Name: Jaclyn Madar
Location: Griffintown — Montreal, QC
Size: 1,019 square feet
Years lived in: 1 year, owned
Jaclyn Madar is an obstetrician and surgeon who just purchased her first real “grown-up” bachelorette apartment. A space with industrial, modern architecture, she decorated it with an eclectic vintage flair… while still having it look pulled together. She’s spunky, stylish and extremely smart, and that shows through beautifully in her home decor. Even better are the bold color combos throughout the white-walled home: A cabinet painted pink contrasts with bright blue chairs and art in the living room. And an emerald green wallpaper flirts with a magenta closet door in the bedroom.
With the help of her interior designer Adrianne Drazin (she met via Houzz and they hit it off right away), they designed a space that represents Jaclyn’s values and personal taste. Her place is colorful and bold, as well as filled with sentimental items and knick-knacks that work as a whole.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Spirited Vintage
Inspiration: Anthropologie
Favorite Element: My vintage rugs
Biggest Challenge: As an obstetrician, the biggest challenge was trying to find time in my busy and amazing schedule to meet with my super talented designer Adrianne. We did find time and the result is wonderful!
What Friends Say: “Wow this place is so you.”
Biggest Embarrassment: The same three boxes sitting in my living room from when I moved in… (not shown in the photos—we moved them around for the shoot.)
Proudest DIY: A collaboration with my designer—hanging my gallery portrait wall.
Biggest Indulgence: Having my antique china cabinet refinished and painted pink!
Best Advice: Be true to yourself when it comes to your home; others’ opinions don’t matter.
Dream Sources: Anthropologie if they shipped furniture to Canada.
