The Bones, The Beauty and The Bling in a Bathroom Reno

2020 was the year of the reno for many people. People were stuck in their homes and wanting to enjoy every single square foot, and I was no exception! I tackled my master bathroom, wanting to create a hotel room feel in my space. Here are some tips on how to create the ultimate, serene bathroom where you can have a tranquil escape at the end of the day or start your day in pure luxury.

Summer Stay-Cation in your Backyard!

With all the restrictions in the world, backyards are where it’s at for this spring and summer. Homeowners are looking to leverage every square foot of their homes, including their outdoor spaces.

Bedroom Bliss

The bedroom is a place you can retreat to and should be a space of serenity and calm. Now more than ever, people are looking for retreats within their home to find a quiet escape.

Bathroom Make Over that TURNS THE HEAT UP …

Their Ultimate Dream Kitchen

In this large kitchen, my clients had already done a face lift about 7 years ago (painting cabinets and changing up a few things) but now it was time to call in the big guns. They wanted a complete gut and re-do to create their ultimate dream kitchen. Not only did they want to demo the entire space, they gave me cart-blanche on the entire design! I was beyond excited when I received that news.

The perfect COVID Home Gym Solution

I was excited when I found out my clients wanted to do a home gym renovation. With more and more people timid about going back to public gyms during COVID, I thought it would be the perfect time to show homeowners how to maximize their space so working out at home is possible.

Extending the space you live in to love it even more >

As we are all spending so much more time in isolation and some in small spaces, it’s important to extend the space you have. One easy solution is to create more zones you can love this summer.

Small Space, Big Style >

Small spaces are always a design challenge, and the goal is to make even the smallest space look lofty and open. I recently partnered with Whirlpool Canada for a tiny footprint kitchen refresh, and I was tasked with creating a functional, efficient kitchen for a busy, growing family who loves to cook and entertain.

To change or not to change? >

Sometimes the best design decision is not to change things too much. Let me explain. I was recently working with a client who wanted to update her kitchen. She consulted with me to figure out how to spend her modest budget wisely while accomplishing a new look.

Outside of the Box - Four Takes on Electric Fireplaces >

Let’s think outside of the box when it comes to our fireplace designs! We are accustom to seeing a standard mantle with a tile surround and either a picture or mirror above it. And we typically see fireplaces in traditional settings, like living rooms.

A Labour of Love, For the Little Ones >

I love working on bedrooms. They come in all shapes and sizes so a cookie cutter approach doesn’t work, especially when the space is small and/or awkward. That sums up my spare room, which I was challenged with turning into a home away from home for three little girls under the age of six.

Tiny Home with a Huge Outside Transformation >

We had an overwhelming response when we launched the 5th Wheel Trailer at the Backyard Living Expo a few weeks ago. People had the chance to tour the space in person, gather ideas about small space living and lots of people shared their passion for minimalist living.

Tiny Home REVEAL >

I’m excited to reveal the inside of the 5th Wheel Trailer makeover I worked on this past winter.

Tiny Home with a MASSIVE Transformation >

I am pretty excited to be launching my latest love – a tiny space that I have been working on for my parents that I’ll be revealing at the Backyard Living Expo this year!

I love when the new trends for the upcoming year are revealed. It’s the perfect time to update your décor and freshen-up your home. This year is all about the classic gems with a Scandinavian twist to them.

Living Room TLC >

The living room was in fine shape but it was dated and tired looking especially since renovating my kitchen that was now open to the space, it was in need of some love.

Kitchen Bliss >

Do you remember back in the fall I wrote about “Tips on How to Survive a Home Renovation?” Well, I did survive it! My pups did too! And now I have a stunning space where I look forward to working, cooking and entertaining. Let me tell you about it …

A Living Room To Last A Lifetime

There is nothing worse than a living room that is poorly laid out and/or lacking function. I recently re-formulated a family room so it is comfy, cozy and a room the family wants to gather in.
