House tour: Whimsical white cottage
Two designers work around the clock to fill a coastal-inspired cottage with the spirit of Christmas for a very special family.
It sounds like nothing short of a Christmas miracle: arriving home during the busy holiday season to find that everything – from the tree to the table – has been decked out for Santa. And, no, not merely put together by elves but beautifully finished by real-life designers. That’s what happened to the owners of this bright and modern cottage located on British Columbia’s majestic Sunshine Coast.
But in this case, the homeowners, Canadian expats who live in Bermuda, admittedly knew what was coming. They enlisted Nicole Mah and Kelly Deck of Vancouver’s Kelly Deck Design to decorate the 4,500-square-foot house for the holidays, but gave the designers carte blanche so the decor would be a complete surprise when they arrived after a long flight.
Using the cottage’s subdued colour scheme – inspired by sea glass from the beaches of Bermuda – and its contemporary, comfortable vibe as the starting point, Nicole and Kelly focused on a natural theme to keep things simple and fresh and in line with the coastal setting.
