Over The River

Classic cottage architecture and lovingly collected vintage and antique treasures combine to create this cozy inviting home.

In a village like Bayfield, a small historic enclave of Blue water, Ontario, it’s easy to give yourself permission to take a break from the frenetic bustle of city life. It’s the kind of place where you settle in for some authentic, comfortable, old-fashioned living. Tourists come for activities on the shore of Lake Huron and the Bayfield River and take in the natural landscape. For homeowner Sharon Turner, creating her home there was about embracing the rustic feeling of being surrounded by natural elements, and with one look at her country chic interior, you know she’s succeeded.

CABIN IN THE WOODS

Sharon’s cozy home is a refreshing blend of cottage charm and vintage character. Ship lap walls throughout impart that cabin-like coziness and highlight unique architectural elements like the exposed salvage wood beams and knotty pine walls that give her home its custom look.
