Coastal Cottage
From a distinctive setting to carefully chosen pieces, our homes say a lot about who we are. The Welcome Home series is our chance to ask inspiring people how they created a space they love.
For Michaela Rechtschaffner, founder of cult knitwear line Pearle Knits, being a maker runs in the family. Her mother, Renee, is an artist and sustainable clothing designer, while her grandmother, Patricia, is a painter who sews, dabbles in sculpture, and builds furniture. “She’s one of those people who can just make anything.”
Both Rechtschaffner’s artistic eye and her love for her family permeate her home on Bowen Island, near Vancouver. The eclectic space is bursting with texture and comfort—a space where four generations feel equally at home.
