Doing what you love is always exciting, especially when you feel there’s always room for growth. That’s exactly what happened to me while following Sonja from @sonja.lk – a homeowner that just finished building her home and shares many pictures on her Instagram page. I follow many interior design pages on Instagram and I love sharing photos on my own page as well, but seeing Sonja taking care of her home, sharing all of the details and reading all of the comments always complementing her style made me discover an incredible world of talented homeowners that love to share their homes on Instagram. This inspired me to start a bi-monthly series where I will showcase beautiful Instagram homes designed by homeowners, like yourself. I am sure you guys will love to get to know more about these homeowners and see how they designed their interiors.
Take Sonja for example, a mother of two who decided to put all of her energy and knowledge towards building their dream home in Vancouver, BC. Patience, research and intuition were key to get to where she is right now. Here, she explains more about the journey of building her dream home:
Her beautiful personality can be felt in every space of this home. Thank you, Sonja for allowing all of us into your home today…

thank you. Great post, lovely and sophisticated home. I don’t do Instagram so am very pleased you are going to showcase it on the blog.
Love that wallpaper. I went on Crown Wallpaper website but couldn’t find this pattern, literally looked through each design. Can you please share the manufacturer if you know? Thank you so much!
I am also searching for this Crown Wallpaper print…any ideas on a way to find it??
This home is absolutely lovely. Would you be so kind as to share the color of the roof shingles? Thank you!
Live this house. We are currently designing an extension on a period home. Wondering if you have a floor plan for this house.
The white oak floor is gorgeous. This is what I’m hoping for.
Where are the curtains from in the master bedroom? Color?
Absolutely stunning house. Most importantly, thank you for sharing all the resources! It is beyond helpful when trying to make so many decisions.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this kind comment, Janet. I really appreciate it!
Keep in touch!
