Princess Margaret Showhome

I was reading the Rock Paper Scissors blog over the weekend and swooned over the moody, dark kitchen shown in this post. I clicked through the photo source link and wasn't surprised to land on the Canadian House & Home site. H&H is a fantastic shelter mag that consistently showcases awesome interiors. Anyhow, the kitchen is from the 2010 Princess Margaret Showhome, which was featured in their December issue.

If it were my kitchen, I'd probably rather have a hard-working island rather than a table behind my range, but the look of the table is really gorgeous. I am really digging the paneled, semi-gloss ceiling...it definitely keeps the space from getting too heavy.

The bathrooms were standout spaces as well. I especially liked the following two that were clad with timeless, beautiful Carrera marble.

 The dark shower curtain in this one provides a nice does of contrast.



My favorite elements in this one are the flooring and the chandelier. The light fixture is very similar to the one used by Colleen McGill in the aforementioned entry-of-my-desire.

It's called the Convertible Double Canopy Chandelier and it was sourced from ELTE. You can also get it from Shades of Light (it's called the the Deco Glam Chandelier there).

A definite foil to the light and airy bathrooms, I also liked the study...especially the paint job!

Head over to H&H and take a tour of the whole house. I just cherry-picked the rooms that I liked best, but it's nice to see the whole thing. I'd love to know which rooms you liked best, so report back!
