Look what happens when six homeowners put their beautifully landscaped backyards in the hands of six designers. Deborah Lalande, owner of Bleu Venue Events, and the Mississauga Backyard Glam Tour’s promoter, assigned each designer a unique theme. The results? They knocked their themes out of the ballpark. Six glam slams. Continued on page 20

At the edge of the blue-green waters of Lake Ontario, the Toronto skyline is modern frieze against a background of cloudless sky. Hardscape is minimalist and architectural. Tina’s design flows across it as softly and effortlessly as the water lapping against the shoreline.

“I wanted an upscale resort feel,” says Tina. Tall planters from Hearth Manor spill with flowers and foliage, marking the water’s edge. Daybeds, sofas, loungers and sectionals are arranged for conversation. A mix of teak, stainless steel and resin are low-maintenance and weather, water and UV resistant. Beach towels and throws in creams, jewelled blue, turquoise and sea-foam green, reiterate the water theme.

Tina’s Design Maxim: “In every design, I love to glam it up a bit with a unique touch of sparkle.”

This design beautifully interprets nostalgia. The mood is a 1920s picnic; a nod to Mazo de la Roche, author of the Jalna novel saga, reputed to have written her books here. In keeping with the period, soft, muted colours, texture and natural elements are used with moss and ferns, wood, wicker, iron and wool throws.

An elegant table is laid with a moss runner and topped with leafy placemats. Napkins are ringed with wicker. Handmade birch place-cards display the names of the home’s original pioneer owners. Strings of LED fairy lights hang from trees, setting a magical mood.

Vignettes throughout the space are set with period accessories, like the iconic Hudson’s Bay striped wool blankets, metal picnic baskets and black-iron lanterns. It’s an elegant design that incorporates natural living things – leaves, trees, branches, moss, wood and bark – taking us back to a simpler era.

Natasha’s Design Maxim: “I consider the way you live every day and then reflect your personal style throughout your home!”

Jasmina’s Design Maxim: “Making your life a little easier by creating beautiful spaces for your lifestyle.”

Kalli’s Design Maxim: “Designing rooms that are perfectly you.”

Neighbouring the pond, a British-style, red-brick, half wall is a backdrop to the dining space, where a table is set with simplicity and repetition: “A form of visual tension and the key to achieving that casually formal, classic feel,” Evelyn reveals. Her colour choices reflect the outdoors: azure, robin’s-egg blue, teal and moss green.

Evelyn’s Design Maxim: “I embrace the comfort of traditional design, but with a contemporary edge.” Her designs are about setting the stage and creating magical backdrops where the everyday and every special day, unfold.

Soft grey and taupe fabrics echo the flagstone. Blues, corals, yellows and earthy greens set a tranquil mood. A folkloric pattern in dining-chair cushions adds a touch of whimsy. Patterns play with the water theme: shell pillows are tossed on loungers “positioned for lovers on a quiet afternoon,” laughs Barbara, bringing to mind Daisy and Jay in The Great Gatsby.

Barbara’s Design Maxim: “Live better, feel better… by design.” Barbara’s role is to help clients create surroundings that nurture and sustain feelings of wellbeing through the visual elements of colour, texture, scale, emphasis and proportion.

“Thousands have lived without love, not one without water,” wrote the poet, W. H. Auden. “Water sustains us physically, and psychologically too,” says Barbara. “My design is a retreat from the hectic.”

All architectural lines lead to the lake, from the manicured lawn to the vanishing edge of an infinity pool. Barbara’s design softens those lines, while keeping the focus on the lake. The outdoor kitchen is dressed with abstract art from Crescent Hill Gallery, their colours reiterating the water theme.

Tall trees outline a manicured lawn filled with colourful annuals and perennials. Trickles from the fountain ripple across a lily pond. Now, stage the spaces for what they were meant for: people. “We’re simply enhancing the beautiful environment,” says Evelyn, “Our design goal was casual glamour in a rambling way, as in a stately British garden.” A distressed grey and brown sectional from Casualife Outdoor Living encourages legs curled up for an intimate tête-à-tête, or bare feet crossed lazily on the trellis-patterned mossy-green outdoor rug.

Tina used bold reds and golds to match the brilliant annuals and achieve Muskoka-like tranquility and relaxation. Tranquility is a mood, not a colour, so the bold colours help pull one away from a busy life, and add a healthy dose of fun.

Fabrics are weather, water and UV resistant. Inspiration is derived from the tiny gazebo in the corner of the garden, around which Tina hung cotton curtains. Fanned by the breeze, the curtains reveal an intimate setting for a quiet chat. From there, it’s fun in the sun, with the pool as the centrepiece. An outdoor gas fireplace from Hearth Manor separates the dining space from a cosy gathering spot. Tina brings in her trademark touch of bling with wide-mouthed vases filled with silvery wood shavings.

Tina’s Design Maxim: “Make it restful, but fun. Make it about family. Seize the day.”

Brilliant red and orange florals take their cue from the red brick on the two-storey Georgian house. The dining table is shaded by an umbrella from Casualife Outdoor Living and set with water-themed plates from Zest for Living. Striped black-and-white chair covers and jazz-themed artwork from Crescent Hill Gallery speak to nostalgia.

Barbara’s Design Maxim: “Live better, feel better… by design,” she says. “Playing games with family and friends is guaranteed to add to our well-being at any age.” OH

Let the games begin! “It’s all about fun and games, with a not-so-subtle dose of nostalgia,” laughs Barbara, talking about her interpretation of the theme.

The predominant colour choices of burgundy, red, cream and brown, hark back to an earlier era. It’s a yard with room for rollicking games like croquet, horseshoes and bocce. Under leafy trees, old-fashioned picnic blankets and metal baskets are the perfect backdrop for quiet chatter. When the games are over, the pool beckons.
