Photo shoot

I had the pleasure of working with an amazing client to completely redo her main living space.  She moved to a new home and wanted to start over with a fresh new look.  We did this mostly through paint and furnishings and it turned out great!  I had the space photographed a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share a few images.  I am in the middle of putting together a new website so for now just a sneak peek.   Have a good weekend!

Photography by Tracey Ayton

Tommy Smythe

Tommy Smythe was featured in Style at Home this month and I wanted to share a few pictures of his space.  My favourite room has got to be the closet!  The closet is off the rack from Ikea and he customized it by adding trim detail, paint and beautiful door knobs.  Doesn't it look beautiful?

Dressing a designer

I was very flattered when Karla Amadatsu from Kerrisdale Design picked me for her new series Dress a Designer.  I love clothes as much as I love decorating and I had so much fun putting together an outfit for her.  Check out her blog and see what I came up with.

Bathrooms on the brain and a giveaway

I am in the middle of working on a few bathroom renos so all I'm thinking about these days is tile, counters, flooring etc....  I came across this photo and I fell in love with the wallpaper and the pretty chandelier.  

I also wanted to share with you that photographer extraordinaire Tracey Ayton is having a fantastic giveaway over at her blog today.  I just wrapped up a photo shoot with her and Tracey did an incredible job. I'll be posting some pictures soon.  Have a great Monday!

What do you think?

I brought home this adorable lacquer box.  Doesn't it look delicious?

Olivia Palermo for Tibi

I came across some photos of Olivia Palermo doing an ad campaign for Tibi. She is one of my favourite fashionistas who always looks effortless.  I have already purchased the oh so chic 70's trouser jean that she is wearing in the first photo. Such a cool look that I need to be sporting this spring!

Happy Valentines Day!

Hope you all have a good one!

Plate walls, granny or chic??

I was having a conversation with some friends (you know who you are) over lunch last week about Sarah Richardson and her plate wall she did on the first episode of Sarah 101.  I was against it from the start and thought it was bad on every level.  So I thought I would try and find some cool plate walls to see if they would change my mind.  What I have discovered is that there is a fine line between chic and granny.  I think the key is to mix up the styles so it doesn't give off that granny vibe, you know?  After saying all that I'm still not convinced:)

Interiors by Wendy Haworth

I came across this designer through 1st Dibs and love the modern feel to her spaces, so pretty.
