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.

Reno Stage Of My Kitchen Makeover

When I moved into my home four years ago, I didn’t like the kitchen. I knew a full renovation would be required but it wasn’t in the budget right then. Instead I gave the kitchen a facelift until I could really do what I wanted with it.

As a city dweller in a small space myself, I love the challenge of making useful spaces in my client’s homes. For this space, I worked with Digital Influencer and radio personality Taylor Kaye.

Canadian summers are short, but that doesn't mean you can’t enjoy the months that you have. I took inspiration from a warmer climate, California, to transform a patio into an LA style getaway in the middle of Toronto.
