A 96-year-old Toronto resident was selling her two-story home in Bloor West Village, a West Toronto neighborhood. Even her neighbors were unaware of the surprise she had hidden inside the house, which appeared normal from the outside.
The property was tastefully and meticulously furnished, with the best components of the 1950s and 1960s from floor to ceiling. We’re talking about neo-ornate splendor, vibrant carpeting, metallic wallpaper, modern baroque designs, and so much more.
The homeowner, a 96-year-old seamstress, had always had a strong passion for interior design but was unable to pursue it professionally. Despite her elderly age, she and her family carefully maintained the home’s antique charm and idiosyncrasies for seventy-two years.The interior was still in great condition.
The exterior of this 96-year-old woman’s Toronto home appears to be very normal. Only a two-story rock and brick house. Nothing extraordinary, is that correct? Just wait.
The elderly homeowner had previously worked as a knitter and seamstress. Despite never having received any training, at the age of 96, she is suddenly earning the recognition she deserves as an interior designer. This two-story detached home is beautifully decorated in a throwback 1960s style from floor to ceiling.
Take a look at the beautiful floral wallpaper!”I like soft colors and things that match and flow well together,” the homeowner explained. “Bright colors are not my style; tone on tone is.” This is evident in her use of cold and warm pastel colors, as well as pastel textures and motifs.
She enjoys using sea foam, aqua, pink, and purple in the interior decor of her home. The kitchen also has distinctive cabinet hardware and unusual light fixtures. More in the video below.
