The Forever Home: Classic, Clever Design to Help You Put Down Roots
By Mikel Welch • Hardcover • 272 pages
A forever home isn’t just a dream house—it’s any space where you feel comfortable, make lasting memories, and truly settle in. In The Forever Home, designer Mikel Welch shows how to create rooms that are timeless, functional, and completely your own, whether you’re living in a small apartment, your first house, or the place you plan to stay for years.
With an emphasis on smart budgeting, Mikel guides you through when to invest in quality pieces and when to get creative with cost-saving tricks. You’ll learn how to build a cohesive colour palette, choose the right rug size, shop for furniture that lasts, and add those thoughtful details that make a house feel like home—all without overspending.
Packed with beautiful photography, practical tips, and Mikel’s approachable design philosophy, The Forever Home is perfect for anyone wanting to create a space that feels personal and enduring. Whether you’re just moving in or finally ready to refresh your long-loved home, this book will help you design with confidence and heart.

A Note about Shipping
Willow Creek has always been rooted in an in-store experience, and our online shop has grown as an extension of that atmosphere. Many of our pieces are delicate, oversized, or uniquely shaped, so shipping can look a little different from item to item.
Some pieces may show as pickup-only at checkout due to size or fragility. If you have a question about a specific item, you’re welcome to reach out, and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
Thank you for giving us the room to continue shaping what online shopping looks like for our small shop.
Seasonal Shipping Update
With Canada Post experiencing rotating strikes and unpredictable delays, we’ve begun sending online orders through more reliable courier services when needed.
Courier pricing is noticeably higher, so we’ve updated our flat-rate shipping to reflect the current landscape while still absorbing part of the cost on our end.
We’ve also paused free shipping for now. This helps keep things sustainable for our small shop during a season when delivery across Canada is more unpredictable than usual.
Thank you, as always, for your support.
Flat Rate Shipping
We ship within Canada only at this time using trusted courier services.
Manitoba (MB): $28 flat rate
