A warm welcome

Operating out of a 100+ year old Victorian wood-framed, red brick building, in a charming neighbourhood known as Dufferin Grove. The bustle of the outside world still to be heard but fades as you settle in the light, airy space. Sparsely furnished with personality, and thoughtfully-appointed to inspire calm and clarity. Bathed in natural light with a leafy and private view, highlighting the old world charm beneath a modern identity. But not cold, cozy, to help you settle in.

Plenty of parking

Travelling by car? There's street parking when it's available. But also metered parking behind Paradise Theatre, North of Bloor between Bartlet Street and Westmorland Road.

Walk over. Metro nearby

Travelling by foot, bike, subway, bus or streetcar? Only 6 metro stops West from Bloor and Yonge. Dufferin and Ossington stations are only a five minute walk to my studio. But when arriving by subway, get off at Ossington station, and exit the platform to Delaware Avenue for a shorter walk. 

There's also an attraction just outside this metro exit you won't want to miss. With it's cult following awaiting patiently in queue to snatch original sweets before they sell out at Bakerbots baking. They also serve up ice cream sandwiches from Bang Bang. Rosanne Pezzelli is the creative mind and owner of both shops.

Bloorcourt Village: Before and after

Enjoy Bloorcourt Village on Bloor, with some shopping at Popbox MicroMrkt for snacks on the go. Visit Osteria Rialto for a bite and brew on their sunny patio. Or browse Muddy George for mens smart style. A favourite is The Monkey's Paw an internationally recognized book store of old and unusual printed matter.

Bloordale Village: Where it feels like the weekend every day

In the mood to explore? Step 5 minutes further West to Bloordale Village on Bloor. Grab a creative and expertly made cocktail at Grey Tiger, An Artist-Run Cocktail Bar turned bottle shop, pantry and seasonal patio by Becky Ip and Ryan Ringer. Or pick up a tongue-in-cheek card at TOWN, operated by Shelley Town, daughter of deceased Harold Town, The Original Bad Boy of Canadian Art. And just up the street is Easy Health Food Store, shopkeepers Kujovic and Nenad Vuksic run this general store with a simple aim –– to bring quality foods from local farms to the city and into your kitchen.
