Inspired by Canada’s coastline, this nautical abode is now perfect for its growing family
Located in a seaside suburb in Canada, this nautical abode faces a park and the ocean, and enjoys mountain views beyond. However, it did not always boast such grand proportions or pretty interiors. Originally two neighbouring homes, the couple who lived in one purchased the house next door to accommodate their growing family with interior designer Kelly Deck creating its timeless look.
A young family’s bright and playful Queensland cottage renovation
For years, the couple who own this East Toowoomba home were happy traversing the globe, but with three young children and a pet Beagle to boot, the desire for a place to call home grew stronger. When they came across this traditional Queenslander it was love at first sight, with the home now lovingly refreshed.
