Blue Mountains, Ontario

Georgian Valley Farmhouse

A romantic country farmhouse of murals, dusty rose and soft blue.

Set against the rolling hills of the Blue Mountains, this timber-framed retreat pairs the raw architecture of a modern barn — soaring oak ceilings, exposed trusses and a monumental stone hearth — with interiors that feel softly collected rather than decorated. Linen-toned sectionals and block-printed textiles play against natural stone in the great room, while a jewel-like lounge wrapped in a hand-painted scenic mural and dusty-rose lacquer offers an intimate, romantic counterpoint. The result is a home at once rugged and refined.

Rosedale, Toronto

181 Crescent Road

A 1902 century home, reimagined in 2015 — and still current a decade on.

A landmark Rosedale residence by architects Gordon & Helliwell, taken down to the studs and rebuilt: walls opened, the lower level dropped, heated marble floors, grand custom doors, and a marble-and-brass kitchen anchored by wallpapers imported from France and England. Completed in 2015, it still looks current today — a hallmark of Colette's timeless approach, and of interiors that hold their value.

Chestnut Park

A spirited family home where saturated colour and pattern meet timeless architecture.

A spirited family home that proves traditional rooms need not be quiet ones. Saturated colour and layered pattern carry through every space — a verdant green dining room, a jewel-box raspberry library lined with books and art, a graphic checkerboard entry — each grounded by classic architecture and a collector's eye. Bold yet entirely liveable, it is Colette's signature: a fresh, fearless take on the traditional home.

Russell Hill

A dramatic Forest Hill residence in deep, lacquered blue.

A dramatic Forest Hill residence drenched in deep, lacquered blue. A checkerboard entry opens to an art-filled sitting room where gilt frames, citrine velvet and considered antiques play against moody panelled walls. Confident and glamorous, the rooms use colour as architecture — richness held in check by restraint.

Mathersfield

A serene primary bath grounded in warm walnut, honed marble and soft sage.

A serene primary bath conceived as a private spa. Warm walnut cabinetry and honed marble are grounded by a soft sage door and abundant natural light, while glass enclosures and clean fittings keep the room calm and uncluttered. Classic materials, quietly modern lines.

Toronto, Ontario

Birch Avenue

A moody, collected study and bedroom in deep greens and plum.

An intimate study and bedroom composed in deep greens and plum. Built-in shelving, a patterned ottoman and tailored upholstery create rooms made for retreat — moody, collected and built for long, quiet evenings in.

Toronto, Ontario

McMurrich

A calm, light-filled marble bath suite.

A light-filled marble bath suite where book-matched stone takes centre stage. A sculptural freestanding tub, polished fittings and a restrained palette let the material do the talking — understated luxury, beautifully composed.

In the Media
