Do you believe in magic? We do! Our vision was to build our Forever Home in Wortley Village. We wanted this home to reflect our values of family, togetherness, comfort and joy. We envisioned a home that would function for our family, for this stage in our life and would empower us to live simply and beautifully.
We chose a calm and tranquil palette of whites and soft greys, with pops of aqua, pink, navy and black throughout, against a backdrop of natural linens, wools and cottons, organic wallpapers, woods and metals. All of the cabinetry was handcrafted in workshops by the finest cabinetmakers who brought their passion and dedication to our dreams. From solid white ash hardwood and stone flooring and countertops, to sparkling lighting and towering windows, to stunning furniture, artwork and accessories, each detail was curated with thoughtfulness and care.
And, the exterior of the home is exactly as we imagined. Finished in light mist board and batten planks, complemented by black windows and garage and metal roof and topped off with an aqua blue front door, the house fits perfectly into this 100 year old neighbourhood. And, a wow detail, two large scale copper sconces beside the front door and a black gooseneck light fixture over the garage. The front and back porches are dreams come true, inviting us to engage with our neighbours out front or to escape to our beautiful backyard.
What began as a dream in September 2018 has been brought to life. As we begin 2020, we are very grateful to all of those passionate and talented individuals who helped us build this home —- our little bit of magic in the world.
