Tucked into the landscape of Collingwood, Ontario — a place long known for its weekend ski rituals and scenic views — interior designer Brittany Steptoe-Wright, founder of BSW Design, has transformed the property into a deeply personal retreat. Having spent her childhood weekends here, the town always held a sense of home for her and when her family’s original Collingwood house was sold, it left a noticeable gap. Drawn to meaningful projects and thoughtful restoration, Brittany saw an opportunity when this home came along at just the right moment. What followed is a design rich with personal touches — a place where muddy boots from long dog walks and ski days feel equally at home, and evenings are spent gathered around a real fireplace.

Nestled on quiet street in Toronto’s Summerhill— a neighbourhood celebrated for its historic architecture and tree-lined streets— fine jewellery designer, Kaja Erika Jorgensen, has transformed her historic residence into an art collector’s dream. Known for infusing her work with a deeply personal touch, Kaja translates that sensibility into her own home, through layering antique finds from across the world, and creating a space that feels as intimate and one-of-a-kind as her jewellery designs.
