The Princess Margaret Welcome Home Sweepstakes Showhome

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to join the Princess Margaret Welcome Home Sweepstakes Showhome contributor launch.

If you’ve been following Desire to Decorate for a while, you already know love symmetry, so this house got me from the outside! Love it!

This year’s showhome was indeed different. It was the first time interior designer Brian Gluckstein, and his design team, held the position of leading the design process for the house. And, true to Brian’s signature style, the house had a mix traditional and modern elements grounded by a neutral colour palette. This showhome radiates the ultimate entertaining home surrounded by glamorous décor. And of course, the design execution wouldn’t be possible if not for the work of home builder PCM Project and Construction Management.

Starting with the front entry. Almost reminiscent of the hotel lobby.


The first door to the left… the library.

The one trend I noticed immediately was the millwork, trim and baseboards were all painted the same colour. The crown moulding was the only detail painted white as were most of the ceilings.


… special highlights for two of my Juice Marketing Group clients… the drapery sheers are from JF Fabrics and the artwork is from Cocoon Furnishings.


To the right… the living room.

Just behind the living room is the staircase.

Another shout out for JF Fabrics!!! So thrilled to see such a great representation of JF Fabrics through out the entire house!!!

The upper level hallway. I have a thing for hallways, my house is open concept so we don’t really have any. And, I absolutely love the display terrariums.

The guest bedroom. If I recall correctly, each bedroom has a bathroom.

The library from the upper level. The wallpaper is reminiscent of one available at JF Fabrics http://bit.ly/15cIycd


… and looking down.


The girl bedroom.

The boy bedroom.


The master bath was spectacular.



Back downstairs… the dining room. Yes, that's me taking the photo!




Onwards to… the kitchen.



Adjacent to the kitchen was the family room. I love the contemporary art wall display camouflaging the TV in the family room. 


Moving to the lower level. As soon as you come downstairs, you’re greeted with the workout room! Wonder how many times I would walk right on by? Ha!

The laundry room is right after the workout room… avoiding these areas although would be me.

I would likely carry onwards to the recreation TV area. And, of course there’s another bedroom with bath, bar area and wine cellar.

The landscaping in the backyard was simple yet fabulous for entertaining.

Tired of looking at photos? And, there’s so much more to see!
