Two Toronto designers transform their century-old townhouse into a stylish masculine retreat.
Malcolm Patterson and Rodney Smith know a thing or two about style. As design afficionados who work with private clients, dress

Pure Design, hosted by
Style at Home contributing design editor Samantha Pynn), these guys have the inside scoop on where to shop and how to pull it all together. They've embraced their own open-concept
