Style: Traditional

Our family fell in love with 134 Thomas Street, a  downtown Oakville vernacular heritage building. Originally built by a local shoemaker in 1845, we restored + renovated the entire building , and emulated a natural layout of a home, different rooms furnished + decorated for customers to shop comfortably and uniquely through the  ‘dining room’ , ‘living room’ with a custom fireplace, and an upstairs loft area for smaller treasures for example. The ceiling were adorned with crystal chandeliers and space furnished  in impeccable traditional furniture, antique and new - a merged mix from our premier antique store.

Through that growth was our intuition confirmed, we discovered the wonderful relationship between new and old.

Passionate is Judy to preserve the fine furniture of previous generations, giving them renewed purpose, leveraging  their retained value and advocating their worthy investment.  “There is something special about a piece with 80 years of history.  To have survived that long; in exquisite condition, with detail and craftwork, not readily available in todays mass-produced market.  For most, the design and style has stood the test of time- talk about re-using and conserving for our environmental footprint, that’s sustainability!” says Judy.

Appreciating the character of high-caliber fine antique furniture and the innovation of contemporary, Sarah says, “I have found through displaying vignettes that both the timeless pieces of yesterday and the current stylized pieces of today create a warm and inviting atmosphere, but in a differentiated way – they work as literal forms of flattery.”
