@Real_EstateInfo Hilarious, but so very wise!
Expert Condo Makeover
From blank slate to a work of art
by Tobi Brockway
A large cavernous living room dominated by an imposing fireplace left our clients in a quandary: how to furnish it in a way that reflected their tastes for minimal accessories yet felt cozy at the same time.
The colour palette that was selected consisted of soft warm greys and creams combined with dark wood to provide the serene ambiance, together with dashes of red and gold (to tie in the colours of the existing furniture) found in the accessories only – rugs and toss cushions. Curves, typical of the Art Deco period that our clients felt an affinity for, are found in the shape of the sofa and chairs, the “ribbon” coffee table, and the mirror.
On the other side of the living room, the design details continue: the silk swirls in the beautiful wood rug, the curved legs of the occasional table, the contours of the table lamp. An empty corner becomes a conversation area during a cocktail party.
Our clients are thrilled with the results – living and dining rooms that calm and inspire, that provide comfort for the family on a day-to-day basis, as well as chic style for formal entertaining.

Teeny Tiny Bedroom re-do
Maximizing small spaces
When a Toronto-born university student came home to Mom for weekends and holidays, she had to study and sleep within the confines of a tiny bedroom. Things were very tight.
We went back to the drawing board to re-jig the floor plan, and chose furniture and accessories which maximized storage and workspace. In the process, we were able to provide comfortable place to sleep and a slick up-to-the-minute ambience.
The student was ecstatic with the result. There was a place for everything, and the clean lines and simple decor kept everything looking neat.
