Carolyn Wilbrink has a tight emotional bond with Ontario Farmhouses; she grew up on the family farm, lives in one of her own now and breathes new life into family and friends’ farmhouses. Wilbrink respects the integrity of old homes and makes them functional, careful not to remove the elements that make them charmingly unique. She and her brother Billy Pearson transform homes that carry the old tradiitons and new tech forward. What She Said’ Anne Brodie, who also lives in an Ontario farmhouse, spoke with Wilbrink.
