There’s something about a modern wood cabin that continues to tug at my heart strings. In Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia, this contemporary cottage designed and owned by Frits de Vries Architects + Associates sits amongst the trees and along the Georgia Strait and is quite a sight. You would never know this home is only 1,450 square feet. Cedar, concrete, Douglas fir and floor to ceiling windows really set the stage for this cabin in the forest. So calming and peaceful.

I couldn’t help it. I had to share another Betsy Brown project. I’m drawn to the browns and honeys that play off the white, the warm woods, jute and Tuareg rugs, leather and velvet … an oasis of calm.

“A well suited home is a portrait of those who live within. The palette colored by life’s experiences, a graceful segue from solitude to public life. It is a place where one feels effortless alone or in the company of friends. Such a home is our aim. Its creation begins with inquiry into the patterns of daily living, understanding what is nurturing, stimulating, calming—what feels like home. It requires inspection of cherished objects, and introspection into cherished experiences.”

I love the houses that Betsy Brown and her team cast their spell over. Serene and sophisticated.

Toronto based designer Shauna Walton did a number on this modern home with lots of golden wood, neutral colour palette and tons of curves, as seen in furniture (that dining set is to die for), doorways, the simplest yet sexiest stove hood cover, bathroom vanities and so much more. The result is a stunning and warm family home. Photos: Lauren Miller.

What a wonderful kitchen this is!!! So bright with all the white, then add in that whole back section clad in wood and it takes this space to a whole other level of awesome. The warmth the wood adds really makes it feel cozy and lived in. The perfect family kitchen. Designed by April Tomlin Interiors. Photos: Paige Rumore.
