First Home Tour

final home tour exterior

Our first home was located in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.  We lived here from August 2012 to June 2020.

I’d describe my style as black and white, bold and bright: all our furniture is either black or white, and I like to bring lots of colour in through our bold and bright walls!  Other than the panelling/millwork, the ceilings and the closets, you won’t find a white wall in our entire house.

Split-Level House Layout

This was a 1970s standard side-split, with around 1200 sq/ft on the main and upper levels.  The basement was another 400 sq/ft, with an additional open crawlspace below that.
