Back in 2017 Jo featured a home with knotty pine walls that has gotten lots of traffic ever since, and when I spotted the cottage of Barrie, ON based designer Ashley Montgomery I had to share another wonderful example of knotty pine done right. What was once her family’s horse stable (with stalls) outside of Toronto, then became storage, then was transformed into a cool “bunkie” or sorts that sleeps ten. The pine is original from when it was built in the 1950s, and was in such great condition it was simple cleaned and lacquered. She added in some flagstone on top of the concrete floors and with a colour scheme of black and white, it turned into a functional and modernized rustic space. Knotty pine at its finest.

From backsplash to bathroom vanity to floors- that house will never be clean.

I’d feel right at home then 😉

The title describes how I feel about heavily veined white marble as back splash or for shower stalls, etc. when there are other elements in the finished room that are clashing with that feature, not in a good way. This is different. There are so many things to like about the rooms that I almost stay unfocused from the walls (and fireplace surround). Thanks for the enlightenment!
