Reesha your living room looks same as that of a sister of mine in Toronto. It's a nice elegant living rm.

Most interesting that I have learned when living in: Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary:

Toronto: I love the red brick homes. There actually was a local brickmaking factory that produced bricks. I plan to blog about it...since it's turned into an environmental educational centre.

Bricks are used heavily in southern Ontario. The old fieldstone homes are lovely too.

Southern Ontario for heritage homes might have more gingerbread trim. Not Vancouver nor Calgary. Forget it.

Vancouver: But Vancouver does not have much brick homes compared to southern Ontario. Nor stone homes. It's not really found stuff in natural local environment.

I've noticed that the milder climate there means, more steps are used in creative ways, wood, more balconies, etc.

Calgary: Does not offer brick homes (in the heritage sense). frankly this prairie town had lousy architecture historically, for homes. Just ugly and plain/flat. Of course new homes, are more standard look that you would find anywhere in Canada.
