Home tour- A downtown Toronto Victorian home with global flair!

This three levels downtown Toronto Victorian with 2,000 square feet home belongs to designer Samantha Sacks and her family. When they purchased this home eight years ago, the home was move-in-ready but lacked storage space. She intended to make it beautiful and functional, all in a budget. Using a combination of affordable and luxury pieces with global flair and organic textures, she skillfully transformed the space into a youthful and modern residence that pays homage to its home heritage. Let's take a look.

Isn't her home gorgeous and stylish? I really like how she layered pops of bright colors and lots of patterns with a few global pieces for an eclectic, interesting mix in her home. It still feels visually exciting yet family friendly at the same time. Your thoughts?

    I love that colorful upholstered headboard! I think the first picture is my favorite. I gotta say I think the artwork in the dining room is creepy- lol. But it's a beautifully decorated house- I love it!

    She has done a marvelous job. It feels airy and cheerful yet the stain glass window honours the age of the home. Beautiful

    Some wonderful fabrics. Bright and happy. But how anybody can have a rug under their dining table, especially in a family home, is quite beyond me. How do they keep it clean?
