15. Home to stay! Celebrate Showhomes styled this Shaugnessy home for a new Canadian family…by Jianni Fletcher

Another one of our custom home make-overs was needed for this project.

This luxurious pre-furnished home in Shaugnessy’s elite neighborhood, that an asian buyer and his family had just moved into, was the setting for another makeover by the Celebrate Showhomes team.   This young asian family found out about us by way of Kathy Wang, a relocation specialist who has worked on many relocation stylings with our close friend Lani Clark Morand, an amazing stylist in her own right. Lani specifically recommended our talents for this project. No home being too big or too small for us, we accepted it gratefully.

At first sight it looked professionally decored, but lacked symmetry, color and accents to show forth its full potential.

Our ace painter/venetian plaster specialist, Darrell Morrison, first laid the backdrop to the styling with colors that harmonized well with the decor pieces we brought in. His scope and expertise extend far beyond his masterful painting skills that have complimented the greater portion of our stylings over the years.

Next, Alexandra and Debbie took the matter well in hand and provided the charge of life that each room in the house was in need of. We brought in a sofa, tables, lamps, chairs, artwork, customized the existing curtains and brought in new curtains where they were lacking. We also raised and dressed the beds and improved the scale, style and color accents of all the rooms in the house.

Speaking very little english we received the thumbs-up approval from the owners, and as in many of our past stylings, the kids were over the top excited with the transformation not just in their rooms but in the overall inviting warmth and cheeriness of the house.

Here are the results:
