HOME & COTTAGE
Home Sweet PEI Home
Welcome to the Fall 2020 edition of PEI Living magazine. Where has the year gone? As we transition through our fall season and into winter, we can all be grateful for the good weather that has carried us through this rather unusual year. It has enabled us to spend lots of time outside enjoying fresh air, outdoor activities and a bountiful fall harvest. Hopefully, this great spell of weather will continue right through the end of the year and into 2021. Fingers crossed. In this edition of PEI Living magazine we invite you to shop local and, through our pages, introduce you to the many businesses and services that serve our communities. We are all in this together and I hope that supporting local businesses remains top of mind for everyone. In the Home & Cottage section we are delighted to highlight two very different design aesthetics. What both homes have in common are real people with a knack for thinking outside of the box. We hope you will enjoy reading about these lovely spaces they have generously agreed to share with you, our readers.
For A Getaway Plan (page 48), we venture into the PEI woods to visit Walden Cabin, where the owners built a comfortable space away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A place secluded in the woods, where one can find some rest and relaxation while embracing the quiet solitude and the benefits of getting back to nature. See Inn Style (page 44) for a sophisticated yet classic take on decorating in black and white. We meet up with a local boutique hotel owner who has created a cozy upscale environment for their guests. In the DIY section you’ll find projects using items that were upcycled for next to nothing after a visit to a local thrift store. I love projects that reuse everyday items, turning them into something fresh and new for very little cost, time or effort. Have a wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas and all the best to you and yours in 2021.
