Nautical decor

All decked out

We had the pleasure of touring Paola Fullerton's modern 1860s farmhouse in Schomberg village, Ontario. It's a relaxed, family-friendly home — check it out here! — with gorgeous wood panelling and clean lines. The Fullerton's outdoor space is reminiscent of the furnished verandas typical of Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Here's how to create that nautical look in your home.
