The homeowners of this condo sought our assistance when downsizing from a large family home on Howe Sound to a small urban condo in Lower Lonsdale, North Vancouver. They asked us to incorporate many of their precious antiques and art pieces into the new design. Our challenges here were twofold; first, how to deal with the unconventional curved floor plan with vast South facing windows that provide a 180 degree view of downtown Vancouver, and second, how to successfully merge an eclectic collection of antique pieces into a modern setting. We began by updating most of their artwork with new matting and framing. We created a gallery effect by grouping like artwork together and displaying larger pieces on the sections of wall between the windows, lighting them with black wall sconces for a graphic effect. We re-upholstered their antique seating with more contemporary fabrics choices - a gray flannel on their Victorian fainting couch and a fun orange chenille animal print on their Louis style chairs. We selected black as an accent colour for many of the accessories as well as the dining room wall to give the space a sophisticated modern edge. The new pieces that we added, including the sofa, coffee table and dining light fixture are mid century inspired, bridging the gap between old and new. White walls and understated wallpaper provide the perfect backdrop for the colourful mix of antique pieces. Interior Design by Lori Steeves, Simply Home Decorating.

CRESCENTA VALLEY WEEKLY: The Many Stories of Showcase House . . . http://www.crescentavalleyweekly.com/leisure/05/07/2017/many-stories-showcase-house/ . . . Each room has a story to tell, some more pronounced than others. One such story takes place in the library of the house, designed by Aaron B Duke. This library would not look out of place in Allan Quatermain’s or Teddy Roosevelt’s respective residences. Pale brown built-in bookshelves line the walls, a black ivory-handled magnifying glass lies next to a pair of cigars in a crystal ash tray, a plush canvas sofa with animal print throw pillows are on a fine imported rug, bamboo plants in front of windows cast long shadows from the corner of the room and a cowboy hat and boots rest near the wicker chairs, all surrounded by large vases. The story the room tells is one of a man with good taste, who is well-traveled and honored for his accomplishments. In fact, there is a picture resting on the fireplace of such a man. “My partner was in a relationship with someone for 17 years, and he started this little company with a guy named Ralph Lipschitz, you may know him as Ralph Lauren,” Duke explained. “Jerry [Robertson] was the tastemaker for Ralph and he designed the first flagship store in New York. He then was the president of Ralph [Lauren] over in Europe until he passed away in 2009. When I came to Showcase House I had no idea what I was going to do, and then I sat in here and thought, ‘This is the Jerry Robertson library.’ So this is my homage to him.” . . .
