OUR HOMES Magazine Online Edition: Fall/Holiday 2008

The Giving Season

Here we are, publishing our fifth issue of OUR HOMES Barrie, Orillia, Midland and Innisfil. Time flies when you’re having fun, and it certainly has been a pleasure putting together this fine magazine for you to enjoy.

Home and Builder features James Schneider's home in Wasaga Beach, which has it all: a beautiful great room, a home-theatre, a music studio and an indoor ball-hockey arena. Also, you'll discover a beautifully renovated waterfront property owned by Dr. Rob Mason and his wife Denise. Meet sculptor Rebecca Allen. Allen makes fun, funky and whimsical pieces out of sheet metal for the inside or outside of your home. Our team also travelled to the Wyebridge Country Garden for our Comfort Zone. The store is located in a century home and the furniture and accessories are truly unique.

We suggest a glass of wine, a roaring fire, a comfy couch and a good read… especially this issue of OUR HOMES. Enjoy!
