Name: Andrea
Location: Waterfront, Toronto, Ontario
When my (then) boyfriend and I moved into our condo it was a design disaster and had a strange layout, but we'd fallen in love with the 350 square foot terrace overlooking the lake and decided to do a full reno to make the place ours (and bring it into the 20th century).
We crossed our fingers that a wall separating the kitchen and unusable small den could be knocked out to open up the space. My husband and I are now moving to a house with our young son and we are somewhat sorry to leave the spectacular view and light-filled space we have created. It has been a 6-year work in progress and many touches were completed by my handy husband, including the guest washroom vanity and the polished concrete floors. I would say the style is a bit modern, a bit earthy, and a bit asian-influenced with some African themes too... maybe I should say it's eclectic?!
Thanks, Andrea!

Nice kitchen and floors - but the pix aren't doing the place any justice...
...I can't get a feel for the spaces from these photos.
I agree. It looks great (those dining chairs are amazing), but I can't get a proper feel for it at all.
I want that kitchen.
Look like a door knobs advertising...
Beautiful place but don't you mean 21st century? LOL!
House tour please?
Heck, if the terrace and view sold you on the place, I'd like to see them, too!
Love the seagulls mirror wall piece in #3 and the butterflies in #4
I want to see the view, too! House tour! House tour! (Also, I'd love to see some "before" pictures to see what you were dealing with before you made everything beautiful.)
I'd be sad to leave that space too! It looks spectacular. Is that a polished concrete floor in the living room? It's hard to tell from the pics, but god, it looks great.
That looks like the Gus Modern Thompson chair. Is it comfortable?
Once again, an intriguing feature is mentioned and there is not a single picture of it. This time it's the 350 ft terrace. I would really love to see what you did with that. Do you, perhaps, have a blog or Flikr account with pictures?
Yes the chairs are the Gus Modern Thompson chair. Here's the link. Gus Modern is having a 20% off sale this month. http://www.matthewizzo.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=17&products_id=4274
Nice space, but I'm not sure how 'eclectic' it is. That word seems to be over-used on house tours/calls recently.
Wish there were more to see...
like lal, i love the seagull-mirror thing in photo #3. where did it come from? thanks!
I'm not sure eclectic is exactly the right description either but it's really great and obviously well put together. What's the flooring in picture two?
Thanks for the comments everyone. I agree that maybe it's more modern than eclectic...
I have sent more photos, including shots of the terrace to the editors so hope they get posted. I was only able to load 4 or 5 the first submission, and honestly didn't even know this was posted for all to see!
The floors are polished concrete and Brazilian walnut in the kitchen. Chairs are very comfortable (Gus modern).
The seagull wall hanging was a lucky vintage find.
