Princess Margaret Showhouse by Brian Gluckenstein

OK - I'm probably the last person to blog about this house, but I've only just found my images - amazing what you find when you're weeding through things.  Including my very, very large selection of images.  At any rate, I love this home and the colour palette.  These are my colours lately for everything from clothes to décor.  I just find it soothing - and in this very sophisticated.  See for yourself.

This house design was used once before by the Princess Margaret foundation but with a completely different look inside. 

 

Located in Oakville, Ontario (like all the homes so far). 

 

 

I love this picture gallery hallway.

 

 

 

 

Love the pictures on the shelves to the left. 

 

 

 

 

 

The hallway and dining area.  Those dining chairs.... I would love those.

 

Love the big window and the dark grey painted interior of the cupboards.

 

 

The Library is a double height library - an idea he must have gotten from his own home.

 

 

Such an elegant home.

 

 

House & Home for a tour with Brian himself.

 

Brian Gluckenstein is like the Canadian version of Ralph Lauren.  Well without the fashion part.  Still he's all life style home décor and boy do I have a thing for his products and home designs.  I haven't seen one I didn't like yet.  There are so many rooms I didn't showcase so check out the link above for more images.

 

 

2011 Princess Margaret Show House - Part Deux

While this house is lovely, the exterior and basement are my favourites so these are the areas I'm going to showcase.  If you want to see more images click here.

An elegant almost French chateau style home.

I love all the French doors out the back.

The comfy basement room.

Wine Tasting Room.

Laundry Room

Who wouldn't want this?  A portion of the laundry room includes room for crafts, gift wrapping and sewing (not shown).  There's even a TV.

I could spend hours in his store...

I love the cozy cocoon feeling that this room emotes.  Even though it's all in white, I picture a fire in the fireplace, a glass of wine, a good book, snuggling up on the soft white sofa, soft lighting reflecting off the mirrors.  I could go on and on.

“The concept of the shop that opened its doors in the Spring of 2000 was to provide the public and interior designers a store that contained all the props for interior design. Toronto, being a rapidly expanding city, held the need for more high end shops that were capable of catering to an ever more sophisticated clientele. “

These images are from his home that he has above the store.  House & Home also did a video segment of the apartment so if you want a more intimate look, follow the link below.
