Presented by:
​Desjardins Insurance, Travis Cairns
Step through the front door of this contemporary home and step into a world of lakes and trees, natural light, the turquoise, blues and greens of water and ice, and the changing shades of wood. Owners, Heidi and Mark, are both outdoor enthusiasts, as well as art and antique collectors, and their home is an eclectic mix of antique, vintage and modern, creating a cozy and elegant vibe. ‘The Cottage’ features classic hickory wood floors, a polished oak staircase, a prize collection of Canadian art, and unique lighting that includes frozen icicle chandeliers and wine barrel hoop pendants. Priceless century-old Indonesian brass bells, a stunning 1860 Scottish Drumhead clock, and an ancestral walnut dining suite are mixed with contemporary pieces. A spectacular attribute is the vista of their beautifully treed garden. Nature pours in through their picture windows – Vanderwolf pines, Japanese Cedar, and the blues and greens of spruce.
Sprague Interiors Inc. is delighted to return to this year’s Holiday House Tour, sprinkling holiday magic throughout. Inspired by the home’s personality, we blend festive greenery, twinkling lights, and thoughtful touches to create a warm, welcoming space full of cheer.
House 2: Stonewood
Decorators:
Lowkey Farmstead
Willow Cakes Magical Pastry Arts Display
Presented by:
Peller Estates
A beautifully landscaped garden frames this contemporary home, leading you into a world where stone and wood complement each other with stunning architectural designs. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors and magnificent picture windows create a living art canvas where nature spills into every room, captured in original watercolours throughout the home. The breathtaking moment is the unparallelled view of a sculpted garden and pool, with stone walkways bordered by soaring cedars and pines. A four-season patio, designed again with the harmonious blending of stone and wood, creates an intimate outdoor living room. All this can be enjoyed from a large and welcoming kitchen island, surrounded by charcoal flagstones, in a kitchen that is nothing less than a chef’s paradise. This home doesn’t just welcome Christmas — it elevates it, offering both the warmth of tradition and the elegance of modern design.
First-generation flower farmer, Erin Rolanty of Lowkey Farmstead, brings eco-friendly, fresh florals and evergreens indoors. Her vintage-inspired designs in royal blues and orange/bronze/gold accents, and natural woods and wicker layer texture and timeless charm, creating a setting of sustainable seasonal beauty.
House 3: The Music House
Decorator: Rhonda Holloway of Help Me Rhonda's Interiors
Faye McAlpine of FMC Designs
​
Presented by: Bosley Real Estate
This warm family home is filled with the history of music, gatherings and celebration. Built in 1823, this was the original Methodist Meeting House, originally located at Gage and Gate Streets. Today the new owners, Eric and Laura, are honouring its historic connection with their own ‘music room’, complete with a grand piano, a harpsichord, a vintage glass harmonica, and a 1615 Viola de Gamba – with an ear to what those early Methodists might have been hearing at their weekly meetings. You will be greeted not only with the warmth of an original stone fireplace, ivory-painted pine floors, and the grace of a comforting and unusually expansive stairwell, but also with the music of the past, and the haunting strings of a beautiful ‘Viol’, courtesy of owners Eric and Laura.
Rhonda Holloway of Help Me Rhonda's Interiors & Faye McAlpine of FMC Designs have collaborated once again, to present an elegant and sophisticated holiday version of this beautiful home. The historical features of each room are showcased in soft colors, glittering greenery, and an abundance of lights.
House 4: King’s Landing
This historic home is all about history and location, offering magnificent views of the Niagara River, Fort Niagara, and Fort George. Built in 1908 by John J. Wright – a contemporary of Tesla and Edison – it was named 'King’s Landing' and served as the docking site for his steam yacht, Electra. Today, guests are welcomed by a 100-year-old Wisteria vine and a 1904 outdoor dining shed, original to the property. The main floor showcases stunning Tudor Revival and Arts and Crafts architecture, including rich wood trim, a designated three-story staircase with carved newel post and balustrade, and other stunning period details. A ghostly figure has even been spotted on the staircase. The living room’s heritage fireplace is featured in Trisha Romance’s Christmas at the Cottage. A recent two-storey rear renovation was constructed using original stone recovered from the property, resulting in a seamless and authentic addition to this beautifully preserved home.
Regal Florist & Garden Centre has participated in the Holiday House Tour for 26 years! We create unique designs that reflect the style of the homeowners while preserving the integrity of their home. Our original plans often take a surprise direction as we experience the unique personality of the home.
House 5: Brockamour Manor
The love begins as soon as you walk through the landscaped gardens, past the period-perfect holly and ivy, and enter the lobby. Built in 1809 by John Powell, District of Niagara Registrar, it was destroyed in the 1813 fire, leaving only the kitchen wing partially untouched. In 1818, Powell rebuilt the home in the Regency style you see today, with stuccoed brick, stunning oversized windows, and a rare elliptical fanlight above the side entry. The love continues with owners Diki and Alex, who carefully preserve its detailed interior fixtures, original crown mouldings and hardwood floors, tigerwood banisters, metallic sheen wallpaper, and distinctive heritage décor in each of their six guest rooms. But the ‘romantic’ history always captures their guests imagination. Powell’s sister-in-law, Miss Sophia Shaw, was the love of General Isaac Brock, and it was here that Brock reputedly said farewell to Miss Sophia before his tragic march up Queenston Heights.
Garden Club of Niagara: A colourful mix of fresh and dried florals with lush greenery in period designs will complement the glory of this historic manor B&B upstairs and down. A young Sophia dressed in floral couture will be present mourning her lost love, General Brock.
House 6: The Beacon Hill
Decorator: TMV Home Design & Restaging
Sunshine Express Garden Centre
​
Presented by: Niagara-on-the-Lake Realty
This 1980s Cape Cod two-storey home will delight and surprise you with astonishing renovations by its owners, Betty and Kent, who blended the old with the new, resulting in an ageless design. The dramatic ‘great room’ features a soaring 17 ft ceiling, with a magnificent floor to ceiling matte black, wood-trimmed fireplace, and panoramic views of the sur-rounding nature. Bold artworks complement the ever-changing scenery, with favourites from artist, Bev Aldridge. Elegant lighting, such as a stunning tubular chandelier, adds a touch of drama to this exceptional space. The chef’s kitchen is ideal for many inspired meals, with a traditional dining room that offers legacy, comfort, and originality – in a home that doesn’t stop surprising. Note the cleverly crafted embossed, wood-panelled stairwell, and do not miss the smallest room in the house – an art deco inspired powder room.
TMV Redesign and Home Staging welcomes you to a modern-day winter wonderland, where old world meets new world! Together with Sunshine-Express Garden Centre, we will sprinkle this home with a magical twist of the past and the future – a classic and timeless look, not soon to be forgotten!
House 7: Woodbourne Inn
Perhaps it’s the magical secrets you discover when you visit the historic Woodbourne Inn that make it so compelling. From its magnificent pocket sliding doors, to hidden staircases and alcoves, and surprising twists and turns, the inn is a wonderful mystery. Built in 1839 by William Woodruff, a prominent and influential Loyalist, his simple Georgian home doubled in size as his fortunes grew. By century’s end it had its characteristic mix of Georgian/Victorian architecture. Intricate details are carefully preserved, from its sculptured ceiling rosettes to elaborate marbleized mantels. The shining feature in the original ballroom is an 1860s rosewood Dunham and Sons Square Grand Piano – rare and beautiful. Today, the owners focus on sustainability, ensuring everything is upcycled, antique or vintage. Enjoy the warmth of an 1839 Rumford fireplace, an eclectic library from Bradbury to Shaw, and in the gardens, a breathtaking cathedral spread of white pine.
Bloom & Co. specializes in creating seasonal designs that celebrate both the spirit of the holidays and the personality of each home. Our goal is to enhance, not overwhelm, layering natural textures, fresh blooms, and festive details to complement the homeowner’s style.
