Spacious P.E.I. Cottage

Designer and project coordinator Tanya Bonus reveals an oceanside family retreat she designed with the Sarah Richardson Design team. Tour the bright entryway with a fireplace as the focal point, open-concept living areas with floor-to-ceiling windows, luxurious kitchen with sea-blue tiles, cosy principal bedroom and colourful kids' rooms.

Sleek & Modern Kitchen

Homeowners Tim Gilbert and Jocelyn Mackie show off their gorgeous kitchen with modern cabinetry and nature-inspired accents. See how they warmed up contemporary white door-fronts with dark upper cabinets in a grey-brown tone, and topped the island with smooth marble for a polished look. Plus, learn how they added extra storage by extending custom cupboards to the entryway.

All-Canadian Paint Colours

Lynda Reeves chats with fashion designer Simon Chang about his new collection of versatile paint colours for Beauti-Tone. Learn which Canadian artists inspired the palettes and the new colours in the collection — from pops of Pacific coast blues to calming Maritime hues and earthy tones from the Eastern Townships.
