[ lottery home ]

FOR THE past 6 years, Lynda Reeves and her team at Canadian House and Home have designed the showhouse for the Princess Margaret Hospital Fall Lottery in Toronto. I've been lucky enough to tour many of them in Oakville, Ontario when the tickets have gone on sale, though this year I'll have to dream through the pages of the magazine. Sadly I've never won, but it's always nice to buy a ticket and have the money go to a worthy cause.

This year's home is based on the idea of a stone farmhouse, mixed with modern touches for family living...


Even though it's described as modern, I find it has just the right mix to make it really warm and inviting. The colour palette is so welcoming and I love the contrast of the black doors, windows and cabinetry used with all the white and natural elements.

I'd be thrilled to be holding the winning ticket on this one! What about you?

Gorgeous!! What a fab mix of styles. It's got a clean line feeling, but still so warm. I love supporting worthy causes like that. We always go to a local wine festival that supports the children's museum programs. There's always raffles (that I never win) but it's fun and going to a good cause.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! ;-)

What a lovely house, I love the design from outside and the wee hedge in front, it softens the look of the home. Also the facade is nice as the side sections are stepped back thereby not making it look too large. Beautiful...

All things nice...
