A couple of weeks ago, my friend Michelle at A Schematic Life posted a picture of a beautiful space on Facebook…
Don’t you just want to run up those stairs and see what other beauty is in store?! Well, you can! This is the home of BC interior designer Dawna Jones, and she kindly said Yes when I asked her if I could feature her home on my blog. Dawna had me at her front door…
And those stairs? They lead up to this gorgeous space:
How’s this for a room with a view?!
Not one, not two, but THREE gorgeous sparkly crystal chandeliers in the kitchen:
My dream home would have a wall of doors that open wide to a beautiful outdoor patio.
The black, white, & grey colour palette is carried throughout Dawna’s home.
The wood warms things up and adds a nice organic element to the rooms.
A beautiful change from the more typical white laundry room.
Such a beautiful and unusual sink in the powder room.
I love the look of the long horizontal window high up on the wall in Dawna’s media room.
That’s a view I’d love to wake up to every morning!
Thank you to Dawna for allowing me to share her beautiful home with you, and to Michelle for posting the picture of Dawna’s home :-) Check out Dawna’s web site to see more of her beautiful design work.
On another note, I was so excited a couple of days ago when I discovered that there’s a new Annie Sloan Chalk Paint stockist right here in Ottawa. WOOT! We may not have West Elm or Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn or any other good home decor stores, but we have Malenka! I picked up three cans of paint and a dark wax this morning, so you know what that means – more furniture makeovers coming soon! And I’ll finally be showing you my little chair on Monday.
Happy weekend!

Beautiful space. Yeah, I could live there. 8)
ReplyDeleteI am completely in awe of Dawna's home! Love her use of beautiful black mixed with the wood accents, and loooove her staircase. What an incredible jewel. Thank you so much, Kelly for taking the initiative to delve further, and to Dawna for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat view - spectacular! Mountains and water - so jealous!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kelly I'm honored that you as well as others like my home!!!!It has been a definite labor of love.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL home! Out of curiosity, perhaps you or Dawna can share the type of flooring used in the kitchen space. THANK YOU! -Brenda-
ReplyDeleteWow. What a showplace. Almost futuristic, yet warm and inviting. Anyone who thinks black and white is a ho-hum color scheme should take a glance at these photos, and see how it's done right. Thanks for the show.
ReplyDeleteWow! Dawna's home is absolutely stunning. The view is beyond words, the boldness of the interior is amazing. Great post!
