I think I can answer some questions here, as I worked with Justine on the reno...

@mosaicwench: the neon sign reads "pork"...an homage to one of Angus' favourite food groups!

@rebecca guss, @sarahemilypea is right...Justine was pregnant when the tour was done, and is just 2 weeks old now...so quite a while before he can get his little fingers on everything!

@Seshat: the master bedroom duvet is from West Elm.

@William Julius: many of the photographs throughout the house (including that one) are by Justine's dad! He's a wonderful photographer...

Hope that helps everyone! Glad you've enjoyed Justine and Angus' home as much as I have.

Courtney here again...
@stargazyrr - thanks! The cuckoo clock was purchased that way from Studio Brillantine, here in Toronto. I don't think they stock it any more, but it looks like there is a similar one online at Urban Outfitters these days

@lhdun421 - If Trevor and I were to have my studio as a bedroom, we'd be sharing a twin size bed right now - not so romantic...
It's a teeny room with a ton of natural light, so it was a logical decision. As I mentioned in the piece, we both love sleeping high up in lofted spaces; it's not for the faint of heart, but it is different and fun. And I'll take crazy over boring any day of the week!

Thanks for all of your nice comments folks - cocktails at our house!

Hi stinkypants, you are right-o....
The house was featured on design*sponge and hgtv canada back in the summer ((http://bit.ly/hHjMrR). It was shot in June with proper lighting, versus dreary December, which would account for the brightness. The pillows get changed up seasonally, depending on our mood and decor....

Good memory!

Hello all - Homeowner here!
Thank you so much for the very lovely comments-I'm happy to show you around...
To answer some of your questions:

@ccatx - the shoe rack came from IKEA, but I've searched and searched and cannot find it anywhere online. I think it was a "now or never" situation, and they may no longer stock it. Sorry!

@Melissa de la Fuente- the golden horse sadly only lasted as long as gravity would allow. I snatched it from an Hermes pop-up store party, and intend on getting it refilled soon, so it can float in all it's glory once again.

The draft dodger is - you guessed it - a mini mountain range! It's a replica of The Remarkables mountain range in Queenstown, New Zealand, and I hauled it home in my suitcase after having the pleasure of seeing them first-hand.

@ryumama-the metal of the kitty cabinet was cut with a jigsaw. I handed that task to someone else, but if you have the right tools, it's completely do-able. Just be sure to fit it with a plastic dog door frame so kitty doesn't hurt herself as she exits the loo.
