Clean lines, flat surfaces, and high gloss cabinets give this kitchen renovation a contemporary look. Prior to this transformation, the kitchen was an outdated space that needed some help. Designer Nicky Allen of Staging Spaces reworked the layout of the appliances to provide more counter workspace, while keeping within the original kitchen footprint. An office […]
It’s a weekday evening and Sean Gorman is in the garage-turned-workshop of his St. John’s home, door open, truck parked in the driveway, a newly completed piece of furniture on a workbench. The shop is well laid out and cozy, built for the needs of a single craftsman plying his trade. And this is his […]
Wayne and Martina Hanlon had no intention of building a cabin on their piece of land near Whitbourne. It was just a place where they could escape the city, get into the woods and play with their toys – snow machines and the like – without having to haul everything back and forth. They had […]
The cabin on the outskirts of Holyrood is nearly 40 years old, says current owner John Harris during the half-hour walk in over a snow machine trail that, in the summer, is a road. The pickup truck is parked a few kilometres away, about as close as it gets at this time of year. Between […]
Boutique hotels inspired this glam bedroom redesign by Charli Junker of Your Space Our Design, who transformed it from 90s-era stale to modern-day chic. The bedroom fireplace looked like a bread oven before the renovation, says Charli. It was given an update by building it out with a stone wall, adding depth to give the […]

Finished paintings cover most walls in the home, with others stacked against a table near her painting area. An in-progress piece sits on her easel; a postcard-size photo nearby serves as a reference. Many artists […]
More than 100 years ago, Thomas Mouland returned to his home in Bonavista after a harrowing sealing trip during which 84 of his fellow sealers died after spending two nights on the ice without shelter. Sitting on an old wooden chair at the kitchen table, the home’s current owner, Ken Sooley, asks if I’ve read […]
The Greene residence has looked over the Tilting harbour for more than 100 years, its classic styling standing proud and unaltered as houses rose, fell and changed around it. The home was built by Aiden Greene’s grandfather, who also built much of the furniture in the home. Being a 19th century home, it didn’t have […]
Tracey Traverse isn’t really comfortable calling herself an artist. She has pieces for sale in a few shops but has a hard time calling them art. It doesn’t really matter what she calls them, though, since art is largely in the eye of the beholder. She makes things, both decorative and functional, and although she’ll […]
