FAMILY FRIENDLY HOME IN TORONTO WITH PERSONAL STYLE

October 2, 2013
  • Share
Living room of Vogue.com contributor Sophie Young's childhood home in Toronto with mint walls, wood floor, white sofa, gold framed mirror and pink chairs

A comfortable accessible family home in Toronto.  This home was featured on Vogue’s website…apparently the home where Vogue.com contributor and blogger Sophie Young grew up. A very warm home a mix of old and new.  The home sits in a residential neighborhood in the center of Toronto.  It was an abandoned property before Sophie’s parents took it over and made it their own.

A safe, stylish, fresh, personal, unpretentious space to raise a family. The decorating style combines old and new quite seamlessly along with a little whimsy in the form of color and art.  Well done.  Take a look.

This is the type of home great for raising a family and for entertaining loved ones.  A personal space with warm design appeal.

What do you think of this Canadian home?

Happy Wednesday!

    The only things I don’t like are the fireplaces on diagonal walls. I see that a lot here in Victoria, too.

    I love the covered entry to the home, the wood floors, the mirrored walk-in closet, and the fireplaces in the two bedrooms.

    But did I really love the home? No. The kitchen with its sharp edges left me cold.
    it just seems like a hodge-podge of styles inside.

This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Your mom’s coming over and suddenly every room neeYour mom’s coming over and suddenly every room needs to be perfect. 🤣
Panic mode activated!
If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
