Condo tour: Bright, contemporary Vancouver condo
Doses of pattern, texture and bold colour add life and energy to this contemporary Vancouver condo.
When Jo-Ann Stansfield first contacted Vancouver design firm Riesco & Lapres Interior Design, the dust had barely settled on a months-long renovation on her 1,590-square-foot, condo near Stanley Park. But even after the home renovation, the space didn't quite feel like home. A few years earlier, Jo-Ann and her late husband, Hugh, had sold their family home in Kelowna, B.C., and every stick of furniture along with it, so the condo was sparsely furnished and had little of significance in it.Jo-Ann needed guidance to create a new home for herself - one that honoured her past but looked forward as well. With the help of associate designer Catherine Radcliffe, the goal was to make the condo cozy enough for evenings spent in quiet solitude but also suitable for accommodating lots of guests -- namely Jo-Ann's four grown sons, their significant others and her energetic three-year-old granddaughter.
Now, the condo has plenty of life and colour, with every piece considered carefully. "There are no pretty props here just for show," says Catherine. Jo-Ann agrees: "Everything had to earn its place."
