Home Tours It’s Home Tour time again!
Today Kari is taking us to a lovely 40’s Craftsman Home in the heart of Courtenay. Like Kari, I adore homes from this era – and the Comox Valley is filled with them. These homes shine when given some special attention to bring them back into their former glory. Talented home owners, such as the owners of this home, deserve every bit of joy they receive from living in such a soulful home. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us D & S!
Enjoy!

Writing I don’t think “Green” is going to go away anytime soon. Sure, a new word may emerge as the latest coined phrase, but I believe the concept is here to stay. Phew… thankfully we’re all becoming more environmentally aware.
I adore some of the new home products coming out with a “Green” focus. We’ve seen sustainable bamboo curtains, hemp sofas, and new furniture hand-crafted with reclaimed lumber.
But I’m also a fan of all things “used”. My neighbour put it right when she said, “I could buy my son every eco-toy imaginable, but often the best ’green’ toy I could buy him is a recycled one.” So.True.

Home Tours Welcome to ComoxValleyDwellings.com!
We’re an online magazine for Interior Design and Renovations in the Comox Valley.
We, Kari Fisher and Bethany Pearce, would like to personally welcome you. We are beyond thrilled that this day has finally come. We have been getting major goose bumps over the last several months – we cannot express enough how happy we are to be here.
We’re not going to spend too much time distracting you from the very first feature, but we want you to know that you can find details about what we’re doing, who we are, and how to get involved by exploring the links at the top of this page.
Today is Tuesday, and that means it’s INTERIOR DESIGN HOME TOUR time! We love home tours, whether they be online, in person, or printed in a magazine. One of the greatest sources of inspiration for Interior Design and Renovations can be other people’s homes – real homes.
Our very first tour is actually Kari’s home. And it’s gorgeous!
Here’s Kari to give us the tour…
Enjoy.
