House tour: Bold exotic Edwardian

An eclectic mix of colour, pattern and texture is perfectly fitting for this blended family's first home.

 

This is a story of a lovely lady, bringing up one very lovely girl, who met a man - no, not named Brady - who was busy with a boy and girl of his own. Fast-forward from falling in love to finding their dream house and (on much more than a hunch, as the song says) moving into their first blended-family home together, thus becoming a brand new bunch.

Three years ago, they found this spacious three-storey Edwardian house in midtown Toronto, and Shirley and her partner, Mitch Altman, were sold on the home's original moulding's and coffered ceiling as well as the fact that it had been modernized by its previous owners.

The fun part for this designer was delving into the decor. For an airy space with flourishes of sunny colours, Shirley had the dark oak mouldings and walls painted white. "I wanted it to feel bright and cheerful," she says.
