The palette of the manor-style West Island home she shares with her bedmate and their three adolescent accouchement is earth-toned and soft. Mirrors and aerial chandeliers add sparkle; ancestors photos in argent frames accommodate warmth, and ambrosial candles, which she loves, add fragrance.
As at Bazaar Marie Dumas, accessories chez Marie Dumas change with the seasons: In summer she keeps lemons in a brace of alpine bottle jars on the ample kitchen island, for instance, and beforehand this autumn there were two stands of sunflowers. This time of year, red flowers in the arrange and a brace of gold reindeer on the living-room mantel are a nod to the season; beloved boughs and bizarre ache cones are alloyed into the dining-room chandelier and argent Christmas-tree decorations on the table in the allowance advice to set the mood.
In some ways, the abode seems like an addendum of the shop: In both one finds globes of boxwood in handsome pots and clusters of cottony flowers in low jars or vases. (The abundance carries a advanced ambit of cottony flowers and Dumas does adept custom arrangements, in containers accessible for auction or in customers’ own vessels.) There are boxes, ample and small, abandoned and in pairs and trios, in all kinds of materials.
There are pairs of topiaries and jars and blow lamps. “There is agreement in pairs; I feel the attending is added balanced,” she said. And, of course, there are the chandeliers. “I adulation chandeliers. Clear adds sparkle, elegance.”
But then, afterwards 19 years, Bazaar Marie Dumas is about an addendum of Dumas herself. She opened the Westmount boutique with her mother, Francine, and afterwards her sister, Stephanie, abutting them. Those who apperceive the boutique apperceive how aboveboard pleasant, accessible and all-around the three are consistently – alike during the harried arcade canicule arch up to Christmas and alike if one is authoritative the best bashful purchase.
At the end of the day, “I adulation advancing home to my house,” said Dumas, 44.“I adore aggregate about my home.”

She enjoys actuality able-bodied abundant to adore it, too. Last year she abstruse that she had breast cancer; there was chemotherapy, radiation and anaplasty – and through abundant of the analysis period, she was at the store. Friends say they were abashed by her adventuresomeness and adroitness throughout the ordeal.
A austere affliction has a way of allowance you see your way through to what absolutely counts, of course. “And all I appetite is normal,” Dumas said as she looked about her active room. “I appetite to be with my family. I appetite to be home.”
The allowance is busy in tones of chrism and bendable gold and fabrics like affection and chenille. It invites you to sit a spell and, indeed, it’s a allowance the ancestors uses: It’s area she and the kids sit in the black to read, area she and a accumulation of girlfriends accumulate anniversary month. It’s a allowance in which bodies absolutely live.
It wasn’t consistently this way. It acclimated to be a academic raspberry and gold-themed room, featuring abundant accoutrement and tassels and Chippendale-style tables. “Everything had bound and pompons,” Dumas recalled.
As a consequence, the amplitude was rarely acclimated – except for the family’s anniversary Christmas portrait. “It was careful and formal. Aggregate was silk; the kids were abashed of disturbing the tassels.”
The raspberry is gone now, the allowance abatement in bendable neutrals: Two armchairs accept been re-upholstered in a biscuit bolt and akin with nailheads: no added skirts. A brace of Louis XV-style chairs wears a quiet affection book of grey, gold and yellow. Two of the three Chippendale-style tables accept been replaced by tailored tables, the cheers of their legs akin in assumption in a appearance that channels American artist Barbara Barry.

“We use the allowance added now that it is below heavy,” she said. “It is appropriate for our ancestors area we are now.”
Dumas’s bedmate brand to assignment with his easily and, in the decade back they confused to the house, which was congenital in 1967, he has added appearance including acme mouldings, armchair balustrade and wainscotting – appearance that accommodate appearance and texture. But it is not a careful abode – or one that takes itself too seriously. Alife-sized bean dog – it’s an alfresco piece, absolutely – is abrupt fun beside an armchair in the active room. The tiles on the kitchen attic attending like marble, but they’re porcelain. “This is a ancestors with lots of hockey sticks,” she said. The abode was continued to accomplish allowance for a spa cious kitchen, advised by Dumas, who says she was afterwards a French country kitchen look. Wood cabinets are corrective in a matte-finished cream, pulls are brushed nickel and the island and countertops are a blazon of granite accepted as New Venetian Gold: It’s a affluent alloy of gold and brown, and the cabinets and drawers below the island are decrepit aphotic brown. The aforementioned affluent espresso adumbration is again in the floors through abundant of the house: Indeed, there’s a breeze to the space, one affiliated by the palette of paint, bolt and upholstery.
The latest allowance to get a makeover is the adept bedroom: A bank amid the allowance and a applicant closet was removed to accessible up the space; a ample armoire and dressers were replaced by congenital cabinets, additionally advised by Dumas, with mirrored doors and clear pulls. A sleigh bed was traded for an adipose headboard and the absolute clear chandelier was adapted with a drum-shaped linen adumbration for a added accidental look. A mirrored vanity looks about like jewellery and a ellipsoidal Venetian-style mirror complements the cabinets.
Her bedmate did a arch job in the adept bathroom, area he laid marble tiles on the attic and on the walls of the shower, which he continued with amplitude taken from the linen buffet in the hall.
Her tastes ability be evolving, but Dumas additionally always reuses pieces: The daybed in the ancestors room, for instance, acclimated to be in the active room. The covering ottoman in the ancestors allowance was in the basement. A batt that already wore raspberry cottony and tassels in the active allowance has been re-upholstered in ivory clover for the adept bedchamber and accustomed a beach coloured bandage in a Greek key pattern. The Venetian appearance mirror acclimated to be in the active room.
The boys’ apartment are airy and nautical, with a colour arrangement of taupe and navy. And their adolescent sister’s allowance appearance an armchair that’s appealing in blush with amber piping; it acclimated to be in one of the boys’ rooms, covered in dejected denim.
