The historic building on Ellis Street next to BNA will soon be empty as the Lakehouse showroom will be moving back to its flagship store on Bernard Avenue.
Owners Ben and Sue Boschman say they are sad to leave the location but acknowledge it香蕉视频直播檚 time.

The multi-level showroom at the Ellis location opened in 2018 and offered brands like Cattelan Italia.
Boschman said the store curated the collections so people wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 have to go to Vancouver to find the brands they wanted for their homes.
香蕉视频直播淚t really took off and we had amazing feedback from customers who wanted to work with a designer from the get-go,香蕉视频直播 said Boschman.
Following the 2023 fires, the couple saw the number of customers starting to drop off and after the province introduced new short-term rental restrictions in May 2024, Boschman said there were fewer people in the market due to what they believe was a decline in tourism and real estate.
Now, as the Boschmans begin to move to relocate to the Bernard location the Ellis store will be liquidating most of the designer furniture with 20-70 per cent discounts and expect to be completely moved out by Nov. 30.
