of the bath in the bedroom, it’s
absolutely great to take a bath in
the room that’s not the bath-
room,” Ms Madé said. The stand-
alone bath sits tastefully back
from the windows, along the wall
that separates the master bed-
room from the en suite with huge
dark-tiled walk-in shower and
closet space. Her favourite prod-
uct? A tough one, but she prefers
to fill her bedroom with the scent
of the the lush “Peachy” bath
bomb, that is indeed shaped like
a ripe fruit.
Once, a client of hers, “YouTu-
beuse” Rosalie Lessard, even did a
photoshoot in her precious bath
... filling it with milk and Froot
Loops cereal and then submerg-
ing herself almost entirely in it.
“I don’t enjoy the bath stuff,”
said Mr. Gosselin, who prefers the
shower. But the openness (there
is no door to the bedroom) re-
minds him of another selling
point: they have two dogs and
“1,800 square feet without any
doors makes a great playing field.
The dogs loved it, they could run
all the way to the end of the house
and back.” There’s also a dog park
about 800 metres away, past all
those boutiques and tech bros.
Their next place has a similar
feel, but is about five kilometres
closer to downtown Montreal
near where Ms. Madé’s new job
will be. Surprise: it’s another con-
verted industrial space, former
home to printing presses for the
Gazette and La Presse.
“You’re living in something
that had roots and history,” she
said. “These are the best places to
live in: you are borrowing the his-
tory for a short time.” Oppositethe27-footlongkitchenisanofficespacethatistuckedbehindasee-throughbookcase.
