YatharthLingering Questions
It was 1942 when Joyce along with her husband found a shelter at 148 Jane Street, an era marked by the Second World War and its aftermath. The house has been the same ever since and one question that pondered inside everyone’s head was whether the new owner would keep it the way it was or Joyce’s place would end up becoming a thing of the past. The house is still enlisted and is not sold yet but the new owner would get to decide whether to keep its originality or renovate it as they like. We can only hope that it doesn’t lose its retro touch.
The Big Downside
Perfect isn’t always perfect, one major drawback that comes along with buying 148 Jane Street is that the new owner won’t get the furniture with it. Why? Joyce’s daughter had called dibs on all the furniture present in the home and now she’s the righteous owner of it. Which is fair enough as almost everything is a piece of priceless antique as well as in an immaculate condition. The new owner would get to decide what to do with Joyce’s place, and no matter how it unrolls, this piece of art will always be as special to our hearts.
Seven Decades In The Making
When Joyce moved in at 148 Jane Street she was only 24 years of age but it seems like it was only yesterday. Everything is so at its place that her bedroom looks like it had never been touched or say no one ever entered it for that matter. The bed, the chairs are as immaculate when they were first placed in this home. In simpler words, one can’t believe that Joyce had lived here for 7 decades.
Soft Colors
“I like soft colors, and I like things to match and flow well together. I prefer tone-to-tone to bright colors,” Joyce said when asked about the color and interior choices. By the looks of Joyce’s furniture and the interior at her home, it is safe to say that she likes subtle shades of pink, aqua and purple. Joyce is also to be credited for taking care of the minute details that made everything sync-in. From towels, photo frames, wall hangings, the mirror and what not, they are all submerged in different shades of a single tone that only adds up to the aesthetics of this place. “My style is incomplete without pink, so yeah, pink has to be my favorite color,” Joyce said.
Wall-To-Wall
This home wears the trends of the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s on its walls in the face of metallic wallpapers, those old floral prints we see in retro movies, the lavish baroque style of architecture, and the old but classic fireplace to fight the tough Canadian winters. This isn’t it, the house also boasts of inbuilt cupboards, those old light fixtures made of molded iron. This place is nothing short of a museum with every room wearing different colors, having a theme of its own.
What Lies Beneath
Last but not the least, Joyce’s house is equipped with a full-fledged laundry room that happens to be in the basement. Like any other room in her house, the laundry room shines like a new penny. Joyce had done a great job in keeping it tidy and clean as the wooden cabinets look like they were only polished and assembled yesterday which you can see through the images.
