One of the privileges of being a magazine editor (as I was for many years) is that the odd time, you get to feature something of your own personal experience.
This home sits around the corner from my own and I have always admired it - as most people in our neighbourhood do.
A few winters ago we captured it on film for Gardening Life magazine.
The use of red against the winter snow is fantastic and looks great well beyond the holidays.
Our neighbours make the most of their little cottage in the city and really know how to create charm without fuss.
Even the big city blogs agree as it was featured in Habitually Chic this past December. Who says the suburbs aren’t chic?

Hi Sandra, there is a link now on my Drapery page (http://www.cobistyle.com/index.php/cobistyle/drapery) that will take you directly to the Q Design site where the fabrics are all shown very clearly. I hope you like! Thanks for your interest. Cobi.
I’ve also admired this house, and most definitely, there are many charming homes in the ‘burbs that go against the stereotype held by many of us.
Yes, I remember this home and think it is so charming and beautiful. Some homes just have it without even trying.
I can’t wait to see your new fabric collection and wonder if we will be able to view it on your website?
Sandra
