2009 Homes of Distinction Winter House Tour

Posted November 20 2009

This weekend is the first ever Homes of Distinction Winter House Tour in support of Niagara Life Centre! We're excited to have donated our time and materials to decorate one of the six houses on the tour.

The Leyenhorst home is a rustic manor that is proud of it's family heritage, featuring beams and hardwood floors milled from the property’s black walnut trees. In keeping with the home's character, we wanted the feel of our pieces to be ultra-natural ... almost as if they were a permanent part of the decor. We were also determined to use as much local and in-season product as possible.

Design Ingredients:
• Produce: local cauliflower, local apples, local chestnuts, cabbage, brussel sprouts, red mini potatoes and leeks.
• Foliages + Wood: bay, boxwood, carolina saphire, incense cedar, green dogwood, birch logs and curly willow.
• Flowers: hydrangeas, amaryllis and mokara orchids

Enjoy the pics!
