    Am I the only one who loved that there was so much white? It looks so much more spacey and minimal

    Wow - I am so surprised at all the negative comments. What a lot of work, and what a clean, well-designed space. I never liked pink as a little girl, and made my brother take it when ever possible, but oh well! What a nice, calm space for a busy family. It looks like it's easy to keep clean, gives everyone their own space, and is really well set up for family life. Great job! I'd go for a little more color but I appreciate the zen-ness of this.

    Commenting in 2021 -- I was honestly shocked at how long ago this design was posted. I sincerely thought she'd taken the 2021 Pantone colours of the year to heart and was prepared to see comments about 'trendiness' below, only to find that she was actually ahead of the curve. Pretty cool. I will say that I have some reservations about young children having bedrooms on a different floor than the parents, but I've known a lot of families who've made it work in the GTA/Oakville/Hamilton corridor as narrow townhouses took hold in recent years, so good enough. Very nice. :-)

    Anyway, this is much more realistic size of the house, than most of the US and Canadian interior design youtube videos. And I like It, because anybody can use this idea even in the small apartment. I have a house in the centre of a city in the middle of Europe..150m2 m, plus 50m2 garden...and It is quite luxury for our counry...to be honest, I don't need more space for our family of 4 plus dog and cat. Who wants to pay for heating, elekricity, cleaning...

    Looking at the layout of the interior. It looks like it's the same size as premium one bedroom apartment in North America. The difference is the fact that unlike apartments, they are able to get 2 story. And then the minimalist one tone color make it look bigger. They also have the backyard that made it look bigger.

Cool colors can be cozy and inviting when used in the right way and minimal doesn't have to mean cold or boring. Thumbs up for this beautiful home that disproves a lot of old decorating myths.

    The house is a gem 💎... seems like a 1bdrm up,2bdrm down space. My take away even though the house is small (for Vancouver) the furnishings were regular size and not too much stuff. Decorate for the space you have! Low ceilings= low furniture ...allowing the flow (openness) from the front of the house to the back 👍🏽. The kids I guess have their own little apartment downstairs!! Cool..

    I appreciate the fact that you put a lot of effort into your home. And I love the fact that it's not cluttered and it is neat, clean and tidy. But grey, white with yellow accents throughout the entire home leaves one feeling sterile and lifeless without any energy. Perhaps using dark flooring would help. I'm happy it works so well for you and your family. Perhaps one room of it would work for me, but not the entire house. Thank you for sharing.

It's probably messy and there is stuff everywhere but they cleaned up and made it look flawless for the cameras. And if any of you tell me that you'd never do that you lie! I love this house. Classy, clean and modern.

    We have a young daughter so it’s hard to keep everything cleaned up but once she grow up you can teach her a simple rule: « When you take something, always replace it when you found it after you finished using it ». It works ! And it’s a game changer ! Of course having only one child may be the reason why she is more disciplined and we’re worried to make a second ! lol
