Designer Dabito started his blog Old Brand New in 2010 to document his creative—and thrifty—design approach. “I think it's really important to show that you don't need a lot,” he says. “You could thrift and you could shop vintage and incorporate all of those beautiful old things into your space.”

After: “The upstairs family room is full of our Canadiana,” Geoffrey says. “The five point pattern in neon on the wall, the canoe throw pillows, a vintage cloth banner from TTC buses and the First Nations blanket,” are all a nod to the couple’s Canadian roots.
