  1. Love the wide horizontal stripes on the wall and that she has placed pictures on the sideboard instead of handing them. It is just something different that appeals to me. I have to agree I do not like the large mirror placed on top of the books, rather see it on the floor and leaning.

  2. I have so many fun memories of Toronto that I’m biased and I am not a very good judge: I loved this home even if it’s very different than mine. And I agree with your idea that in a small home, the colours should flow from one room to an other.

  3. I love the mirror but in my house with my Boxer/Labrador and 3 kitties it would not last long propped in the books ! The house is pretty but your home appeals to me so much more Brenda. Yours looks like it was made with love and exudes a sense of peace and says, “Come and sit awhile.”

  4. I agree with Kris and the large pieces of furniture in the small space BUT the accessories are on-point

  5. I see that mirror falling if not anchored…scary…..too big for me….I do like the yellow tone in the bedroom.

  6. I like the mirror idea,its very different.
    I wonder if she was trying the candles in front of the mirror and just pushed them to the side?

  7. I thought the same thing, when I saw that huge mirror, next to the 3 small candles. Just looks odd to me. I do love the colors used in all the rooms tho, very pretty.

  8. Beautiful. Loved her use of white with the wood furniture pieces. Great designer.

  9. Pretty home, but not cozy to me. Too modern, perhaps. I’ve heard some designers say you can use large pieces of furniture in a small room, but I think if you use more than one large place, the room simply looks smaller. A large sideboard or hutch of some sort, yes, but not a large couch that takes up the whole room. Unlike some of the others who commented, I actually like the mirror on top of the books. I think that’s a cool and interesting feature. With the candles on the floor, I think she was trying to fill in that space. Perhaps a plant would’ve been a better choice.

  10. IT LOOKS COLD AND UNINVITING TO ME.
    BOOKS ON FLOOR UNDER THE MIRROR LOOKS STRANGE AND OUT OF PLACE, AN AFTER THOUGHT. NOT A GOOD ONE.

  11. I agree with Ķris about the large pieces of furniture in a small space. I have some large pieces in a small space and I think they make the space seem even smaller. I also think the very heavily framed mirror on those books looks odd. It looks like it overwhelms the space. And the candles on the floor look out of place to me. They appear awfully small to set on the floor, especially next to such a large mirror. Otherwise her home is attractive and her choice of colours are very pretty.

  12. What a pretty space. There may be limited space but there appears to be lots of light and the colors used look so nice. I really like the pops of color throughout and the dining area is so darned attractive.

  13. This is very pretty and I like the choice of color with the white. I also live in a smaller home. I am in the process of replacing most of the carpeting with wood floors. I find that the wood really opens up the rooms to appear larger. (I cannot replace all of the carpet due to the awful noise and stress for my kitties.)

  14. Very sweet home. I am not sure I agree with the larger pieces of furniture in a small space but she has done her very nicely. Large pieces of furniture do not feel cozy to me in small spaces.
    I love her choice of colors. Happy Monday.
    Kris
