The living room exemplifies the condo’s slightly industrial minimalist look, with its soaring 12-foot-high ceilings, bright white walls and concrete floors. Patti designed the simple yet impactful light fixture.
In the living room, a 1950s Danish table holds two vintage German vases.
Before the vintage chair wasn't placed properly so it got lost in the background.
Vintage Bauer and McCoy pots displayed on open shelving in the living room serve as art. “I didn’t want to hang a painting above the fireplace, so, to me, that grouping is like a piece of artwork that’s part of the fireplace wall,” says homeowner Patti Redford.
The previous display of Patti's collection of pots made the house look cluttered.
Patti’s collection of Bauer and McCoy pots, housed on floor-to-ceiling built-in shelves in her office and the living room, adds both colour and interest. “I spread them out over two walls because I wanted them to look like they were continuing around the corner like an art installation,” says Patti.
Before the antique bench looked like a regular coffee table.
The antique bench in Patti’s home office provides a spot for display and artwork. “I keep magazines and books there, and sometimes flowers and artwork like that little painting,” she says.
In Patti’s office, a late-1800s desk is paired with a vintage Eames swivel chair. “It’s interesting how the two eras mix together so well,” she says. The office has a clean and organized look.
The kitchen design boasts a classic yet modern vibe with elements like the glass-panelled Shaker-style cabinetry, commercial-look range and range hood, square knobs, rectangular pulls, quartz countertops and concrete floors.
Previously, the dining area was small and crowded.
The dining area’s Danish teak dining table, surrounded by a set of Eames chairs, can be extended to seat 12. “I was going to get a walnut table made, and then when I saw this vintage one, I thought, This is it. When you know, you just know,” says Patti.
Before the chair was hidden in a corner and it blended with the floor.
Patti turned an open alcove next to the kitchen into a china cabinet where she stores more dishware, including her beautiful collection of milk glass. In her husband’s home office down the hall, the club chair is one of the few items the couple has kept over the years. “We love its classic shape and colour, which becomes warmer and richer as it ages,” says Patti.
