It's that time of year for our home again. It's time to update the house tour and meander through the house we call home. In case you are new here the links for the last few years of home tours will be found at the bottom of this tour so you can take a sneak peek at where our home has evolved from. We live in our home in Ontario Canada that we loosely and long-ly classify as Vintage Eclectic Rustic Industrial with a smidgen of traditional thrown in. We live in each of our spaces and love the home we have created through travels and collections. Our style isn't for everyone but it suits us to a tee and if you knew us personally you can tell we live here.
I love all things interiors and quite frankly exteriors as well, and believe that a home should tell your story and reflect the life that you live past and present. It should be an ever evolving tale of your travels, experiences and passions. As a shopkeeper I see many different people enter my store with thoughts about where they want to start with their home and some that just want to add that piece to call it done, and there are others trying to cut and paste something they saw someone else do. Every person has a different idea of what makes a home. I also get asked everyday, does your house look like this store?
And although I think a home is never truly done and continually evolves to reflect the new inspirations that we come across, it is safe to say the home that I share with my husband is a story about us and our interests. Some may call us hoarders, ridiculous even and some may completely relate to our shelves of finds. We have a love of "stuff" and displaying said stuff for ourselves and others to see. We love the stories that go with the things in our home and we love recalling them over a glass of wine. I don't spend my days attached to a dusting wand, so please don't ask me.
We welcome you to our ever changing home!
