A cool credenzacarved rom a single
piece o limestoneplus a warm stove
make the ront rooma great place to
hang out in the all.
the silver lining o building almost rom scratch is
that every inch o the house is imprinted with their
bright and extroverted personalities.
Todd is an actor and puppeteer; Caitlin is a pup-peteer and puppet builder. They met on a YTV
show called Big and Small, were riends or years
and then kept separate places in the Annex. We
really liked our old places, says Caitlin. My
apartment was bright, light and airy, while Todds
was parlour-like with deep, rich tones and beauti-
ul old wood mouldings.
W e love houseswith character,and somethingbuilt out o love, experience and time. Todd andCaitlin bought their east-end home six years ago;it had been a rooming house and was charitably
described as needing a lot o work.
We thought some things would be salvageable,
says Caitlin, sitting with son Emmett, three, in
their sunny living room. We didnt expect a total
gut job. Renovating has been a long process, but

It turns out that Todd and Caitlin had
no trouble marrying their design
ideas. They decided that a ormer din-
ing room was the coziest space in the house and
turned it into a living room. They tore out cheap
parquet oors and covered the suboor with ber-
ber carpeting. Woven-grass-mat wallpaper wrapsthe walls, and sophisticated leather and teak bal-
ance rough-hewn pieces like the mantel. And they
used this neutral palette throughout the house.
The natural hues and materials mix together art-
ully to create an eclectic eect, but the space is
used cleverly too. Above the mantel, decorated
barn wood doors disguise the TV set. Were lm
and media people, says Caitlin, but we dont want
to live with it 24 hours a day.
Another benet o a complete redo is being able to
make the rooms ow more efciently. Ater carry-
ing out 14 tons o debris, they were able to betterimagine how to open up the rooms. Were pret-
ty handy, says Caitlin. Todd is a carpenter and
learned everything rom his dad. We built a lot o
houses together, but this was the rst time I got to
call the shots, he says. It was Todds idea to try
the rounded wall (in the opposite photo) and it was
up to his dad to nd the best way to do it.

My avourite thingin the house is the

The kitchen was the last room that
the couple renovated on the main
oor. It was a unny little room with a chimney
and a staircase that led to the second oor, so
some time was needed to gure out exactly how
to make it over. The process was also compli-
cated by the act that an eight-month-long job
came along, and Todd and Caitlin had no time tocomplete the task. (We were washing dishes in
the bathtub, she recalls.)
We knew the kitchen was built as an extension to
the original house, says Todd, so the day we took
possession Cait picked up a sledgehammer and
smashed away to expose the brick. Understanding
the newly revealed exoskeleton led to a middle-o-
the-night realization that they could switch the place-
ment o the back door with a window to let in more
light and allow or unbroken counter space. They
let exposed brick where they could and installed
rich-looking but inexpensive wood countertops.
The entrance to the ormer staircase to the upstairswas made into built-in shelving, complete with a
wine rack. Caitlins dad is a wine connoisseur and
initially chided us on the height o the wine rack and
how much light it would get rom the window across
rom it, but ater a moments reection he withdrew
with Hell, you kids wont let a bottle hang around
long enough to go o, anyhow.

WE TRIED TOINCORPORATEAS MANY FOUND
ELEMENTSAS NEMATERIALS
the space
Todd and Caitlin did the majority othe renovation beore the arrival
o their son, Emmett, but his inuence has had
a huge impact on the look o their house. For
example, the dining room table has been moved
to one side to make room or a beanbag chair.
And Caitlins ormer studio became a kids room.
Creating a kid-riendly space was not stressul.
We were still trying to gure out who he is, she
says, so in no way was it a stretch to bring in
pieces we already had and evolve with them.
Part o that evolution will involve Emmetts
emigration rom crib to big-boy bed. An amazing
upcycled daybedcurrently used as a couch
awaits that milestone. The daybed is the best,
says Caitlin. The legs are made rom banisters
rom the old King Eddy hotel. The two-by-ours
were salvaged rom the house.
Another reason the couple nd it so easy to
ow between child and adult space is that they
are kids at heart themselves. Everything in the
house reects a part o our lives. We love bring-
ing in all the puppet and kid stu, but we take
an adult approach to thinking about how it all
comes together.

Having a sense o humour iscrucial when one is trying to
outt a home on a budget.
Years o working on sets o TV shows and con-
structing puppets have helped them reimagine
rooms as well as urnishings.
In the bathroom, Caitlin has repurposed shoe
stretchers or use as jewellery holders. A sense oplay is also apparent in the toilet humour depart-
ment. Todd loves that the Big Brother Is Watching
You prints eyes ollow bathroom visitors. Its a
wonderully cruel thing to hang above a toilet.
Back on the main loor is evidence that Todd
and Caitlin really love objects with history and a
story behind them. One o the rst things you seewhen entering the house is a big old antique seed
counter rom a general store. Caitlin discovered
it on Craigslist and ell in love. She was working
on a show at the time, so Todd said hed call to
inquire about its availability. To surprise her, he
told her that it was already sold.
For two weeks Caitlin was lamenting this terribleloss, says Todd. She even had space on the
oor taped o or it. Then, once the drywalling
in the ront room was nished, he sneaked the
counter into the house. Caitlin still loves it. Its
100 years old and the cloves drawer still smells
like cloves, she says. Its housing kids movies
and cowboy boots now.

Luck also plays a role in creating
a happy home. A lot o the art
and objects in Todd and Caitlins
bedroom are ortuitous nds. A drawing o peas
in a spoon was an advertisement they ound in
Japan. The painting over the bed was a piece o
street grafti they discovered in Montreal.
Wed allen in love with two pieces the artist had
nailed to an old ence that we passed on our way
to work. One day I noticed that someone had
appropriated one o them, and earing that the
same would happen to the second I pulled over
and, acting like an annoyed city worker, ripped
it o the wall and sped away, he conesses. He
later went to an art show by the same artist and
bought some pieces to realign the art karma.
Still, many o the best things in the bedroom are
the couples own inventions. The dressers are
straight-up Ikea, but Todd added new tops to them.
Hacking Ikea stu can work so well, says Todd.
Anyone can mix it up with even just paint.
And then theres a large and prominently placed
Godzilla on the nightstand. He was Todds teddy
bear when he was a kid, says Caitlin. When they
moved in together, she suggested that they give
the lizard pride o place in their room. Todd says
thats when he knew hed ound the right girl.

I they are not on set, Todd and Caitlin
work rom home. When Emmett was
born, Caitlin moved her studio into the
basement (which unortunately we didnt shoot
as it was getting dark). Todds ofce was the very
last room to get redone, as they used it as a wood
shop during the renovations.
Like the rest o the house, it had to be completely
redone, but this room had the added challenge
o being completely crooked. To solve one prob-
lem, a coered ceiling was installed. And letover
grass-mat wallpaper helps unite the downstairs
palette with the upper rooms.
The studio also provides storage space or Todds
toys. He has a collection o gures rom classic
TV shows and movies like Ghostbusters, Buckaroo
Banzaiand The Six Million Dollar Manthe very
things that made him want to make lms and that
still inspire his work. He also wanted to showcase
his sculpture over the years.
What makes this lovely little house Todd, Caitlin
and Emmetts dream home? The renovations
took time but also allowed them the chance to
understand how the space worked and let them
imagine the many ways to create a un and wel-
coming home.

4. 6.
INSTRUCTIONS1. Use the bamboo skewer to pierce a hole
almost all the way through one Styrofoam
ball. This will be the head portion of the
puppet. Keeping the skewer in the ball, use
the utility knife to slice the ball completely
in half. This will keep the holes in line.
2. Cut o the sharp end of the bamboo skewer
and use some of the spray adhesive to attach
it to one side of the Styrofoam ball. This will
be the top half of the puppet.
3. Use the circumference of the sliced Styrofoam
ball as a circle template and cut 2 circles
out of the black craft foam. Use the holepunch to match where the holes were in the
Styrofoam. Attach to each side of the sliced
ball. This will be the mouth of the puppet.
4. If you are using a bendy straw, cut o that
portion. Insert the straw through the other
half of the ball, ush with the mouth palate.
This will be the lower half of the puppets jaw.
Use masking tape to attach the ball to the
straw. Put the two sides of the ball back
together and you have your puppets head.
5. Poke the second Styrofoam ball through the
straw/skewer to create the puppets body.
Firmly tape the body to the straw.
6. Time to sculpt. Keeping the mouth closed,
spray the whole puppet with a light layer of
adhesive. This will help the Model Magic
adhere. Start sculpting by applying a thin layer
over the top half of the Styrofoam ball and
forming ears. Continue by applying a thinlayer to the bottom half of the ball that forms
the lower part of his jaw. Next, form the body
by covering the second Styrofoam ball with the
sculpting material, and add arms and legs.
Once the Model Magic has hardened (about
72 hours), paint and attach eyes with the pins,
and you have your very own talking monster!
