Would a Tour of homes, beautifully decorated for the holiday season be complete without something in Roseland?

The Hamilton Burlington Junior League has included a beautiful, older home, typical of the Roseland neighbourhood in the tour this year.

One of the homes that makes Roseland the community it is – this is not one of the homes on the tour. You need to buy a ticket to learn where you will be going.

The 5500  sq. ft house has been renovated to have all of the modern amenities but has kept the character of the original house.

The home is the largest one on the tour this year. It is very unique, in that the renovation and the decorating are both being done, in conjunction with the homeowners, by one decorator/builder. Marnie Warman of Interior Design House and her team at IDH Build group have worked with the homeowners to renovate this beautiful home.

Traditionally Junior League Home Tours have involved several decorators.

The main floor is open concept, featuring a beautiful kitchen-great room combination with two islands, allowing ease of preparation and serving when entertaining a larger group. It also allows everyone to be able to move around without feeling that they are missing out on another part of the party. The other important feature of this home is the completely renovated master suite that has been added over the garage. This space will give the parents a beautiful place to relax and escape to at the end of the day.

Putting together this annual Junior League event calls for a level of organization that is handled by co-chairs Diane Brown and Iris Hughes.  Each house is assigned a team of “reps” that makes sure everything comes together; that the home owner is fully involved and that the different decorators are coordinated so that everything is the way they all wanted it to look like when the doors are opened to the public.
