Rewind Design - A Cottage History Podcast with Katy McNabb
Rewind Design
A Cottage History Blog
With Local Interior Designer - Katy McNabb
Hello! My name is Katy McNabb, and I am the creator of Rewind Design - a Cottage History Blog. I decided to create this blog in the last few years, as cottaging on Georgian Bay has had a huge impact on my life. I ended up living at the cottage for an entire summer in 2020, while working remotely from a design job in Toronto. My dad + I boated out the South Channel of Georgian Bay from Parry Sound, and reached the cottage at the beginning of April 2020 - there was still ice out in the channels! Being up north inspired me, and narrowed my focus and passion for cottage country, the people who cottage on these lakes and even more so how the heck everyone and everything ended up here! I am curious about historical design + architecture, the natural landscape + native species, and the art + culture of Northern Communities. Not only did I grow up here, but I am lucky enough to live and work as an interior designer in the most beautiful place in the world. I fall in love with the bay over and over again every time we open the cottage shutters in the spring. The feeling, this history, the nostalgia, we’ve all felt it: whether you are visiting a generational family cottage or building a new cottage for yourself, we all have a story to tell.
