The Candice Olson Loft, Part 2

Yesterday, I posted about Brandon Barré’s loft that was designed by Candice Olson. It just went up for sale in downtown Toronto — you can check it out in the MLS listings and on the realtor's web site.

Brandon sent me more pictures and some details about the loft to share with you :-) Here are Candice’s renderings of the space that she designed…

Some details about the loft from Brandon:

  • One-of-a-kind walk-up split level loft with 17' ceilings.
  • 15' of custom built in cabinetry consisting of a 9' Italian tile clad water wall above a remote-operated gas fireplace, flanked by the stained solid oak cabinetry with under-shelf lighting & concealed storage below.

  • Featured in Homes Magazine and the book "Inspired Lives" which covers the top 20 most highly regarded Interior Designers of our time.
  • On a quiet cul-de-sac right downtown with a lush courtyard.
  • Hunter Douglas blinds throughout.
  • Italian lighting from Eurofase throughout main living area.
  • Blanco faucet and sink in kitchen.

So why is Brandon selling his gorgeous loft?? In his words… It's going to be very hard giving this place up!! We both work from home to some extent and needed more room to facilitate both live/work for 2 people.

Brandon was recently interviewed by Rita Zekas of the Toronto Star, and a feature story about his loft will be in this Saturday’s edition of the paper. Hope it’s online too!!

Candice designed the loft for photographer Brandon Barré (you can read my interview with Brandon here). You might remember seeing Candice transform Brandon’s loft on an episode of Divine Design

Not on the market for a Toronto loft?? That’s OK, if you’re in the GTA, you can still drop by during the open house this weekend (Saturday and Sunday from 2:00PM–4:00PM) and check out Candice’s work in person :-)

Not in Toronto?? Well, I can’t help you out there ;-) But I CAN show you some pics of Brandon’s beautiful loft :-)

I seem to recall that there’s a water feature above the fireplace…

Love the huge artwork. Go big or go home!!

loft 5

It’s nice to see appliances that aren’t stainless steel for a change!!

If you go to the open house, I’d love to hear what you think of the loft. And if you buy the loft, I want to be your new BFF!! ;-)

Photos by Brandon Barré

Back to colour!!

After yesterday’s all-white post, I’m feeling the need for some colour

Ahhhhhh!!! Much better!! White rooms can be beautiful, but for me, nothing beats bold & bright colour :-)

I came across a couple of pictures at Delight By Design that caught my eye — can’t control my love for purple!! I really like the way the photos in the first picture are grouped on the wall, how they add another dimension to the patterned wallpaper, and the way they’re reflected in the mirror. There’s a lot going on, but I think it all works…

I love everything in this next picture, which may be the other end of the above room. The dark crown molding and window trim, circular windows, the way the wallpaper is carried around the windows, the flowy purple curtains… and most of all, I LOVE that bench!! The shade of green is just perfect, and the criss-cross metal legs add a touch of modern to the room…

Who says blue & green must never be seen?? Not me!!
