Announcing the Finalists for the 2025 Western Living Design 25 Awards
A peek into Stephanie Brown's Mackenzie Street dining room, one of the winners of our first annual WL Design 25 awards.
Once a formal living room, this bright, minimalist dining room from Stephanie Brown Inc. reimagines a more open-concept space, repurposing it for large family gatherings and dinners. In a masterful blend of classic and modern design elements, a playful suspended string chandelier comfortably hangs from a wood-beam ceiling—reclad in custom millwork—right next to a framed acrylic portrait (a beloved flea-market find) that looks like it comes right out of the Renaissance.
A modern table from Vancouver’s Lock and Mortice is flanked with B&B Italia dining chairs, clad in Bordeaux leather—a nod to the family’s love for wining and dining. These enchanting design juxtapositions don’t detract from the overall balance of the space, but rather create an inviting ambiance for dining and relaxation.
