Main Bath Transformation

 

Soft, subtle ocean greens and a white backdrop take this three piece bath to an updated sophisticated, spa like retreat. This bath started as a dated, 80's green and pink floral explosion! The warm wood of the custom cabinetry add an element of nature that will never go out of style.

Design of the Week...

This bathroom is a true testament of just how one unique element can change the entire look of the space. This black and white chevron tile is stunning and adds the perfect offset to the warm wood vanity and brass fixtures. Simplicity and pure elegance!

Industrial Loft Design

This Portland loft design has a brilliant mix of industrial and rustic elements. The cool white walls surrounded with sleek black trim and ceiling adds the perfect contrast to this loft. There is an open flow from room to room carrying warm wood tones, stainless steel and white furnishings.

This custom, over sized stainless barn door is a beautifully unique way to separate the living area and the bedroom with ease. The black hardware suites the space and adds a focal to the wall.

 

Design of the Week...

A masculine retreat featuring dark, suede walls, a cow hyde area rug and an oversized sectional in suiting grey fabric. The unique two sided fireplace adds warmth and a cozy element to the space. I think we would lose our men for hours in this room!

The Pet Spaw & Lounge - Sneak Peak

One of my newest design projects involves pampering cute, cuddly pets in a Toronto based Pet Spaw & Lounge. This approximately 1000 square foot commercial space is being transformed into a retreat for our pets and pet lovers!


Here is a sneak peak of the story board that portrays the overall design of the space!

Top Nursery Designs

Having a baby is one of the most joyous occasions and designing the perfect nursery can be a daunting task! Here are some beautifully designed spaces that can transition through the years of newborn to toddler without having to create a brand new look.

Think playful and whimsical and forget the matching furniture sets! This amazing rug brings texture to the floors in soft pink and neutral hues.

Use bold coloured accessories with soft neutrals. Spend your money on versatile furniture that can be used for the years to come and does not scream baby nursery!

White subtle walls with accents of warm wood tones allows this transitional nursery to sooth any newborn.

How stunning is this soft, billowing fabric lining the ceiling and draping onto the wall? Do not be afraid to create a bold feature wall. This design is so successful due to its soft neutral and unisex pallet.

Light fixtures are another easy way to add style and flair to your nursery. I love seeing the baby's name in lights!

Model Home - Village on the Grand

Village on the Grand, built by Kingwood Homes, features 95 luxury, two story town homes, with spectacular views of the Grand River, in the heart of Paris, Ontario. Fully designed, with every detail in  mind, I wanted to capture the essence of the nature that surrounds the home but also balance it out with highlights of contemporary finishes. 

Design of the Week...

This contemporary great room brilliantly displays the perfect combination of neutral tones and subtle golden hues. The space is quite compact but utilizes scaled furniture that maximizes seating for family and friends. The modern club chairs are absolutely divine!

ASPEN RETREAT

This stunning Aspen chalet has the ideal mixture of soft and hard finishes to create a relaxing neutral space. The focal wall features a wood burning fireplace surrounded by concrete and mosaic tile with a balance of wood cabinetry flanking on either side. 

It's all about the Tub!

What started with the ever classic claw foot tub has now transformed new shapes, sizes and styles of free standing, soaker tubs to the world of design. A great soaker tub is an essential for all homes. Not only is it a luxurious experience in your own home but it is a stunning piece of furniture that lends itself to great design.

 From square to oval, free standing tubs come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suite the needs of the space and the client.

To add glitz and glam to your tub, faucets can be the perfect accessory. From a traditional shining chrome, wall mounted faucet to a contemporary, muted, brushed nickel floor mounted faucet and hose, there are endless possibilities that will add the perfect touch to your free standing tub.

Remember to consider the design style you would like to achieve when selecting the tub to ensure you will enhance the overall look and feel of your bathroom retreat!

Graphic Photo Walls

What better way to bring love into your home then to create a photo wall with images of your loved ones and favorite memories. The visual effect that multiple picture frames create when hung in a geometric pattern will create a statement, focal wall! 

There is a trick to hanging your frames perfectly, without putting too many holes in your walls. First, lay out your frames on your floor in the ideal pattern that maximizes your wall space. Measure the center of your wall and start with the frame in the center and bottom of your pattern. Work your way out from the center and then move onto the next row. 

By using different sized frames it creates a unique pattern. Remember, to create interest mix up the frame sizes and colours. Have fun with this project!

CLEAN LINES WITH RUSTIC ELEMENTS

Marble countertops, shaker cabinetry and white paint make up this clean lined kitchen, but add reclaimed beams, floating shelves and iron to the mix and we have a stunning juxtaposition of materials and design styles. One of my favorite elements in this design is the subtle chevron, wood floor!
