Two Sisters Bring Whimsy And Color To A Family Home

In this home transformation, Principal Designer Olivia Botrie and her sister, Jenna Botrie, Business Manager of Dart Studio, come together to bring a fun and fresh facelift to Jenna’s home in Toronto’s East end. “Every room is so different,” says Jenna, who wanted each room to tell a unique story.

Botrie sisters - 2 for the price of one! Beautiful home and yay to the banqette! Don't love the 2 sofas/TV area. But if the homeowners love their decisions, who am I to judge Every element seems well thought out and personal to them. Another beautiful project by Olivia.

Having the dining room with the colourful floral wallpaper makes it stand out which is perfect.
I don't like stools / bar chairs at an island. Generally uncomfortable to sit on. In my opinion, the kitchen island is a meal preparation space not a hosting space. I don't have seating at my kitchen island.
My home is open plan and my dining table chairs are one big step away from the edge of the island benchtop.
Kudos for making your home fit your needs and tastes.

I really love Olivia's upbeat and energetic vibe and I would die to be her friend. However I think I would need to take a nap after being with her for a few hours.

How is the kitchen not everyone’s cup of tea?? It’s been literally all over the internet for a several years now.

I hate stools at the island. I understand they are helpful for limited seating spaces but I regret my decision to incorporate that look into my kitchen. There are too many chairs. I love the wallpaper. It reminds me of murano glass.

I guess the wallpaper was the only thing that was colorful and whimsical

[gigif]

Nicely done with warm vintage 30's vibes. Love the banquet area, but would change the table & chairs. They seem a bit bright white for the space. I would have loved chairs that pulled a color from the gorgeous wall paper in the dining room. I'm not sure why, but the dinning room table seems under scaled.
Yes, a glass pocket door for a half bath on a main floor is a very odd design choice. Thank goodness they changed that.

Is the color and whimsy in the room with us?

So beautiful! Could you please share the wallpaper info? Thank you
