INTERIOR DESIGN: Anne-Marie Brunet, CKDB, CAPS - Sheridan Interiors, Kitchens + Baths

This new home, on the banks of the Ottawa river, is the culmination of a couple's life's work. The home's overall style is transitional with simple classic lines that will stand the test of time. A nod to her east coast roots is evident in the powder room, with the natural cherry wood custom vanity, ladder towel rack and small wood picture frames featuring local scenes. The sunroom/grill room, casual in style and comfort, looks out onto the river and was a perfect spot to add her favourite nautical 'objets'. The rest of the home takes on a quiet elegance with neutral toned furniture and ocean blue accents.
