In this Episode
Discover the recipe for a bold, open-concept home. Chef and food stylist Claire Stubbs opened up her cramped Toronto semi to make it more modern and airy — resizing or relocating nearly every wall, door, window and staircase in the process. See how she transformed the main floor with a walnut and marble dream kitchen, dining area for 12, modern fireplace wall, and a living room with a hidden TV. H&H style experts Cameron MacNeil, Sarah Hartill, Michael Penney and Morgan Michener reveal their favourite tile materials, patterns and colours. Plus, Dufflet Rosenberg shares her simple topping tip for pots de crème and a summer milkshake recipe with Amy Rosen.
