DESIGN
A classic white kitchen with framed cabinetry and white Calcutta marble countertops complements the home’s traditional elements. A custom marble mosaic on the back of the island acts as powerful art in a neutral colour scheme. In the dining room, Jamie uses a Gracie wallpaper with bird motif and creates 8-foot window panels to act as the focal point of the room. Rather than use it on all the walls, the panels bring strength to the windows. Jamie found a complementary orange and silver floral Bergamo fabric for the draperies in the formal setting. Jamie tactfully creates interest by combining several different styles of chairs in the dining room, giving the room unexpected charm, a true signature of Jamie’s style. ABOVE There’s no need for a rug under the table as the intricate hardwood floors continue uninterrupted from the foyer.
