Kelowna's Juicy Tips

This Friday and Saturday, Ballet Kelowna invites us all to channel our inner voyeur, inviting us to their fundraiser, “Hot Holiday Homes” which will give ticket holders access to wander through 6 gorgeously decorated private Kelowna homes to get us in the holiday spirit.

A home decorated in festive holiday spirit in Kelowna.

Hot Holiday Homes is a self-guided tour of of warm, welcoming, private homes that will get us all in the spirit for our own holiday decorating.  The homes are all private homes decorated by the homeowners & the designers. Designers include Fowler Interior Design, Barbie Ross, Sticks and Stones Design Group, St. Nicholas Ave., Home at Last Interiors, LBV Design Dress Décor, olive & elle, Nesbitt Originals, Okanagan Dream Builders and Suzanne Petti.

At Hot Holiday Homes you'll get a wealth of holiday decorating ideas!

The special event takes place this Friday (November 11) and Saturday (November 12) between 4 pm and 9 pm. It promises to showcase what’s hot in holiday décor, give ticketholders a new spin on some old favourites and be totally inspired by the homes and designers while enjoying a real home atmosphere.

Here are some of the highlights you can expect on the tour:

• A European country-inspired home with a Mediterranean colour palette and old-world charm
• A traditional home built in 2001 and almost completely transformed into a modern, almost industrial design with stainless steel contrasting with traditional mouldings.
• A home that is centered around a gorgeous “Chef”–certified kitchen where cooking & entertaining are always top of mind.
• A beautiful multi-generational home that blends old and new with a private backyard oasis.
• A lakefront home where classic comfort combines with theatre for a home filled with holiday magic
• One of Kelowna’s original properties restored and reborn with loving care and filled with the spirit of a home of days gone by

The homes will also feature beautiful floral arrangements, wine and cocktail tastings, delicious snacks and trees decorated to showcase the designers talent.
