Eclectic Home Tour – Christine Dovey
A few years ago, Christine Dovey decided to sell all of of her furniture and start from scratch with only pieces that inspire her.
This former teacher turned stylist, decorator and artist lives in Ontario and describes her style as a “blushy cocktail of delicate pretty mixed with a dash of modern edge.”
I love the way the marble wraps around the sides of the island.
She mixes old and new seamlessly …
and doesn’t forget the details.
What’s better than a giant portrait and a pint size hide rug.
Abstract art fills makes a giant statement.
A room fit for a princess.
I love the blinged out walls and pops of pink.
I love the mix of high and low – Ikea desk painted and paired with a French chair.
A chic bedroom retreat with hand painted curtains.
Classic subway tile is always in style.
Especially when paired with brass fixtures.
I might even enjoy doing laundry behind those sliding antique doors.
Christine Dovey has a signature style that I adore.
Check out all of her design projects including a Chicago stunner she’s working on now.

You’ll love all of my Eclectic Home Tours – something for everyone from farmhouse to mid century to modern.
Stunning! What a beautiful style! I wonder what my husband would do if I sold all of our furniture that doesn’t inspire me…because his leather recliner would be the first thing to go! Ha! Life to the full! Melissa
My poor hubby would be missing some of his favorite things too – hmmm, maybe he wouldn’t notice!
I have loved her home for so long. It’s one of my all time favorites and I have to keep going back to look at it frequently. It’s so feminine, beautiful and unique. Love everything and would move in 😉
As you stated Kelly, love the seamless mixture of the old and new…..the less expensive items with high quality pieces…truly an art ! Her home is definitely her canvas, a masterpiece. Truly a wonderful tour and treat for us today!!..Thanks Kelly and have a great weekend!!…
That is one gorgeous home!
I was oooing and ahhhing my way through her home, then just sat in stunned envy when we came to those antique sliding doors. Now that is something I want in my home, now!
The was such a fab home tour… I see why you showcased here… absolutely stunning..
Her home is one of my favorite home tours to date. Every time I see it, I wipe the drool!
I’m in love! I can’t stop swooning over all of the beautiful brass hardware & gorgeous styling.
Le sigh.
