Original Toronto Star caption: An elegant living room makes a perfect place to throw a party. A gold Samarkand rug lies on the floor to set the color scheme of the room; which is warm and glowing sunshine colors. It took a year for Robert Dirstein to renovate the almost 100-year-old home and cost was over $10;000. Trend today is toward city living in townhouses such as this.
