Interior: Simple holiday style

A seven-minute walk is all that separates Stephanie Vogler’s Yaletown apartment from the Cross Decor & Design, the decor store she co-owns with her friend Darci Ilich. But as she strolls home after a day at the shop, Stephanie consciously uses the short time to set thoughts of business behind her. “I love my work and I love playing with textures and colours, but I want home to be about spending time with my family,” she says, referring to her husband, John Pierce, and their two children, Hudson, 5, and Emerson, 4. To aid in her goal, Stephanie lets simplicity be her guide. “Everything at home is casual and spontaneous,” she says – a philosophy that’s especially true during the holidays.
