroom, or the wallpaper in a custom colourway that

she dreamt up for her narrow hallway. “Never compromise your design because something isn’t as convenient to source or isn’t as readily available,” says Clare. “When you need to move mountains to get your hands on that last critical piece, it makes for a great story.” Nothing tells more of a story than the couple’s ninefoot-high gallery wall, which adds visual oomph without imposing on a single inch of floor space. “The scheme for our whole apartment started with that,” says Clare of the impressive display. “Every time Lucas and I move, I tell myself that I won’t do another gallery wall, but I have a large collection of art and each piece brings me joy, so it’s inevitable.” The art ranges from paintings by the designer’s nana to a piece her brother trekked home from North Korea. A monochromatic scheme ensures the gallery wall — and the entire condo, for that matter — will look chic for years to come. Unless Clare decides to take things in a different direction, of course.

OR CALGARY DESIGNER Nam Dang-Mitchell, the chance to put her mark on an apartment in the city’s historical Bannerman Block building was impossible to pass up. “I was able to indulge in ideas I’ve wanted to bring to life for some time,” says Nam of the project that Certus Developments, her husband James Mitchell’s company, undertook. A minimalist kitchen with an emphasis on a single killer material — silver limestone with bluegrey veining — was one such idea. “That limestone was my design nucleus; everything else revolved around it,” says Nam, who’s known for her classic yet edgy interiors.

Faucet, Delta; sconces by Thomas O’Brien, Visual Comfort; mirror, Gubi; flooring, Stone Tile.
Covering virtually every hard surface in the kitchen and bathroom in the same stone creates a cohesive look, and every inch of the slabs has been used. The limestone on the six and a half- by two-foot kitchen island, which discreetly houses a sink, and dishwasher and microwave drawers, has a waterfall style and was mitred on all corners to give the illusion of it being a solid block of stone. For symmetry, Nam flanked the range with a panelled refrigerator on one side and a built-in cabinet on the other. “I didn’t want to squish the entire kitchen to one side, like you’d see in a typical apartment layout,” she says. “By adding 74 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020
the cabinet above the doorway, I was able to balance both sides of the kitchen and centre the island and range.” Nam also had to get creative when she encountered a roadblock needing a design workaround: an imposing loadbearing column that juts awkwardly into the living room. The solution? Building custom banquettes topped with cushions on either side of the support pillar. These sofa stand-ins are deep enough to double as guest beds when the back cushions are removed, leading Nam to observe: “Sometimes, embracing the flaws in a space results in the best solutions.” SEE SOURCE GUIDE

Like many busy professionals, no matter how much Toronto real-estate broker Justine Deluce thrived on her work and the frenetic pace of city life, at the end of the day, all she really wanted was to get away from it all. She was looking for peace. And although she often sought it at the yoga studio or hiking in the desert while on holiday, in 2017, she finally found her oasis seven floors up in the building she’d already been living in for nine years. She couldn’t help but fall for the 2,370-square-foot, three-bedroom penthouse apartment’s soaring 12-foot-high ceilings, the added space, and the idea that she didn’t have to leave the chic midtown Toronto neighbourhood she loved. But it was the breathtaking views from the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline that really clinched it. “I wanted an apartment that felt calm and serene, a place where I could exhale,” says Justine. “That’s what home means to me — a place of refuge. But I didn’t want it to be beige. I love interiors that take unexpected turns, be it H&H SEPTEMBER 2020 77

wallpaper or a hit of colour that doesn’t necessarily make sense — an unanticipated palette. I wanted it to be joyful!” So, for help, she turned to Toronto designer Anne Hepfer, a close friend who shared her mindset and relaxed approach to risk. Initially, the idea was just to replace the apartment’s dark floors, paint the walls and move in. “But once you start ripping things out,” says Anne, flashing the smile of someone who would happily wield a sledgehammer, “you get to a point where it all has to go!” The down-to-the-studs renovation took more than a year to complete, but the result is a reconfigured floor plan custom designed to suit Justine’s lifestyle. One of the three bedrooms was transformed into a cosy library-den that can also be used as a dining room, and an ensuite bathroom was converted into a luxurious walk-in closet that now opens onto the principal bedroom. Anne also created an open-concept kitchen that serves as the multifunctional, ever-evolving hub of this home. “In real estate, you tend to work around the clock,” says Justine, sitting with her laptop at the kitchen table that she and Anne originally envisioned as a workspace and informal dining area. When the coronavirus turned the world upside down, Justine simply parked an exercise bike and

some weights by the window and, just like that, the kitchen also became a gym with a spectacular view. The decorating was an equally organic process. “Through my work, I’ve been exposed to many different styles, from super modern and contemporary to chintzy and very traditional,” says Justine. “I wanted this to be a merger of those. I’m not sure what style it is, but it’s my style.” An intrepid colourist, Anne used bold strokes of saturated hues and graphic patterns throughout the apartment to create spaces that, contrary to what one might expect, still read as calm.

the living room — seems like the kind of visual curveball that would quicken pulses rather than allay stress, but, says Justine, “there’s a serenity to it. I can look at it for hours.” Like many of us, Justine has adapted her idea of what makes a home a haven. “I’ve never spent so much time at home before,” she says. “I was somebody who got a lot of energy from moving around in the world during the course of my day. Now, we need to find solace within the four walls of our homes. A couple of weeks into the pandemic, I called Anne to say how lucky we were to have created this space, and how lucky I am to live in it.” H&H SEPTEMBER 2020 83

MOVING IS USUALLY SUCH A DRAG — the packing, hauling and schlepping across town. But when Mike Lickver and Robyn Rabinovich relocated to their dream digs, the process was terrifically painless. It helped, of course, that they only had to walk next door. The couple, who met while working in the cannabis industry (he’s an executive in the field; she’s a consultant), were living in Robyn’s small condo in Toronto’s leafy Forest Hill neighbourhood, along with their two Pomeranians, Hawk and Dragon. “We didn’t even have a kitchen table,” says Mike. “We ate standing up, or on the couch.” Craving a larger house, they scanned hundreds of listings before Mike’s cousin sent a real contender: a contemporary home with super-high ceilings, loft-like black window frames and a magnificent exterior of glass and limestone. The edgy design and entertainingfriendly floor plan immediately appealed to the social couple. “I looked at my phone and said, ‘No, it can’t be; this is fate,’ ” says Mike. It turned out the house was on the lot directly beside Robyn’s condo, where Mike used to park his car during their early dating days. “As our relationship blossomed, so did this house — and I never paid it a ton of mind,” he says. Designed by Ancerl Studio’s Nicholas Ancerl and Tara Finlay, the 2,800-square-foot new-build was almost finished when Mike and Robyn bought it. “This was a unique situation,” says Tara of the three-year design-build project. “When we started the house, there wasn’t a client yet.” The home’s well-appointed interior is perfectly in sync with the striking exterior. “We kept the finishes neutral with white oak floors, Calacatta marble and limestone that all quietly complement one another,” says Tara. “We also incorporated other natural materials such as concrete, cold-rolled black steel and reclaimed wood for texture and interest. Hits of black keep it feeling young.” Ancerl Studio’s signature high ceilings are also on display. “We love the dramatic effect,”

says Nicholas. The dining room ceiling, for instance, soars 20 feet and meets a double-height glass wall with greenery beyond. The effect is a total-space experience that Nicholas attributes to a “cubic approach,” as he calls it. “I like to think in 3D rather than 2D. It’s about how you enjoy the space, views and sight lines.” We want rooms to be used, he adds, not to gather dust. So instead of a traditional living room (“it’s a dying breed,” says Nicholas) there’s a scotch room — a laidback lounge with comfy velvet armchairs that happens to be Mike and Robyn’s favourite place to hang out. As for those sight lines, from the first step into this house, they’re superlative. Greeting you is a floating fireplace with a seven-foot-long open flame that acts as a divider to the rooms beyond. “When you walk in, we wanted it to be a wow moment,” says Tara. (It turns on with a remote control that Robyn stashes away from her young nieces and nephews.)

But for all the design derring-do, it’s a practical home, too. “The kitchen is unbelievable,” says Mike of the roomy space that features double wall ovens. “Before quarantine, we flexed the muscle on that kitchen — it’s designed for hosting, and we did a ton of that.” In fact, the couple was in the house a mere 48 hours before they threw a bash for Mike’s 35th birthday. More than 100 people milled about with champagne and canapés. “It was lovely to see people discover the space,” says Robyn. “It’s so comfortable and beautiful.” How fitting that their new home seemed to be waiting for them all along, just a hop, skip and a jump away. 92 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020

DR. PAULA MEYLER is no stranger to gruelling 24-hour shifts. When she’s finally home, the Vancouver anesthesiologist goes straight to her cosy bedroom, crawls into bed, draws up the indigo sheets and looks at her travel photos on the wall. “You can get very focused in medicine and forget that there’s a whole world out there,” says Paula, who lives in a 1,600-square-foot condo in Gastown. “I’m so thankful to have invested in myself and my home; it’s a place where I can relax and unwind after the chaos of the hospital. You can’t put a price on that.” After renting the condo for three years, Paula bought it from her landlord — she loved its wraparound gardens and terraces, especially the private

She asked her friend Ben Leavitt of Vancouver design studio PlaidFox to make the interior feel equally tranquil. “Paula, like so many, had filled her home with things to live with, rather than things to love,” says Ben, who oversaw the complete renovation of the condo in 2019. “Since the reno, she refuses to look at the before images and jokingly admits the home was previously a treasure trove of what not to do in design!” A former ballet dancer, Paula loves dance, travel and photography, and her home needed to match her intrepid personality. “She wanted it to be bright and calming — very minimal with not a lot of colour,” says Ben. “But because she spends her whole day in a hospital, I didn’t want it 96 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020

to be clinical.” He made sure to add art that Paula had created herself to bring warmth to the home. “Ben pushed me to incorporate my photographs into the design, to bring that part of me out,” she says. Details such as new arched doorways and handmade Moroccan tiles on the walls reflect Paula’s travels and her time working as a volunteer doctor abroad. The entry, for instance, features a photo of a train station Paula took in Sri Lanka. Throughout, Ben brought in accents from Etsy artisans who live around the world. Closer to home, an antique Buddha statue from Vancouver’s Chinatown sits (unexpectedly) on the kitchen counter.

In the dining room, new white oak flooring complements the custom concrete table and sleek Gubi chairs. “This house is influenced by Morocco and India, but mixing in modern pieces keeps it from feeling too theme-y,” says Ben. Dramatic colour-blocked drapery conceals oddsized windows and makes the room feel more intimate. The lighting was a revelation to Paula (one of her favourite fixtures is the boat-shaped Kelly Wearstler chandelier over the dining table). “Pre-renovation, I thought lighting was just a functional thing, but each fixture is a piece of art on its own,” she says. Matte black and gold finishes bring cohesiveness to the eclectic choices. Renovating her condo with Ben introduced Paula to a new world. She went from knowing nothing about design to obsessively buying books and exploring design museums. “I have a background in art through ballet, but learning about architecture and design has opened up another way for art to be in my life,” she says. “There’s so much talent, beauty and craftsmanship in the world that I wasn’t paying attention to.” The doctor is now most definitely in.

I grew up in a house where food was the language of love, and where the preparation and presentation of meals was the lifeblood of family connection. So, naturally, my most enduring memories of childhood are in the kitchen. The taste of a slice of roast beef straight from the oven with crackling bathed in mustard and rosemary is as associated with family celebration as candles on a cake. My mother, Lucy Waverman, is the third generation in a family that has made food the centre of their professional lives, which, in turn, made it the heart of their personal ones, too. Her grandmother, Sophie Geneen, ran the only kosher hotel and restaurant in Glasgow, Scotland, and her mother, Pearl Geneen, owned the (much-missed) eclectic kitchen store The Compleat Kitchen in Yorkville, Toronto.

Some families have precious heirlooms or cottage properties that tie them together. Our family has a love of flavour. At our table, we talk about the flavour profiles of a hot sauce, or the complexity of a grass-fed steak.

RECIPE, PG. 108
BUFFALO MOZZARELLA AND PICKLED FENNEL One of the reasons restaurant food always tastes better is the use of salt. Learn from chefs and use salt as an ingredient, and to finish a dish. A quick pickling of the fennel makes for a salty note that tones down its licorice taste. If you can find a fresh burrata, it’s a more than worthy substitute for mozzarella.

CARROT, GINGER AND CORIANDER SOUP This soup is a base for reinterpretation — just keep the natural sweetness of the carrot and riff on it. You can add cream to make it richer, other root vegetables such as parsnips or rutabaga, or even toss in an apple or pear for more sweetness. H&H SEPTEMBER 2020 103

ARGENTINIAN SHORT RIBS My mom and I will always choose a braise over any other dish. The long and slow method brings out the earthy taste of meat and aromatics in a way that everyone loves.

Argentinian or British short ribs are on the long bone, not divided into sections as other short ribs are. Ask for long-bone when buying.

UMAMI APPLE PIE Umami is the fifth taste on your tongue after sweet, salty, sour and bitter. Its savouriness fills your mouth and lingers on. Chefs chase umami with a variety of ingredients — old cheese, anchovies, cooked tomatoes, fish sauce, etc. A wellknown secret is that neither my mom nor I are good at fancy pastry creations. But that doesn’t matter at our family table. A good old-fashioned pie crust with the surprising addition of cheddar cheese makes this pie an awardwinner for its umami flavour. 104 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020

ON SALE SEPTEMBER 7
A TASTE OF HOME
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 102 In a way, she’s still chasing that perfect balance that’s frozen in her memory, like many home cooks. We are all burdened with that weight, knowing it’s impossible to recreate a memory’s favourite dish. That said, the lessons we learned in our family’s kitchens have infused themselves into the way we season and approach our cooking, and the foods we love to eat. In our family, we want full flavour in everything we serve. But that doesn’t mean we’re always looking to the spice rack. Sometimes it’s a cooking method, like a braise that coaxes out the rich, earthy flavours we love. Sometimes, it’s including an unexpected ingredient in a dish, like adding cheddar cheese to an apple pie crust that boosts the umami of the dessert, or creating a quick pickle so we get texture and flavour. This is not to say that every dish we create is complicated and fussy. We love a simple soup that recalls the warm flavours of an autumn day or an oozy fresh cheese accompanied by salty and bitter vegetables. When we’re planning meals, we often approach it flavour first. What flavour do we feel like eating? Something earthy and comforting? Or something naturally sweet or spicy to shock us into the moment? All food has a flavour profile at its core, such as sweet, earthy, salty or spicy. It sounds simple, but defining a dish by its central flavour can help focus the dish and help find the right balance of accompaniments. Our menu hits on all our favourite autumn tastes, using recipes from the bestselling cookbook The Flavour Principle by Lucy Waverman and Beppi Crosariol. Fall is our favourite season for cooking and eating because we can enjoy the bounty of our local harvests and the sweet, salty, earthy and umami flavours of the cooler season. 116 H&H SEPTEMBER 2020

Q
With my husband and I home full time due to COVID-19, we’ve found it a challenge to work in the same room. I’d like to move my office to the back room and make it a place I look forward to spending time in. How should I set it up?

This room has great space and, thanks to two windows, lots of natural light. I would start by painting the walls white to take advantage of the light. I recommend Benjamin Moore’s Cloud White or Chantilly Lace in a matte finish. To add visual interest and a pop of colour, wallpaper the wall you see upon entering the room in a bright and cheerful wallpaper like Farrow & Ball’s Wisteria. Next, head to your local big-box store for in-stock base cabinets and storage for files. Run them down the long wall and, if you’re ready to splurge, top the cabinets with a luxe, solid-surface material. Or, for a more budget-friendly option, try laminate. Place a large table in the centre of the room; run it lengthwise in the same direction as the cabinet wall. This will
give you lots of room for your laptops and monitor. Add a rug underneath to warm up the space and provide some texture. How about a fun plaid? Don’t be afraid to mix your patterns! Consider carpet tiles: they’re a clever way to build a custom-size rug. I love the classic ’60s Eames office chair in leather and, today, you can find great reproductions. For more seating and a touch of contrast, add a couple of clean-lined guest chairs in black. A simple white barn-style fixture will illuminate your desk, as well as the eyecatching wallpaper. Then, to finish the look, hang graphic black-framed art and pin boards above the run of cabinets. You’re going to love your beautifully decorated home office — and, look out, your husband may want to join you there, too! 1. Wisteria BP 2212 wallpaper, $295/roll. Through Farrow & Ball. 2.

DESIGN AFICIONADOS love Bauhaus for its marriage of fine arts and modernism. Today, the enduring influence of this 100-year-old design style — think geometric shapes, unadorned minimalism and colour blocking — is as apparent as ever. In fashion, Hermès’ ensemble is a work of art, showcasing primary colours and a flowing silhouette. Christian Louboutin’s colour-blocked heel — a nod to the paintings of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian — deserves a spot in your closet. For home, iconic pieces such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair and an Isamu Noguchi– inspired coffee table instantly deliver a modern aesthetic. Top your table with Magdalena Droste’s latest book to dive into those signature Bauhaus moves. For those who love bold, Bertazzoni’s sleek yellow range and Josef Albers’ eye-catching rug are sure to pack a visual punch. Bravo, Bauhaus!
