Making Spirits Bright: Our Joyful Experience at the 20th Annual Homes for the Holidays

There’s something magical about the holiday season, the lights, the generosity, the feeling of community coming together for something meaningful. This year, we had the joy and privilege of participating in Homes for the Holidays 2025, a beloved fundraising tradition that has supported multiple foundations over the years. Celebrating its remarkable 20^th anniversary, the event continues to shine brightly, and we are honoured to have played a part in making spirits bright.

As a proud partner of this year's Homes for the Holidays, we stand alongside a community dedicated to ensuring that this cherished holiday tradition lives on. Each partnership helps support the vital programs and services offered by YWCA Metro Vancouver, empowering women and their families to thrive. Knowing that our creative contribution supports such impactful work makes the experience even more meaningful.

This year, we were invited to collaborate with the incredible Knight Varga Interiors to create a show-stopping “ultimate Bachelorette Pad” top-of-bed design. The result? A stunning display layered with comfort, style, and just the right amount of holiday glam, a room designed not only to inspire, but to evoke pure bliss.

We weren’t alone in bringing this vision to life. The historic Library of Cecil Green Park House was furnished by the team at Once A Tree, where you may view the finished installation in their retail showroom (on display now). Adorned with the artistry of Hilary Miles Flowers, adding the perfect holiday botanical touch, the room transformed into an unforgettable experience, one that guests couldn’t help but want to recreate in their own homes and were grateful to have it all captured by the wonderful eye of Janis Nicolay photography.

It was truly a room to remember, a collaboration that embodied the season’s beauty, community, and generosity.

Here’s to another year of holiday magic, meaningful partnerships, and supporting the incredible work that helps women and families build brighter futures. Already excited to see what next year's Homes for the Holidays will bring!
