Paris-Meets-Vancouver Design
Posted on January 9, 2013 by Lexi
11 COMMENTSI tend to travel and fall utterly in love with the food, the design, the culture. France (and Paris, more specifically) is one of those places that has always stuck with me. And it seems, the same goes for Vancouver designer, Effie Genovese. When it came to her own home in Vancouver, and after almost a decade of living and raising a family in the south of France, she turned her 5,000-square foot house into a place meant to complement the historical homes in its established Vancouver neighbourhood and reference something plucked right out of Paris. (While living in France, Effie visited Paris regularly, scouring the flea markets and relishing in the belle époque vibe.) “I envisioned an updated Parisian townhouse,” says Effie, “like a house that you would find in Paris that had been renovated. It’s modernized inside but still has all of the old charming details.”
