House & Home

The McKeens House Tour

Prepare to absolutely swoon over this charming two bedroom home in Riverside. The house itself may not be big but every inch is packed with interesting details that don’t overwhelm the space. The McKeens, who aren’t a sight for sore eyes either, have captured one of my favourite interior combos: white on white, natural wood and focal points with huge wow factor.


Lynda McKeen is a mom and successful Insta-blogger with 30,000+ followers – in my mind that makes her a multi-talented stylist, interior designer and photographer. While speaking to her about some of her favourite places to shop, she let me know about Lucent Light Shop where she grabbed this 70s inspired Sputnik chandelier. I’ve been checking them out and I’m in love.

The attic of the house was opened up by the former owner, an architect who also drew the plans for the beautiful custom stairs leading to the bedroom loft.  The black iron and the natural wood really pop next the white walls.

In a small space like this, where it’s best to keep things light an airy, wallpaper can be a great way to add some colour and coziness without overwhelming a room – and of course Lynda, being the rockstar mom that she is, collects different patterns from all over Instagram (list below).

I’m a huge fan of tall baseboards and wide trim paired with natural wood. The combination creates a frame for windows that makes them seem like pictures hanging on the wall.

The skylights, glass block, ceiling height and open concept allow the light to flow from room to room. I was here on a grey winter day and from inside you’d never know it. I’m excited to come back and visit during summer when the trees are green and everything’s in full bloom although there’s something serene about this house in this weather that I really like.

Follow Lynda’s Instagram to see more shopping and decorating ideas as well as more pics of this cutie.

Freya is one of our favourite spots in Detroit and it is also featured in the latest issue of the BCL magazine ~ Who else has been? 🙋🏼‍♀️

We cook, you eat. A food menu? How old-fashioned. At Freya, a multi-course meal, consisting of several small plates is paired meticulously with a corresponding beverage. The only important decision you'll make is what to have from the 'music menu' passed from guest to guest throughout the evening🎶

Perfect for the, "I don't know what I feel like tonight, you choose", person in your life-- as long as you're into Moodyman.

~What does 'supporting small business' mean to us?~

Helping hardworking visionaries to achieve their dreams is what we do at BCL. So we're unbelievably grateful that many of our favourite small business owners have become our real estate clients.

Amor and Mauricio, owners of Walkerville's Café Amor on Ottawa St., are just the kind of people we love to work with. They do everything it takes to make their dreams a reality — and they always do it with a smile 🤗. Fantastic coffee, a colourful atmosphere and excellent service; it's no wonder they were busting at the seams and needed an upgrade.
 
To secure their new location, we helped them navigate the process of selling properties, and purchasing off-market with non-traditional financing, construction and permitting. 

Their grit, perseverance, creativity and positive attitudes helped them keep their eyes on the prize throughout the entire process. As a result, we couldn't be happier to see them operating in a location double the size to accommodate their growing number of customers.

We’ve been quieter than usual this last quarter of 2022 as we hunkered down to work on something that has changed the direction of our company’s future. Until we’re able to share the news officially in 2023, we’d like to announce that our print magazine, blog and socials will begin to reflect more of our own projects after six years of documenting what’s been happening out there in the Windsor community.

Not to say that we won’t still be sharing our favourite destinations and designs with you, because we definitely still will be. Now, as it happens, many of our favourite, well-designed destinations throughout the county are BCL projects in some way. Connecting people with inspiring properties is what we do best, and we want to keep doing it!

From colourful, creative homes to the city’s best cafés, we’ll be pivoting to share stories with you of homes that BCL has designed as well as homes and properties that our clients have developed and reimagined in an inspiring way. 

We’ll also be documenting more behind-the-scenes of our staging projects, new BCL flips, and insights into how we believe thoughtfully acquired and developed real estate can make Windsor & Essex a more beautiful place for generations to come.

Happy Holidays and cheers to our clients, collaborators, friends and future clients-to-be!

They do everything it takes to make their dreams a reality — and they always do it with a smile 🤗. Fantastic coffee, a colourful atmosphere and excellent service; it's no wonder they were busting at the seams and needed an upgrade.
 
To secure their new location, we helped them navigate the process of selling properties, and purchasing off-market with non-traditional financing, construction and permitting. 

Their grit, perseverance, creativity and positive attitudes helped them keep their eyes on the prize throughout the entire process. As a result, we couldn't be happier to see them operating in a location double the size to accommodate their growing number of customers.

~What does 'supporting small business' mean to us?~

Helping hardworking visionaries to achieve their dreams is what we do at BCL. So we're unbelievably grateful that many of our favourite small business owners have become our real estate clients.

Amor and Mauricio, owners of Walkerville's Café Amor on Ottawa St., are just the kind of people we love to work with. They do everything it takes to make their dreams a reality — and they always do it with a smile 🤗. Fantastic coffee, a colourful atmosphere and excellent service; it's no wonder they were busting at the seams and needed an upgrade.

2/5
We’ve been quieter than usual this last quarter of 2022 as we hunkered down to work on something that has changed the direction of our company’s future. Until we’re able to share the news officially in 2023, we’d like to announce that our print magazine, blog and socials will begin to reflect more of our own projects after six years of documenting what’s been happening out there in the Windsor community.

Not to say that we won’t still be sharing our favourite destinations and designs with you, because we definitely still will be. Now, as it happens, many of our favourite, well-designed destinations throughout the county are BCL projects in some way. Connecting people with inspiring properties is what we do best, and we want to keep doing it!

From colourful, creative homes to the city’s best cafés, we’ll be pivoting to share stories with you of homes that BCL has designed as well as homes and properties that our clients have developed and reimagined in an inspiring way. 

We’ll also be documenting more behind-the-scenes of our staging projects, new BCL flips, and insights into how we believe thoughtfully acquired and developed real estate can make Windsor & Essex a more beautiful place for generations to come.

Happy Holidays and cheers to our clients, collaborators, friends and future clients-to-be!
