Tucked into the serene landscape of Northern Ontario, Project Stanley Ranch began as a vision of space and stillness. Designed for a couple and their five beloved dogs, the home is a study in natural textures, enduring materials, and understated luxury.
The homeowners originally planned to manage the design themselves but soon realized the complexity of a new build. After a referral to Lauren Perry Interior Design, a creative partnership began that guided every detail with care and intention.
From the start, beauty and function worked hand in hand. A grand entryway was created to welcome a tall Christmas tree each winter. A wood-clad pantry and dedicated home office were integrated to support daily life. When the original choice of vinyl flooring was reconsidered, Lauren suggested rustic wood instead. The result is a home grounded in warmth, character, and longevity.
Completed in spring 2024, Project Stanley Ranch stands as a reflection of thoughtful collaboration. It is more than a house. It is a story of inspired living and a reminder that bringing in a designer early can shape not just how a home looks, but how it lives.
