Artist and designer Martha Sturdy proves that modern minimalism can be cosy and timeless as she tours her spectacular West Vancouver home. Learn how she warmed up a new-build with furniture from China, ornate antiques, Japanese art and a worn brass dining table, among other finds. H&H editors Cameron MacNeil, Meg Crossley and Hilary Smyth reveal their all-time favourite dining tables and chairs. Find out why they're tired of matched sets, and which materials they're loving lately. Plus, Ryan Louis demonstrates how to make a simple rustic bench from a reclaimed wood beam.
