Escape To A Designer’s Cozy & Colorful Barn!

We know where we want to visit this weekend! Designer Emily Griffin takes you inside her barn on her family’s Balsam Lake property in the Kawarthas region. Adjacent to the designer’s 1970s Pan-Abode cottage inherited by her parents, the 1,600-square-foot barn-dorm is the ultimate hangout for teenagers and adults alike. You’ll love the vintage pool table, distinct Canadiana style (think: antique ski and snowshoes hanging on the wall) and repurposed staircase from Emily’s grandparents’ house. Plus, the upstairs loft can easily sleep up to 10 people, which is perfect for all of the cousins to hangout in and stay up late.

See more of this cozy and colorful barn in our July/August issue, on newsstands June 22.
