Montreal Old-World Home

An artful collaboration between designer and homeowner ensures that a c. 1912 Montreal home is updated for casual 21st-century living — kids, dogs, and all — and survives with its stately European elegance intact. When it was built, the house was made for grand entertaining; today, it's also a cozy family home.

Golden Room

In the living room, champagne-colored taffeta draperies frame leaded windows, in front of which sit an early-18th-century French settee and a marble-topped end table.

Informal Living

The couple, along with their children, Matthew and Evelina (plus beagle Pluto and beagle-Lab mix Alabama), enjoy interiors with a glamorous formality reminiscent of yesteryear's grand European homes. All areas in the home, from the sofas to the bed, welcome the putting-up of feet and paws.

Amber Glassware

Blending furnishings old and new, precious and sturdy, with items Essaris already owned (the house was hers before she met her husband), the result is an opulent style with irresistibly laid-back charm. "It feels very fresh," Peggy says. "We're so pleased!"
