A Cool & Contemporary Family Home Designed For Easy Living

“When I walk inside this house, I want to pinch myself. It’s exactly what I envisioned” says Veronica Martin, partner at Two Fold Interiors. When the designer moved from Ottawa and purchased this Ronscesvalles house in Toronto’s west end, the dated interior was in desperate need of a change. Veronica removed the interior walls and created a modern open-concept home that she describes as “easy living.” See the striking main floor features like beautiful archways, leather finish marble and architectural lighting. Plus, don’t miss the guest suite upstairs that was once her design firm’s office.

I love the home, its elegant yet family friendly. I find monotones relaxing but I would add some more touches of colorful furnishings. Only one bathroom is a deal breaker.

It is lovely downstairs. Leave the little daughter the attic bedroom, or swap with sister! Loved the little wall lights. Who cares what’s visible from the street. Close the curtains or if they’re too sheer install blinds too.

This home is an absolute triumph! Bravo 👏 I love the simplicity, high quality natural materials and thoughtfulness. It have my lots of ideas for our renovation.

[ChewieTomatoes]

You had me until you said all four of you share one bathroom. 😂

I love the dining table, the headboard idea in the master bedroom, and the bench cushion sofa. Also nice monochromatic bathroom. Very warm feeling from this minimalist home. That is why one hires a designer - they keep everything coherent to an overall idea and a feel of the whole home.

A sofa bed for the daughter and a large space with 2 beds for the guests. Plus the light fixture for other people to view through the window. And an all beige interior, because that’s what everyone does.
I think this house was built with people in mind who are not living in the house

I literally used the guest room as a pallette for my master bedroom. It is breath taking.

All these renovations look identical, all great but would love to see some eclectic, collected, interiors for a change

[Thisnthat]

Love the softness in this design, calm and relaxing.

Hallelujah! Finally, a non-white kitchen. Beautiful home. Love the archway in the entry, but if feels so narrow in scale relative to the open spaces on the rest of the main floor.

Fabulous home and incredible change. Thank you capturing and allowing us to see your lovely home❤❤

The vestibule and archway are a blessing. They build new infills with this particular layout. Presumably economic use of space but I cannot stand seeing the entire house from the entryway. Not to mention the draft on my ankles.

Gorgeous! While neutral, there is so much interest!

[donnaallgaier-lamberti]

I do love the your NEUTRAL; calm, soft and light color scheme. This will be timeless. I love the bell light fixture-I have a older look drum light that needs to be replaced. I have a round dining room table so I want a round, large light fixture.

Not sure about 4 sharing a bathroom! I couldn't do that even on holiday!

[tchilds]

What a lovely renovation. The only changes I would have made is antique brass tapware and fittings in the bathroom instead of black, for a softer look - and I would have made the bathroom cabinets a similar colour to the down stairs dining chairs….again to soften the look. Also I would replace the wardrobe sliding doors in the primary bedroom with proper floor to ceiling doors. Would look so much better.

Two upholstered chairs at the dining table ends will allow seating for 10 and add a nice detail.

Where is the painting in the dining room from? Very cool

[danieltodeschini]

The favorite daughter has the nicest bedroom :)

This is just lovely, so many beautiful little moments, and the artwork in the dining room is mesmerising, I can’t remember the name for the style (with lines) but would love to know who this particular artist is if anyone knows? Although I’m in Australia and guessing this may be a Canadian artist. Love that the husband has the guitar and vinyl too - lovely touches.
