OUR READERS HAVE THEIR SAY. “Wow!” is all I can say about the “Hello, Reno!” story in the April issue. This style is right up my alley: affordable and beautiful. It’s so great to see a renovation that uses retailers where people with average budgets actually shop. More of this in the future, please! — MARY STRONG, Dundas, Ont. I absolutely love your April cover story (“In the Mix”)! Audrée Kemp Bélanger did a fabulous job designing the space to feel open and light, yet interesting to the eye. I fell in love the moment I saw those wood beams. — SANDRA BLUE, Barrie, Ont. I was amazed to see Karine Vanasse on the cover of April’s House & Home! For us Québécois, she’s a local pride and joy. The house is beautiful, and I’m not sure if it was the designer’s choosing or Karine’s, but the art throughout the home is just perfect. — DAVID AUSTEN, Montreal I adore House & Home and consider it a Canadian gem. I often reflect on how the backbone of the magazine is a team of strong and successful women. So, I was thrown off when reading the first line of the story “With Flying Colours” from the March issue: “Some women buy shoes; Kirsten Torokvei buys houses.” She sounds like a business baller, not a Stepford wife; this line seems to diminish her accomplishments. — MAGDA HOVJACKY, Ottawa I had high hopes for the April issue when I read Emma Reddington’s letter in View (“A New Approach”). Then, I saw the before picture on page 79 (“The Great Escape”). That historical wood panelling is irreplaceable, and now it’s gone. I would encourage you to be more thoughtful in the projects you feature. — JULIA PRESTON, Puslinch, Ont. 12 H&H JUNE 2022
The Artist File in your April issue (“Repainting History”) was such a fascinating read. I had never heard of Tammi Campbell before but was pleased to see she has such a sharp take on Modern works. Bravo! — ASHTON REY, Victoria Love your magazine! In the April issue, I was happy to read about the clever decisions made by homeowners who advocate that not everything needs to be ripped out during a renovation! This past year, we’ve renovated two ugly bathrooms and a 30-year-old deck. We tackled sanding the deck ourselves and repurposed antiques for the bathroom vanities. We saved money and almost nothing went to the landfill! — JOHANNE MAYRAND, Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Que.

WE ASKED THE TEAM H&H editors share their best decorating advice. You’ll find more great tips throughout this issue from savvy homeowners, industry pros and our favourite designers.
“Don’t underestimate the importance of lighting; it makes a huge difference to a room. I often start with the light fixture, buy the best I can afford, and see how the rest falls into place. In my former Toronto living room, I replaced the traditional chandelier with a Noguchi pendant, and it really set the tone for the whole space.”
“Photograph your room from all angles to choose your ‘money shot.’ Then, work on making that view fabulous! Sometimes, it just takes one dramatic gesture, like the floor-to-ceiling drapes in sapphire blue that I designed for this client’s room. Also, I can’t say enough about the importance of a fresh paint job to wake up a room.” — LYNDA REEVES
— EMMA REDDINGTON, West Coast Editor and Style Director
“Some things are worth the investment. I’m known as a budget-conscious designer (because I am), but there are areas where I never cut corners in a renovation — like the building envelope, flooring and my skilled trades. Penny-wise is pound-foolish when it comes to the bones of your home.” — GILLIAN ATKINS, Senior Designer, LRDS
“Always include one thing that makes you smile. In our house, it’s the cat door, which has cat ears at the front and a cute tail at the back.”
“Prioritize elements that will bring ease to your daily life. When we renovated, we installed a run of custom storage in our bedroom. It was a big-ticket item and it forced other important things off our list, but I can’t imagine how our storagedeprived, century-old house would function without it.” — ROSEMARY POOLE, Design Editor

Moroccan design is having a moment — and an enduring one at that. Consider The Boho Lab’s new outpost your passport to the look. Co-owners Sara Gheisari and Hamza Menebhi first met at The Rug Show in New York City in 2018 and, three years and many conversations later, decided to open a Toronto shop that brings together their shared appreciation for traditionally crafted textiles and accessories. (Hamza co-founded the first Boho Lab in Montreal in 2018.) To bring the feeling of a Moroccan marketplace to a bustling stretch of Dupont Street, the pair enlisted Julian Paulo Rodrigues of JPR Design. The main space displays a wide range of smaller items, while galleries at the back — one light and airy, the other with a black limewash treatment — are designed to showcase the rugs themselves. All are handwoven by Berber women in the Atlas Mountains and include new and vintage finds, custom designs, and trending leather and reed Tuareg rugs. “We’ve also launched a service called The BoHome Experience, where customers can select a few rugs, which we deliver, and then we help them choose the ones that work best,” says Sara. Pop into the shop or browse online and bring a little (or a lot) of Morocco home.

Sydney stylist Claire Delmar brings a curator’s eye to her artful interiors. Here’s what’s on her radar now. ATMOSPHERE YOU LIKE TO CREATE IN A HOME: Elevated, sophisticated, but still very welcoming. ITEM IN YOUR HOME THAT MOST REFLECTS WHO YOU ARE: My vast collection of handmade ceramics tells a story of my past and how I’ve evolved as a designer. CHOOSE ONE ROOM OR BUILDING IN THE WORLD TO REDECORATE: The Luxembourg Palace in Paris. The original design was a wonderful expression of French classical style; I would create a space that celebrated an unexpected juxtaposition of styles, rooted in history. IF YOU COULD BUY ONLY ONE MORE THING FOR YOUR HOME: The Maggiolina lounge chair by Zanotta. AN AUSTRALIAN CREATIVE CANADIANS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT: Sculptor, printmaker and photographer Alana Wilson. Her wonderfully tactile work questions the relationship between humans and their environments, often drawing upon biographical and anthropological sources. She’s definitely one to watch.

“I HAVE A REAL PASSION FOR MIXING THE OLD WITH THE NEW”
“Light has the ability to dress and inhabit an environment,” says Anaïe Dufresne of the inspiration behind Jacques & Anna, the Montreal lighting studio she co-founded with her father.

Its first brick-and-mortar store opened in the city’s designcentric Mile End neighbourhood in 2021, and serves as a space where Anaïe can put clients front and centre. “My vision is to bring warmth and magic into everyone’s home,” she says.

“We chose this neighbourhood because it’s a lively area with a close-knit community of independent boutiques,” says Canadian jewelry designer Melanie Auld, whose second retail location recently opened on Ossington Avenue in Toronto. Melanie is known for her refined, distinctly modern gold and silver pieces, so finding someone who could translate that aesthetic to the shop’s interior was key. Luckily, she knew where to look. “Montana Labelle’s work strikes the perfect balance between eye-catching details and beautifully executed architecture,” says Melanie. Montana’s team had also created travertine tables for Melanie’s home in Vancouver (the city where you’ll find the brand’s flagship location). In the Toronto store, Venetian plaster walls, richly patterned marble shelves and a central pill-shaped jewelry case in plaster and raw brass are the perfect backdrop for the designer’s signature stacked earring sets and new stone pendants. Petite jewelry dishes designed by Montana reference the pair’s mutual love of marble, and are a way to bring the look home. “We wanted to offer a small accessory that anyone could integrate into their space,” says Montana.

STATE of the ART With his vibrant paintings, Canadian artist and former punk musician Andy Dixon satirizes — but also celebrates — the well-to-do art world. By DIANA HAMM 28 H&H JUNE 2022
THE ARTIST: Andy Dixon’s brightly coloured paintings, largely in pink and teal, dissect cultural symbols of status and wealth, both as a means to investigate our interest in these things and to poke fun at the importance we place on them. Originally a punk musician from Vancouver, he’s pivoted to full-time painter with a cult following, due to his use of symbols such as Versace-style shirts and iconic art. THE WORKS: His last exhibition took place in Los Angeles in 2021 and focused on paintings themselves as the ultimate status symbol. This symbiotic relationship has existed for as long as fine art painting itself. Whether it’s portraits of Renaissance men surrounded by treasured belongings or Flemish still lifes incorporating exotic fruit and animal carcasses to display a wealth of knowledge and possession, paintings as a means of showing off is nothing new. “The paradox that art is one of the highest achievements of humankind — one of the few things I think about every waking moment — and also a kind of luxury commodity that is bought, sold, traded and shown off as a status symbol, is absolutely hilarious to me,” says Andy. And so, from this notion, he reimagines this tradition and, in this latest series, homes in on an aesthetic that exudes opulence, luxury and all that is enviable. His style rides the fine line between making fun of the art world and inserting himself into it. Take the Patron’s Home series, for example. In these works, Andy paints his collectors’ homes, which include his own paintings hanging in them. SEE SHOPPING LIST

Andy Dixon.
In this manner, he is both cementing his place in the canon and highlighting the commercial aspect of the art world. “My Patron’s Home series depicts real environments where my own work currently hangs,” says the artist. “It’s a play on the tradition of artists depicting their own work within another painting, normally at the artist’s studio — the place of inspiration. Instead, by depicting where the paintings end up after they’re sold, I’m highlighting the work’s commercial element.” It’s the high-value, big-number sales in the art world that get the most attention, despite those works being a very small portion, in terms of volume. And herein lies Andy’s interest. He’s exploring the hierarchy of value: what makes Allegory of Painting Painting (2020). a painting or object worth so much? And why does this endlessly fascinate us? “I’m interested in the abstract value of art, a market that doesn’t necessarily adhere to the general rules of value — supply and demand,” says Andy. “The idea that my works are worth a certain amount to one person but, Andy is represented by Over the Influence in Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Bangkok. His next exhibition will be in Paris say, if my studio was robbed and a second person tried to and will focus on the Patron’s Home series. sell them, they would be essentially worthless. Context is everything in art’s value.” In Allegory of Painting Painting (2020), Andy dutifully What’s normally representational, as a symbol of classic paints in the classical style, recreating French artist François taste and knowledge, now nods to excess and opulence. Boucher’s 1765 Rococo painting of the same subject. The This painting thrives; through its critical lens, it explores young woman, twisting to recline, displays layers of fabric notions of value and luxury and what that means to us to highlight the painter’s skill, while she paints the cherubs in a contemporary setting. surrounding her. The colours Andy uses place the piece Ultimately, these works are successful because they’re in a contemporary lexicon, but they also make the subject fun. Steeped in history, with recognizable signifiers, matter garish and crude. The colours are too bright, they’re enjoyable. The duality of poking fun at wealth and the canvas seems stuffed to the brim, the sky menacing. simultaneously embracing it is shared by both artist and collector. Andy’s self-portraits, for instance, are painted in a David Hockney–esque manner and depict the artist in a Versace-style shirt; he is immortalizing himself, as many have done before, as a way to insist on being remembered. Andy doesn’t take himself too seriously, though — and perhaps that’s precisely what he wants to communicate to future generations. COLLECTING: Andy has exhibited internationally, including in Canada, the U.K., the U.S. and Hong Kong. He’s in notable collections like Alice Walton’s private art collection, and Mindy Kaling is rumoured to own three of his paintings. His work starts at $31,000.

SHADED MAUVE
Ease into summer with this chic and calming hue. Produced by ROSEMARY POOLE | Text by JOSEPH CICERONE
WHY WE LOVE IT Shaded mauve is the cool and collected cousin of bold purple. Understated with just the right amount of whimsy, this smoky hue was popular in the ’80s and nods to fashion from that era. Today, it can be found in subtle colour pops in our homes, from walls to throw pillows. Incredibly versatile, this shade has rosy undertones that complement both warm and cool palettes, making it a seamless addition to your warm weather decorating refresh. Bring the colour to life with woven accents and a dash of icy blue or green.

Want colour all summer long? There are plenty of pretty plants that produce eye-catching blooms and feed the pollinators we depend on for one out of every three bites of food we eat. According to ecologist Junaid Khan of Pollinator Partnership Canada, native bees won’t sting and planting food for them can mean saving a small population. Butterflies, meanwhile, are attracted to large flower clusters in bright colours. “Aim for a garden that has three individual plants of three different species flowering in each season,” he says. Type in your postal code at pollinator.org and it will list plants that grow best in your region.

THE LOOK
French Flair Erin and Cindy transformed Kerry and Greg’s 134-square-foot ensuite bath as part of a whole-home renovation of the couple’s 1940s-era Toronto home. “We try to give design elements a functional purpose, and we wanted every aspect of the space to be cohesive,” says Cindy. That meant separating the shower enclosure and tub so their clients could move around freely. They also updated the skylight and divided the double vanity with a tall white oak storage cabinet to give each homeowner their own space. Some of the heritage character remains intact (like the charming angled ceiling) while new elements, like the patterned floor tile, give it a contemporary feel. The mix of styles is harmonious and elegant — a hallmark of Feasby & Bleeks Design. “I love combining styles for a truly curated look,” says Cindy. “It’s not too modern and not too traditional.” H&H JUNE 2022 41

For their new-build in Toronto’s Armour Heights neighbourhood, Jonathan and Romy knew they wanted a spacious, elegant ensuite with contemporary flair. Jaime Zimmerman of JPZ Interiors, who has a knack for creating clean-lined spaces with timeless appeal, was the perfect designer for the project. “Jonathan and Romy have two children, and this is their own personal space,” says Jaime. “They wanted a tranquil retreat that they could use together without feeling confined.” Now, the 195-square-foot bathroom features glossy porcelain tile that has the look of marble without the price tag, a double vanity — with tons of storage — and an enclosed water closet for privacy. Textural accessories such as the wicker basket and vintage stool warm things up, while graphic black accents like the pendant over the tub add drama to the otherwise neutral palette.

arm, modern style and custom details elevate this ultracompact kitchen Karen designed for her backyard office in Toronto. HOUSE & HOME: Tell us about the backyard garage and how you use it. KAREN SEALY: It’s about 500 square feet and serves as the office for me and my team. The previous kitchen had been added 14 years ago, and it felt a bit fussy. We wanted to experiment with the design and make it more representative of the work we do.

H&H: How would you describe the look? KS: Maritime modern. Like Scandi modern, there’s a simplicity of shape and form with no extra details, but it’s the maritime portion that brings in the warmth. By marrying natural textures and materials with clean, contemporary lines, it becomes very welcoming. H&H: What were the most costly aspects of the project? KS: The appliances were a bit of a splurge. The Wolf downdraft venting meant we didn’t need to incorporate a vent hood, and the Invisacook
induction cooktop is installed under the porcelain so it becomes a counter surface when it’s not being used. H&H: What’s your best advice for designing a small kitchen? KS: Think about how everything moves. Can your drawers get past your baseboard or windowsill? Is the door going to hit the wall? Know that you could spend more per square foot than with a larger kitchen because you may need to look at custom options to get the most out of the space you have. H&H JUNE 2022 47

hen the kids finally move out, some people take the opportunity to downsize. Others, like Tracey Pritchard — a food entrepreneur and the creator of a frozen pastry business — find themselves doing quite the opposite. After her last child moved out in 2016, Tracey decamped from her Victorian house in Toronto’s west end to a 3,000-square-foot, early Dutch American– style house in Stratford, Ont., all the while casting about for a small space to run her business, Perfect Pastry. But when Tracey’s son, Nick, a commercial real-estate agent, found a 150-year-old heritage building in neighbouring St. Marys, Ont., small became big — almost 13,000-square-feet big.

TRACEY’S PIEDÀTERRE
ABOVE: A window casts light on a primitive table, butter bowl and rug — all from antique shops in the area. LEFT: In the lounge, Tracey built a sideboard to hide old ductwork, as well as to display art and pottery.
Despite its dilapidated state, “the building had an energy and I immediately felt drawn to it,” says Tracey. She enlisted the help of designer Valerie Farrell, whom she’d met 30 years prior when the pair worked in the restaurant industry together (while Valerie studied architecture). The designer set about carving up the building’s cavernous space into a seamless layout that could house retail and residential, and even host events. First up, temporary quarters were constructed so Tracey would have a place to live while overseeing the massive project. A tiny but sophisticated pied-à-terre on the mezzanine floor of the building was created with simple white walls and painted floors. Tracey’s mix of antique furniture and eclectic textiles brought old world charm to the circa-1863 space, which overlooks the Thames River. But soon, the pandemic hit and everything slowed to a glacial pace, compounded by the fact that two entire storeys hadn’t been occupied in more than 100 years. “Save for my two big dogs, Bear and Beau, I was rattling around in this giant building all by myself for almost two years — yet it always had a really great vibe,” says Tracey. 54 H&H JUNE 2022
Her patience was rewarded when gems literally started to come out of the woodwork. “St. Marys is a quarry town, so most buildings are made of stone,” she says of the stone walls, which had been lying dormant behind layers of dust and drywall. “The building kept on giving.” Magnificent stone arch windows and even the building’s original antique doors were all uncovered with further excavation. The Flour Mill Food Shop now showcases cabinets and counters crafted from original baseboards and doorjambs. “We repurposed and reused everything, ” she says. Like one of her signature recipes, all the ingredients worked their magic under Tracey’s deft hands. Soon, the former pied-à-terre will become terrace space for Tracey’s two-storey owner’s suite and an adjacent Airbnb apartment. A yoga studio sits on the second floor and, on the ground level, The Flour Mill Food Shop is one of four retail spaces, and sells everything from homemade chia pots to potpies. “This is the most exciting thing I’ve ever done,” says Tracey. Adds Alex: “When we lock up the shop at the end of the night, there’s nowhere else we can imagine ourselves being.” SEE SOURCE GUIDE

WHETHER YOU LIVE IN A CASTLE OR A CONDO, the pull to decorate and surround yourself with whatever makes you happy — be it a comfortable chair, a flower-strewn wallpaper or simply a colour that puts a smile on your face — is irresistible. For some people, the pursuit of a beautiful home is the pursuit of happiness. Back in 2020, clients of New York–based designer Monica Fried bought a recently built, white clapboard house on one and a half hectares in Greenwich, Conn. Inside, every wall, ceiling, sink, cabinet and counter in the seven-bedroom home was white. It was heavenly, but the young family with three kids (plus two cats and a new puppy) knew exactly what it would take to make them happier: colour, and lots of it. “I wanted to live with colours that bring me joy,” says the homeowner. Contrary to the usual push-pull between colour-shy client and designer, she found herself encouraging Monica to go bolder, rather than quieter, with their palette. Buoyed by the clients’ wishes and given the challenge of infusing life, personality and patina into a huge house that was barely a year old, Monica began by swapping out the vanilla vibe for a juicier palette of gutsy, saturated shades.

“I find that when the mix is more eclectic, it becomes timeless. It’s those interesting pieces that give a room personality” — Monica Fried, designer LEFT: “We wanted marble that was elegant, dramatic and good at disguising stains, and a showstopping vent hood that would be a focal point,” says Monica’s client. “I think of these elements as jewelry, pieces that make a dress — or a room — special.” Faucet, Waterworks.

“The home had great bones, with tall windows, beautifully proportioned rooms and 10-foot-high ceilings, but it was bland,” recalls Monica, who adopted a relaxed approach to decorating risks. But there was a caveat. “This home’s traditional, symmetrical architecture lent itself to different colours because the rooms were clearly defined. This wasn’t something you would do in a modern, open-plan home, where you’d want it to be more neutral and have more flow from space to space.” So pale, wishy-washy hues were banished — the mission was to amp things up, not dial them down. Formerly blah walls were layered with vibrant paint, Venetian plaster or wallpaper, lending each space its own personality. Hues were chosen to create a specific mood; smile-inducing pink in a little girl’s bedroom, energizing saffron in the mudroom and calming olive green in the library. “Sometimes you want to feel refreshed, and sometimes you want to be embraced,” says the client. “Our previous home had a lot of greys and blues, but I wanted warmer colours because this house is so spacious. I wanted to make sure the 64 H&H JUNE 2022

rooms felt warm and cosy; we love to entertain, and now the house has an inviting quality that people respond to.” In Monica’s hands, the spaces have a sense of connection that stems not from repeating colours but from consistently mixing old and new elements — a vintage-style chandelier hovers above a contemporary sectional, and pop art sidles up to a classic marble mantelpiece. “I find that when the mix is more eclectic, it becomes timeless,” says Monica. “It’s those interesting pieces that give a room personality.” Now, the house has an easy polish that reflects its carefree owners. Although this is the home of three young children, sophistication is never sacrificed for style. Nothing is off-limits and no room is out of bounds. “If things get stained or scuffed, we’ll just use it as an opportunity to find another fun fabric. I don’t want them to feel like they’re living in a museum,” laughs the homeowner, as her young daughter and a flock of friends skid by in a blur of pink and giggles. “We all feel blessed that we get to live amidst such beauty. We couldn’t be happier.” Mission accomplished. SEE SOURCE GUIDE

Sappho made the cutting boards herself, and the wooden spoons are from a local market.
The upper level houses the principal ensuite, a bedroom for their 10-year-old, two mudrooms and living rooms, the kitchen and dining room, as well as the office and powder room. “There was nothing that needed to change floor plan–wise,” says Sappho. “There were mostly only cosmetic changes to do, which was good, as I was building my design firm and didn’t want a large project.” Sappho got to work, converting a garage into their eldest teen’s bedroom and lounge, gutting the kitchen, painting the entire house and adding wallpaper in a couple of rooms. Thanks to careful planning, the whole project took just two months. As for the budget, she capped costs at $130,000 and set a realistic wish list. Some things, like new living room sofas, would have to wait — she re-covered a vintage set in natural linen for the time being — and the bathroom was just freshened up with paint. The bulk of the reno budget, around $90,000, was allocated to the kitchen, with new flooring, cabinets, marble counters, open shelves and a walnut butcherblock island transforming the space.

HOW TO BUDGET FOR A RENO THINK ABOUT RESALE VALUE. “In our last home, we installed high-end windows but the eventual buyers didn’t care,” says Sappho, who kept the builder-basic vinyl windows in her new home. DISTIL YOUR GOALS AND WISH LIST. Be precise and stick to it as much as you can, so renovation costs and scope do not creep out of control. FIND BUDGET-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES. Instead of artisanal tile, Sappho chose a ceramic option that looks handmade but costs a lot less. SAVE FOR THE NEXT RENO. In the principal bathroom, all she did was paint. This is a future project, and it was good enough for moving in. CHOOSE USED OVER NEW. “I don’t have the budget to buy all-new, so I hunt for vintage pieces. They often have more soul and patina anyway.”

“I’M ATTR ACTED TO COLOUR, BUT I KEPT REMINDING MYSELF THAT THIS HOUSE IS SOFT AND QUIET, LIKE AN ENGLISH COTTAGE” — Sappho Griffin, designer Once the reno dust settled, it was time to pack in the pretty. “In our last house, I used primary reds, blues and yellows because I was interested in folk art, but I needed a change — a more sophisticated palette with muted tones,” says Sappho, who admits it took some discipline. “I’m attracted to colour, but I kept reminding myself that this house is soft and quiet, like an English cottage.” With no room in the budget (or desire) to buy everything new, she filled her 4,000-square-foot home with the Canadiana furniture she’s been collecting for the past 20 years, bohemian textiles and pottery from her mother’s collection. Sappho’s cousin, designer Emily Griffin, also weighed in to share tips and processes. “When Emily was here visiting, I asked for her opinion on my bedroom because it wasn’t feeling right,” says Sappho. “She suggested removing some pattern and making the small space more neutral. I reupholstered my headboard in a natural woven and replaced the carpet with jute — now, pattern and colour come from the bedding and vintage paintings, and I love how it feels.” Staying true to her own style has served Sappho well and, five years after renovating, there’s little she’d do differently. “I really love what we tackled and, though I’m ready for a few tweaks, the good bones are there.” H&H JUNE 2022 73

two-year span, they retained their Toronto condo as a pied-à-terre and spent the bulk of their time at the farmhouse, a better place to raise their son, Jude, 3, and his new baby sister, Elliegrace. Designer Halina Catherine had beautifully renovated the couple’s condo, so they hired her for round two. (“If I could do 10 houses with Halina, I would,” says Colomba.) Halina has been designing high-end homes and commercial spaces for more than 30 years in both Toronto and St. Simons Island, Ga. “The setting blew me away,” says Halina of the farmhouse. “But it was old and had dated finishes; it wasn’t what you’d call historical, more like a replica from the early 1980s.” A total gut job, with the exception of the stone foundation, was necessary. Halina favours a sophisticated yet comfortable decorating style. “I like the idea of informal formality,” she says. “There’s something formal RIGHT: The arched brick wall, long trestle table and leather chairs conjure warmth and romance in the dining area.

about Southern elegance, but you don’t feel uptight — it’s soulful.” Having grown up on an equine farm outside of Kingston, Ont., Halina “rode horses before I could walk,” and her grandparents also had a cottage on the property. The nuances of a country build are in her bones: from her Czech grandmother she picked up Old European design habits, employing brick, linen and plaster in her creations. For the Lamanna farmhouse, the goal was to merge the couple’s styles. “My husband likes new things, and I like old things,” says Colomba. But Pat’s not all flash, either; he didn’t want an extravagant house. It was important to carve out special spots “to carry on the traditions we’ve been brought up with,” he says. The foundation ties in to the new stone-clad exterior, assembled using five different types of stone that Halina picked herself. “It resembles an old romantic Tuscan villa,” she says of the structure. The footprint of the house remained unchanged except for a low-ceilinged bedroom that was turned into a glorious vaulted great room. Salt-toned plaster walls add to the farmhouse charm. “The great room had the best view, so I made the roofline as high as I could and added a loft with stairs overlooking it,” says Halina, likening it to a barn loft where hay would be stored. In the basement, Halina created a cantina; the family makes sausages, wine and tomato sauce, and also dries herbs and preserves vegetables plucked fresh from the garden. The cantina’s ancient stone foundation walls are a fitting backdrop. The kitchen, in a modern farmhouse style with heritage touches, is deliberately intimate, with ceilings trussed in white oak beams. Ditto for the rugged brick in the mudroom off the side porch and foyer. And when selecting the palette, Halina went with fresh and punchy hues, uniting tonal white, cream and some of Farrow & Ball’s deepest blues. Today, the couple is overjoyed with the result of the renovation. (Halina is also on the hook for round three, involving a future carriage house, second kitchen and barn.) “We absolutely love it,” says Pat. “My favourite place is the great room; it’s very calming. We don’t have a television — we listen to music and have martinis.” Adds Colomba: “With the old-school wood-burning fireplace and the light coming in from the huge windows, it’s gorgeous — it’s the perfect combination of elements.” H&H JUNE 2022 79

THE REAL DEAL Halina’s tips for getting a new-old farmhouse right. DON’T GO TOO GRAND. “Not everything has to be large and imposing. Little areas are more quaint and charming,” says Halina, who suggests keeping the entry restrained. “I love the nooks and crannies that add an element of surprise.” TREAT THE WALLS. Bring in character with wallpaper, fun fabric or textural linen, as well as historical paint colours. BLEND OLD AND NEW. Don’t be in a rush to tear everything down. Marry the past with the present, so it’s not boring. Reclaimed wood beams and panelling add old world character. CONSIDER OPENING IT UP. If it makes sense, create one large space from the kitchen and dining areas. “It’s more contemporary and becomes the heart of the home,” says Halina. Balance the look by keeping finishes rustic with reclaimed materials.

BEST ADVICE
Take It From the Pros Some of the best designers in the business answer your biggest decorating questions.
Q: When should I use roman blinds versus drapes? A: I generally use a roman shade when we have smaller-scale windows and drapes on larger
windows. Drapes are wonderful for adding softness to a room and can help emphasize the height of space beautifully. I also consider how often the window covering needs to be opened or closed; if you have lots of windows and constantly want to be adjusting for light control, romans will not be very functional, unless they’re automated. — GILLIAN SEGAL, Vancouver

Q: What should I hang behind my sectional sofa? A: Choosing art for a room requires consideration of the overall
concept. It can be evocative or still; it can also mirror the personality of the client. Though there are no real hard-and-fast rules for injecting a space with art, some of my suggestions include considering the viewing height — art should be placed at sight lines in the home — choosing a spot for art other than behind the bed, and adding strong background colours to emphasize the art and create depth. — ALDA PEREIRA, Vancouver
Q: Can I mix roman blinds with drapes?
A: Of course! I love a layered window covering look —
it makes a space feel more finished and creates a tailored frame for the view. Beyond aesthetic reasons, multiple window treatments allow for flexibility in controlling light and privacy. — CELIA BRYSON, Montreal
Q: How high should my dining room light fixture hang above my table?
A: I suggest 33 to 34 inches above
the table for eight-foot ceiling heights. For every additional foot of height, add three inches more to that number. And make sure there’s about six inches of clearance from the table edges so you don’t bump your head! — SHAUNA WALTON, Toronto

Calgary’s Nyla Free answers questions about what it’s like to work with a designer at her firm.
Q: What can I expect at my first meeting? A: We walk through images, talk about the overall aesthetic goals and learn about our client’s lifestyle. It’s an extensive meeting that kickstarts the creative process, and allows us to dive deep into understanding our client’s needs and wants.
Q: What do I need to know about skirted sinks? A: They’re so much fun! We love this fresh approach to the common vanity cabinet. For the best outcome, incorporate a modern pleat on a colourful outdoor fabric with a repetitive pattern in a smaller scale. — CORTNEY BISHOP, Charleston, S.C.
a different style, so too will they have differences in their experience, offering and business structure. Hourly rates, a scale of fees or an overall flat fee are all common ways to charge for services.
Q: Will designers work with any budget, or do I need to have a minimum amount? A: This will largely depend on the designer but, ultimately, we feel the numbers need to make sense. A project with a small budget is not necessarily a good match for a designer who has a higher hourly rate.
Q: What’s the current trend in stairway design?
A: We’re getting away from
the hard glass and steel look. The trend is toward a more enclosed stairway, often with soft, curved details or wood panelling; it gives a home a more cosy feeling. — SHIRLEY MEISELS, MHouse, Toronto 84 H&H JUNE 2022
Q: Will designers find a contractor for the project? A: Absolutely! We’re happy to recommend a contractor we know and trust. Doing so often brings a lot of benefit and value to the client and project as a whole.

It’s mineral-based, natural and nontoxic, plus it’s easy to use and comes in many colours. With a Bauwerk brush — you can get one through Salt by The Caza Project — make loose, free strokes in all directions, being careful not to leave drips. Over time, your colours will develop subtle highs and lows, creating a unique and beautiful finish. — MONTANA BURNETT, Toronto
Q: What kind of rug do
I pair with a curved sofa?
A: If the curved sofa is in an open-
concept or strangely shaped space, a round rug often makes the most sense. Its curve will keep any corners from awkwardly sticking out from under furniture and soften the room’s lines. This creates a more natural transition between zones, such as the living and dining spaces. — LUKE HAVEKES, Montreal

Q: How can I break up an upper hallway full of doors?
A: Pocket doors are a great solution when you want
occasional privacy but still want the space to feel open and inviting. Using translucent glass or painting the doors a bold colour helps add further interest and detail. — REBECCA HAY, Toronto
Q: How do I create a brick floor in an existing room? Won’t the bricks be too thick?
A: It’s now much easier to create
a brick-floor look, as there are many brick veneer tiles available. The brick tiles are as thick as your average tile and can be installed by a tile installer. In this mudroom, we did a herringbone pattern and specified an overgrout application to give it an authentic look. — JENELLE ERICKSON, SmithErickson Designs, Calgary 86 H&H JUNE 2022

Eastern Townships Design NATHALIE DESJEAN, STUARTWEBSTERDESIGN Photography ANGUS McRITCHIE THE BACKSTORY: This expansive pool in Quebec's Eastern Townships is made from a variety of concrete called gunite — a hard-wearing mix of concrete, sand and water that’s applied using a high-pressure hose. Landscape architect Nathalie Desjean of StuartWebsterDesign took care of everything, adding a new deck and coping made from St-Marc limestone in a honed finish. “Our plan was to do laps every morning but, of course, kids, friends and even our dog, Echo, use it all the time,” says Nathalie's client. The 10-foot depth and broad steps are accented by in-pool lighting that is dramatic in the evening, and the naturalized look blends seamlessly with the backdrop of waving pines. “You can see the bocce ball court from the pool; it draws you even more into the magnificent native setting,” says Nathalie. “Now, it’s a real gathering place.” Her client agrees: “It’s definitely a magnet. There’s no better way to enjoy our short-lived summers — don’t think twice about putting in a pool; just do it!” 90 H&H JUNE 2022

But as her three active children, Max, 11, and twins Emmy and Lola, 9, grew up, it wasn’t getting used as much. “My husband, Sam, didn’t want a big play structure on the lawn, but we wanted the kids outside when they were home,” says Erin. “The pool makes our yard a destination. We always wanted a house where everyone likes to hang out with their friends.” They chose a fibreglass pool because it could be lifted into their backyard in one day, and it’s less costly than a concrete version. Erin opted for a clean look that would blend in to the spa’s hardscaping with large-scale concrete pavers around the pool, natural Eramosa stone coping and a light grey liner to match the existing spa. The pool has broad steps and tanning ledges in the deep end that can support chairs or rambunctious kids. Erin says that, with the landscaping, custom cabanas and furniture, the final tally inched up near $200,000 but reasons that you have to think of it as a cottage in the city, “and there’s no long commute!” TOP LEFT: Inset wood planks create a dock-like effect in this seating area.

WHAT THEY WANTED: A spot for kids to cool off without sacrificing the bulk of their backyard to a pool POOL TYPE: Galvanized metal WHY THEY CHOSE IT: It’s economical and easy to use; at the end of the season, they can just flip it over THE DIMENSIONS: 11' diam. x 2' d. THE COST: $1,250 for a 10'-diam. pool, plus shipping
3. City Oasis Design ARREN WILLIAMS | Photography STACEY BRANDFORD THE BACKSTORY: When Sarah and Adam Cooper asked their designer, Arren Williams, for a fun addition to their rustic backyard, he floated the idea of a galvanized metal stock tank pool. This playful alternative to a typical aboveground pool is usually used to water cows. “They wanted something that was easy and doable,” says Arren. “The boys are always outside playing with friends in the neighbourhood or jumping on the trampoline, so this tank is just what’s needed to cool down.” The pool arrived on a truck so installation was immediate, and it’s easy to maintain. Adam watched YouTube videos to learn how to install the pump and filter. “It’s very low-maintenance and a lot of fun,” says Sarah. “The boys have invented a lot of games to play — pool hockey, basketball and water gun battles — and it’s been an inexpensive source of summer fun.” The family can always transition to an in-ground pool down the road, but this tank is great for testing the waters to see if they want to make a more permanent arrangement. “It’s two feet deep, but it’s not just for the kids to splash around,” says Arren. “You can sit in there with a glass of wine.” TOP LEFT: Sam, 8, perches on the side of the pool; the galvanized metal doesn’t get too hot and the lip isn’t sharp. The pool and yard stay clear of plant debris, thanks to the evergreens that don’t drop their leaves. RIGHT: The pool is screened by mature pines for a cottagey look that suits the rustic pool. The galvanized tank is accented by an equally rustic boulder-like firepit. Pool, Livestock Equipment Canada; firepit, Muskoka chairs, Wayfair Canada. 94 H&H JUNE 2022

ADVICE FROM A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
SMALL CAN BE BEAUTIFUL. Little pools (10' x 12') are a huge hit with kids, as are one-level pools with a depth of about four feet so swimmers can play volleyball. THE GRASS IS GREENER. People want to feel like they’re swimming in a lagoon, so let the plant matter grow right to the edge. BUDGET FOR LANDSCAPING. Consider where pool mechanics will be housed and whether you’ll need a custom outbuilding to house them. Plus, fencing and patio enhancement can cost $30,000 to $40,000. TALK TO AN ARBORIST. If you have large, mature trees in your yard, local regulations may prohibit their removal for a pool.
Q A
WHAT’S THE MOST POPULAR SIZE?
Approximately 500 square feet. “People use a pool lengthwise, not widthwise, so we advise people to go skinnier,” says Marc Luff of Betz Pools, who notes that 14' x 30' and 14' x 32' are two of the most popular sizes. For fibreglass pools, the most popular shell size is 15½' x 30', according to Heather Laing of Leisure Pools Canada in Vaughan, Ont. 96 H&H JUNE 2022

Fibreglass. Heather says this pool type can be installed in as little as a day. The shells are moulded in a selection of shapes and sizes so the placement of features such as steps are predetermined, and they’re a budget-friendly way to add elements such as splash decks or tanning ledges.

HANNAH SUNDERANI’S VEGAN TAKE ON CLASSIC FRENCH FOOD INSPIRED A POPULAR BLOG, AND NOW A NEW COOKBOOK. Text ALEXANDRA WHYTE Photography HANNAH SUNDERANI
“IN A CULTURE WHERE FROMAGE, foie gras and charcuterie are everyday staples, a plant-based diet was not always celebrated,” says Toronto blogger (and vegan) Hannah Sunderani, who moved to France in 2015. While the relocation was for her husband’s job, Hannah took it as a chance to explore her passion for food. But the locals didn’t share the same excitement for her veganism. “Calling ahead to restaurants to inform them of my diet was often met with displeasure and, one time, resulted in being served half a cooked carrot as my main course. What they did with the other half, I will never know.” Out of necessity, Hannah figured out how to adapt French food into at-home vegan dishes and shared those findings with hundreds of thousands of readers on her blog, Two Spoons. After spending four years in France, Hannah returned to Toronto and created The Two Spoons Cookbook, which is packed with recipes for many dishes you probably didn’t know could be vegan, from cheese fondue to croissants. But nothing is overly complicated. “It’s not a cookbook for French cooking enthusiasts or masterful chefs… it’s for the everyday home cook, one who wants to add more plant-based recipes into their diet without compromising taste,” says Hannah. Hannah has learned a lot from the French about eating (and living) well, despite their feelings about her plant-based diet. Perhaps the most important? “Enjoy your dishes as an occasion to be celebrated, no matter how big or small, even if just for a moment.” 98 H&H JUNE 2022

Mushroom and Spinach Quiche SERVES 8
This savoury tart is made with a flaky pastry and flavourful mushroom and spinach filling, and will please even non-vegans with its cheesy taste and eggy consistency. Pastry Crust 1½ cups all-purpose flour ¼ tsp fine sea salt ½ cup + 1 tbsp vegan butter, cold ¼ cup cold water 1 tsp apple cider vinegar Filling 1 tbsp coconut oil 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 yellow onion, finely chopped 8 oz. cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced 4 cups tightly packed baby spinach 12 oz. silken tofu ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk ¼ cup nutritional yeast 1 tbsp arrowroot powder ¼ tsp ground turmeric ¼ tsp onion powder ¼ tsp garlic powder ¼ tsp fine sea salt ¼ tsp fine black salt ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper MAKE CRUST 1. In food processor, combine flour and salt. Cut vegan butter into small chunks and add to bowl. Pulse a few times to lightly mix ingredients. Add water and apple cider vinegar and pulse a few more times to form a crumbly dough. (You can also combine all ingredients in a large bowl, except water, and massage with your hands to form crumbly a dough. Add water and massage to form a shaggy dough.) Do not overknead dough. 2. Transfer dough to work surface and bring together to form ball. Cover with reusable wrap and chill in refrigerator for 60 minutes. 104 H&H JUNE 2022
3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly sprinkle work surface with flour. Using rolling pin, roll out dough into 12" circle. If needed, lightly sprinkle dough with flour to stop rolling pin from sticking. Roll dough around rolling pin. Gently lift dough and unroll over 11" tart pan with removable bottom. Press into bottom and up sides of pan. For clean edge, trim excess dough with knife. Patch any cracks with excess dough. Poke a few holes in base with fork. (This will stop the base from lifting as it cooks. There’s no need to use pie weights with this crust.) 4. Transfer tart pan to baking sheet and blind-bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. MAKE FILLING 1. Heat coconut oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until juices they release have evaporated and mushrooms have softened and browned, about 10 minutes. Add spinach, cover with lid, and let spinach wilt, two to three minutes. Remove from heat. 2. In food processor or high-speed blender, combine silken tofu, almond milk, nutritional yeast, arrowroot powder, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, black salt and pepper. Pulse until smooth. ASSEMBLE AND BAKE 1. Pour tofu mixture into skillet and mix together with cooked vegetables to combine. Pour filling into prebaked crust in smooth and even layer. Bake until filling is golden and firm, about 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing.
Summer Rainbow Ratatouille SERVES 4
This ratatouille might look like an intimidating dish, but it’s a simple veggie stew made with colourful tomato, zucchini, eggplant, summer squash and fragrant herbs baked in a cast-iron skillet or casserole dish until soft and bubbling.
2 1 4 1 1 28 2 3 ½ 1 1 1 3 ¼
tbsp olive oil large red onion, finely chopped cloves garlic, finely chopped tsp fine sea salt, divided red bell pepper, finely chopped oz. crushed tomatoes tsp herbes de Provence tsp fresh thyme leaves, divided cup tightly packed fresh basil leaves, chopped green zucchini, sliced into ½" rounds yellow summer squash, sliced into ½" rounds Japanese eggplant, sliced into ½" rounds Roma tomatoes, sliced into ½" rounds tsp freshly ground black pepper Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
MAKE SAUCE 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat olive oil in 10" cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add red onion, garlic and ¾ tsp of salt. Cook, stirring often, until onion has softened, about 10 minutes. Add bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. 2. Pour in crushed tomatoes and season with herbes de Provence and 2 tsp of thyme. Cook at low simmer until sauce has slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Add basil and stir to combine. Remove from heat. ASSEMBLE AND BAKE 1. Starting from outer edge of skillet and working your way to middle, arrange sliced veggies over tomato sauce, snugly upright but slightly angled, and alternating colours (zucchini, summer squash, eggplant and tomato). Fan apart slightly, if needed, to cover entire pan with no large gaps. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp thyme, remaining ¼ tsp salt and black pepper. 2. Cover skillet with foil or oven-safe lid and bake ratatouille for 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue cooking until vegetables are very soft and ratatouille is bubbling, another 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish with basil leaves just before serving, if desired.

Lemon Tart SERVES 12
Made with a silky lemon curd filling that is bright, citrusy, creamy and sweet, this tart melts in your mouth yet is firm enough to hold its shape when sliced. The crust pairs perfectly with its oat, almond and walnut base. 1 cup raw cashews Crust 1 cup gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats ½ cup raw walnuts ½ cup almond flour ¼ cup coconut oil, melted 2 tbsp pure maple syrup ¼ tsp fine sea salt Lemon Filling 14 oz. full-fat coconut milk Zest 1 lemon ½ cup lemon juice ¼ cup pure maple syrup ⅛–¼ tsp ground turmeric, for colouring Pinch fine sea salt 1 tsp agar agar 1 lemon, thinly sliced, ¼ cup fresh raspberries, 1 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes, for garnish PREPARE CASHEWS 1. Place cashews in small bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 60 minutes, then drain. (Alternatively, soak cashews in room-temperature water to cover for at least six hours up to overnight, then drain.) MAKE CRUST 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In food processor, pulse oats until they reach flour-like consistency. Transfer oat flour to small bowl. Add walnuts to food processor and pulse into fine meal. Add oat flour, almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup and salt. Pulse until well combined, 15 to 30 seconds. 2. Transfer dough to 9" round tart pan with removable bottom and press it evenly into bottom and up sides. Using fork, poke 10 to 12 holes in base of
dough. (This will stop base from lifting as it cooks. There’s no need to use pie weights with this crust.) Place on baking sheet and blind-bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let crust cool on wire rack for at least 20 minutes. MAKE FILLING AND ASSEMBLE 1. In high-speed blender, combine drained cashews, coconut milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, ⅛ tsp turmeric and salt. Blend on medium-high speed, until smooth and combined. Add up to ⅛ tsp more turmeric for colouring, if desired. (Note that colour will deepen when filling is heated.) Add agar agar and blend on low speed until combined, 15 to 20 seconds. 2. Pour filling into medium saucepan. Over medium heat, stir often with spatula, until mixture has thickened to pourable custard consistency (just before it reaches boiling) and there is a bit of resistance, seven to 10 minutes. Working quickly, pour filling into blind-baked tart shell. It will begin to thicken immediately. If filling is uneven, gently jostle tart back and forth on counter to smooth top. Pop any air bubbles with toothpick. 3. Let tart cool completely in pan on wire rack at room temperature. Then cover with plastic wrap (it’s OK if it touches filling) and chill in refrigerator for at least three hours, preferably overnight. 4. To serve, gently remove sides of pan. If desired, garnish tart with thinly sliced lemon rounds, fresh raspberries and sprinkle of coconut flakes.

I’m moving my TV out of the living room to make space for my book collection and would love some help with layout and storage solutions before I buy new furniture. How can I accommodate my books and make the room feel more inviting? — G.S., Toronto
Your living room has lots of potential, but the bulky furniture is making it feel cramped. Let’s start by finding a solution for your books. I suggest installing custom bookshelves on either side of the window, similar to the inspiration shot. This will make the room feel more like a library, as it will become the feature wall. Paint your new shelves and walls in the same colour; consider Benjamin Moore’s Oil Cloth. Remove your window shutters and replace them with new blinds. Hunter Douglas Provenance woven shades in Barley would add lovely texture. In one corner by the library wall, a new chair and ottoman will make a great spot for reading. Add a floor lamp and small side table. In the
opposite corner, add another smaller chair for extra seating. Then, replace your existing sofa with a slim, modern one with exposed legs. Finally, ground the grouping with a rug and a central round coffee table. If your existing ceiling fixture is centred in the room, you can replace it with a statement pendant. If not, installing a directional light to illuminate your library wall would work well. Your new living room is ready to enjoy! 1. Lucille floor lamp, $225. Mkt. 2.

Nineties flower power is back in style, but this time paired with edgy accents. In fashion, this can mean black army boots with a daisy-print dress from John Lewis & Partners (above). At home, you might mix flowered pillows with graphic modern art. Either way, the daisy is the retro bloom of the moment. Take inspiration from Castle’s playful bedscape (above) and Marimekko’s pastel Pieni Unikko cushion cover for a major floral moment. If subtlety is more your style, consider Eny Lee Parker’s organic sconce, Black Rooster Decor’s gold leaf–finished accent table or Poppy Almond Design’s mod print. Want to energize your rooms for summer? Look no further than Serpui’s Daisy table mats and Orla Kiely’s sunny yellow stool wrapped in one of the designer’s iconic floral prints. Hatton Labs’ daisy pearl necklace and Miu Miu’s peep-toe platform sandals will add some pop to your outfit. For evening, try Roger Vivier’s crochet-adorned flower shoulder bag. Finish off your petal-perfect look with a spritz of Marc Jacobs’ floral eau de toilette, and step out feeling as fresh as a daisy. 1. White Pearl Daisy necklace by Hatton Labs, Ssense. 2.
