A Victorian farmhouse with horses on its mind
Jack Creasy spent four and a half years turning a 100-year-old Ontario farmhouse into a British country retreat.
In brief
Jack Creasy spent four and a half years turning a 100-year-old Ontario farmhouse into a British country retreat. A layered, lived-in house is built slowly, one custom piece and one considered pattern at a time. Originally reported by House & Home.
A farmhouse in the country
The house sits in a small rural town in Ontario, a century-old Victorian that designer Jack Creasy took on as a full reimagining.
British country meets the stable
Creasy leaned the whole house into two references at once: English country comfort and equestrian style, saddle leather and all.
“blends British country and equestrian style”
Mastering the mix
Rich textures and scenic wallpaper carry the rooms. Pattern does the heavy lifting instead of a single dominant style.
“Step inside a fabulous Victorian home that masters the mix.”
The green kitchen
An English-inspired green kitchen sets the tone for the ground floor, deep and warm rather than the usual pale country white.
Teal and pink, quietly
Colour arrives in small doses. Subtle pops of teal and pink run through the rooms without ever taking one over.
Four and a half years of comfort
The build took four and a half years and was designed around comfort: custom pieces, considered lighting, furniture made for curling up in.
“furniture made for curling up”
The bottom line
A layered, lived-in house is built slowly, one custom piece and one considered pattern at a time.
