LOVE in the AIR:
Second World
War Letters
by Joanne Culley
“The Second World War was a
hate-filled time for many people
but not for two Canadians
whose love affair triumphed
over violence, tragedy and separation.”
Alan Skeoch, historian, author,
and Governor General’s Award Winner
“Love in the Air is a gift from the past, providing us with
a glimpse into what was happening on both sides of the
Atlantic, through the eloquent letters of Harry Culley, a
musician entertaining troops and celebrities while dodging
bombs, and those from Helen Reeder, working on shifts,
never knowing if they would see each other again.”
Dr. Stephen Harris CD, Chief Historian,
Department of National Defence

designs a gorgeous airy lakehouse in cottage country
By Joanne Culley
Carol and Lawrence’s 40 year-old cedar cottage
on Lake Catchacoma was worn and dark
and needed to be upgraded or replaced. As
renovating it was going to be too expensive, they
decided to have a new home built by Linwood Custom
Homes.
“We had seen the work of Angela Jones of Lakeshore
Designs on a Prince Margaret Lottery Linwood home
and loved the look she created, so we decided to
engage her for the interior design,” says Carol.
“We had a consultation with Carol and Lawrence, who
said they liked our Lakehouse style and wanted their
home to be as lovely as our Princess Margaret Homes.
This full-build project was exciting for us and we
proceeded with a full furniture layout, colour palette,
stylings, and customized architectural details such as
the rustic ceiling beams,” says Angela.
Angela and her team organized and coordinated all
aspects of the project, including arranging for the
tradespeople, ordering and staging the furniture,
selecting the flooring, countertops and other finishes,
and measuring and placing the various components,
with minimal inconvenience to the clients.
The colour palette Angela chose is light and fresh with
white ship lap on the ceiling, soft neutral linens in the
furnishings and finishes, that complements the light
airy space.
“The colour scheme is fabulous and I loved how
Angela’s choices brightened the space, with Coventry
Grey on the lower level and Linen Grey on the upper,”
says Carol.
The open concept main level boasts a cathedral
ceiling in the living room facing the lake. The great
room flows into the dining area and kitchen with
eat-in island. The hardwood engineered flooring
from Monaghan Lumber was chosen for its ease of
maintenance and dog friendliness.
Angela and team selected all of the furniture, including
the creamy linens and oatmeal oversized sectional
sofa in a transitional style for the living room, and
the charcoal blue-grey sectional that fills the space
in the lower level. Other elements such as chairs,
coffee tables, a circular dining room table with cream
upholstered chairs, and unique décor items, such as
paintings, area rugs, lamps, and mirrors, all contribute
to the look. Continued on Page 59
