This Church Conversion Townhouse Is A Must-See!

When designer Natalie Chong of Nest Design Studio saw this one-of-a-kind property in downtown Toronto, it was love at first sight — and you can understand why. The church conversion townhouse boasts stunning architectural details like high ceilings, wood trestles and arched windows, which makes it a gem in the city. Natalie opted for a monochromatic palette and masterfully mixed textures. Tour the cozy living room with handsome leather chairs and a faux fireplace with stacks of wood, and see how she updated the kitchen with antique brass finishes and black hardware. You'll love the edgy powder room and hip bar area, too. Then, explore the Instagram-worthy bedrooms and bathrooms, laundry room and closet on the other three floors!

I would be jumping up and down screaming if I could live in a place (& furnished) like that. I'd never leave; i would have to work from home. Simply beautiful.

When she started talking about working with the granite's undertones my heart fluttered. Thank you for preserving the original historic architecture and working WITH it. So many lazy designers, including some featured on this channel, would slap on white paint and try to force it into their favorite trendy, uncreative color scheme. Bravo.

Natalie Chong is a genius! I love the way she makes design lemonade out of design lemons.

That space is absolutely stunning and she did such a great job complementing the architectural features! Wow!

I'm really amazed at the talent of some people who could just pick different pieces and make a beautiful cohesive space. I on the other hand, struggle choosing a sofa.

[jenniferprevost]

That space is unbelievable. Wowwww! I love the brick, columns, and architectural details. She did a great job.

One thing you have to appreciate in this is, not only the gorgeous architectural value of what the space used to be, but that it was converted into a genius living space. Trust Natalie Chong to throw her back into it when designing the space and not being afraid to just go for it.

Natalie is such a joy to watch. I also love that her designs are beautiful, considered and show a genuine appreciation for what was already there. I love that she also embraces the reality: there's not quite enough room on the couch for 2 and not quite enough room for that 4th chair around the round table - it makes me feel better about those niggles in my own home that are just never going to be perfect! Something can be beautiful and inspiring and imperfect at the same time. She's wonderful.

I'd be so distracted living in a space like this. Probably spend all my time staring at the ceiling or woodwork.

I love this house as much as Natalie Chong!!! She's one of my fav designer featured in H&H and I love her home because it has so much character!!! Love her bathroom and Master bedroom for the space and amazing windows.

I LOVE Natalie's taste. What a home!

[sophien]

Using velcro to hide the electronics behind the TV is genius!

[ellie]

Really blown away. Natalie's warm and lovely personality just guiding you throw the loft as if you were there in person 👌

[annpancha]

Outstanding architectural character and the interior design takes it to another level.

A church convertion? I had to watch. Love the beautiful high ceilings and the space. Such a cozy home. And that art gallery room is the piéce de résistance.
