'This Home Is Full of Thoughtful Moments That Make for Beautiful Conversation' – Explore a Heritage Home Where Timeless Style Meets Modern Family Life

A bright, airy living room viewed through fluted glass doors, featuring a large black-framed window that overlooks lush autumn trees. The space is anchored by a neutral sofa and two textured charcoal armchairs centered around a wooden coffee table, with a marble-surrounded fireplace and built-in shelving on the right.

Transitional has been a bit of a buzzword in interior design over the last few years. Spaces that lean neither traditional nor modern – neither minimalist nor maximalist – rooms that sit between styles, creating a look that’s unique, full of depth and character.

That was the brief for designer Meg Cassidy when she was brought on to remodel this heritage home in Rosedale, Toronto, one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. Built in 1911, it required a sympathetic hand – one that would honor the building’s original features while updating the spaces to suit the owners’ more transitional style.
