Every year, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), partners up with Minto Communities to bring to life a Dream Home, which serves as the grand prize for the annual lottery.
Designed by local interior designer Tanner Vine and furnished by La-Z-Boy Ottawa, this house comes to life with stylish, dream-worthy furniture.
By purchasing a Dream of a Lifetime lottery ticket, you'll have the chance to win $3.3 million in prizes, including the Minto Dream Home. Proceeds will support high-priority needs at the children’s hospital.
Even though only one lucky individual will win the grand prize, many products are featured inside the home that can be purchased at any of our La-Z-Boy Ottawa & Kingston Showrooms.
That said, you can create your own dream home with these products, too! This article will highlight each room in the Minto Dream Home and each product provided by La-Z-Boy Ottawa.

Before we dive into this year’s home in detail, let’s learn a little bit about the house itself and the inspiration that led to this beautiful home.
Firstly, This Year’s Dream Home is called The Oasis.
Situated right next to the previous dream home, this house is located in Mahogany, Manotick at 845 Companion Crescent. With a 5,097 square-foot floor plan, The Oasis is currently situated by itself in front of a semi-private cul-de-sac lot, backing onto a protected green space.
Based on Belgian-style design, with many aspects covering wellness and relaxation, the home features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
The dream home also features natural elements in every corner with a yoga studio on the 3rd floor loft, a golf simulator in the basement, a sunset deck off the primary bedroom, and a spacious den on the first floor.
Tanner Vine is the designer for this year’s Dream Home. With over 20 years of experience, he brings a wealth of expertise to the project.
When it comes to the interior design of the Dream Home, Tanner notes that the home's interior takes huge inspiration from a minimalistic lifestyle, with an emphasis on health, wellness and relaxation.
“I decided to do a modern interpretation of a Belgian farmhouse design, blending traditional architecture with simple and natural colours,” he says.
As you walk through the home, you will notice the natural light colour palette, especially the wooden accents, large windows and green accents from real plants to help balance out the atmosphere of the home.
Bringing to life Tanner’s design is La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries. Since the very first Minto Dream Home, La-Z-Boy has helped furnish the home and is honoured to do so each year.
Being a local family-owned branch, La-Z-Boy Ottawa & Kingston is always proud to give back to the Eastern Ontario community through this event.
Cecile Panet-Raymond, La-Z-Boy’s merchandising director, has been helping to furnish the Minto Dream Home for almost 15 years. For the first time, she and Tanner partnered up to choose the products you can see within the house.
To ensure the design of the furniture matched the overall aesthetic of the home, Cecile and Tanner extensively customized La-Z-Boy’s furniture selections.

In addition to traditional La-Z-Boy Residential products, you can also find products from our subdivisions of La-Z-Boy Incorporated. This includes brands such as Hammary and Kincaid.
While La-Z-Boy Residential emphasizes upholstery furniture, these other branches of the La-Z-Boy brand focus on filling the need for case goods, bedroom furniture, and decor.
Further, La-Z-Boy carries products from external suppliers which will also be found throughout the home. This includes Surya, Canadel, Uttermost, Mercana, Renwil, and much more.
Throughout the catalogue, you will find a wide range of products from several different suppliers but everything listed below can be shopped for through the local Ottawa and Kingston locations.
Below is a catalogue of the furniture featured in the 2024 Minto Dream Home. Keep in mind that discontinued products found in this year’s home will not be mentioned within this catalogue.

The bright gracious foyer is the first room people will see when they enter the Minto Dream Home, in its grandeur you can see a majority of the first level, as well as the study on the left side. The front entrance features tall French-style doors, a sturdy white oak wooden bench hand-picked by Tanner Vine Interiors, an abstract art print, and scones to balance the Belgium-style home.
In the study, you will notice a sit-down area for those interested in doing work, listening to some music on the record player, or just relaxing on the plush chaise seat.

Centred around the custom-made fireplace, the living area features plush couches from La-Z-Boy, a large custom-made coffee table to help fill up the large room in the space, and large windows that help bring natural light in–a recurring theme that stays true in almost every room you enter.
Sitting above the fireplace is an art piece specifically designed for this home by a local artist named Judy Nakagawa. The wall art piece represents CHEO and spreads its message continuously to hopefully touch the hearts of everyone in the community.
Giving everyone comfort in this room is two Emric Sofas, which are the other main attraction in this room. Tanner notes the continuous seat cushions being a unique feature he was drawn to, as well as the obvious comfort of the seat. The Emric also emphasizes the minimalist theme in this home.

With kitchens and bathrooms being Tanner’s initial specialization, he believes this is his favourite room in the home. Showcasing a bright airy and dramatic layout, the kitchen and dining area is separated by an extra-long island, made out of a custom travertine-esque countertop done on hickory wood cabinetry. There is also integrated kitchen appliance within the millwork, as well as a hidden pantry to enhance the minimalist space.
The main dining space features four dining chairs and a 15 ft banquet that is constructed within the nook of the windows. This compliments the large dining table well and helps seat multiple people at once.

Going up the custom staircase with embedded glass details keeps the natural theme into the second floor. Although the space may look a little bit tight, the bedrooms make up for this lost space immensely. On this floor sits two child bedrooms on the right side, a laundry room on the opposite side of the stairs, and a primary ensuite with a bed, a sitting area and a large bathroom.
As mentioned above, this primary ensuite features many different places for activities, including a resting area for nighttime, a sitting area for relaxing and watching TV, a desk for possibly doing work if you don't want to go downstairs, and an outside balcony for those nice and sunny days.
The primary bathroom area features a mirror stretching all across the bathroom wall, a water closet for privacy, and tub and shower space that is open-concept with a partition wall to still let in natural light in the area.
