Apartment Therapy features The Apartment life: A vintage furniture store owner’s own apartment is as stunning as a showroom

Feature: Apartment Therapy x The Apartment Life

December 02, 2022 in Interiors, Featured

The Apartment Life is a popular vintage furniture shop in downtown Toronto, but it may surprise people to know that the owner’s own home is like an extension of her store.

I’ve worked with Fiona on many photoshoots for her shop and home, and with her most recent project completed (a fun pink tiled and grouted shower), she’s now featured in the latest Home Tour on Apartment Therapy.

Two features that stand out in this primary bathroom:

How I see a space as an interior photographer:
