I love a good, minimally designed mudroom! ⁠⁠Perfectly curated and storage well used, this combo of the wicker baskets above and clear tubs below bring a perfectly structured vertical lineage to this design. Combining the different textures makes the space more impactful!⁠⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to my total star of a Mom✨💕 ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Today, I'm celebrating and reflecting on the amazing lineage of mothers in our families and communities! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In this predominantly patriarchal world, most mothers not only manage the family household but also work at their careers and take care of little humans so that they grow into smart, strong and happy human beings! And for doing all of that, in my opinion, you all deserve an award 🏆 and so much love, gifts and more than just a day to celebrate!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Happy Mother's Day to all the loving moms out there!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Tag a mother below who inspires you. 💕⁠⁠

I love the warmth of the creamy undertones of this bathroom and the contrast of the dark, open cabinetry. ⁠⁠
There is an elegance incorporated into this design to “keep it fresh.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Fresh is the ironic word designers use to describe bathroom (and kitchen) designs, which is why white is so popular to work with ;)⁠⁠
⁠⁠
To give this bathroom a pop of "luxe" we installed gold hardware in the sink and shower. ⁠⁠

There’s ALWAYS something you can do to transform

There’s ALWAYS something you can do to transform a space you don’t love into something that you DO love.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In the "California Inspired Home" project, the homeowners wanted to balance their's needs and the existing interior space. So we decided that the dining room and kitchen right beside it need to operate equally well at an intimate scale and a larger, social scale since they regularly host dinner parties!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This dining room was previously dark and was equipped with dated furniture. So we applied a lighter wall colour and materials by doing that we were able to give it an instant refresh! ⁠And to accent the light walls, we created a distinctive, custom art wall, repainted the window frames, and upgraded the pot lights. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We built a custom bench to go along the wall, which not only adds more seating, but it creates an open and clutter-free look!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Flip through the gallery to see the kitchen, which we also designed. ⁠⁠

⁠If you want to extend your patio to the full length of the backyard yet still want some greenery,⁠ you can place a few garden boxes and pots around the space!⁠ That's what you see me doing here. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠⁠
Flowering shrubs add instant curb appeal! When looking for plants, consider the growing season, height and plant type and conditions necessary as you determine the best options for your garden!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Scroll through this gallery to see what we did to create zones for greenery in this patio space!⁠⁠

You don't need to travel to get the benefits of a vacation, when you can create your ideal spot right in your backyard! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This backyard is light, airy and inspired by a trip to California. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It’s amazing how much you can accomplish in just ONE DAY! @scott_mcgillivray @remarkableworks & @brolawsrus killed! ⁠This backyard transformation we did for @scott_mcgillivray “Scott’s House Call”!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It was a hot one and everyone worked their butts off and stayed positive.⁠⁠

When my clients, a California couple, moved up to

When my clients, a California couple, moved up to The Great White North, they didn’t want to lose that beachy vibe. We mixed the warm, yet light wooden tones with the seafoam green backsplash, reminiscent of beach glass and paired it with high gloss countertops in a crisp white to bring it all together. The modern range hood is a subtle showstopper!

I hope that you’re having a great weekend! Durin

I hope that you’re having a great weekend! During my down time, had fun putting together this bouquet! I used bromeliad, orchids, hypernicum berries and other greens. 🌱

The colour tones work so well with the decor on the shelves! I wanted to create a display that was complimentary, yet was a showstopper in its own right.

The Asian artifacts, some which were antiques were displayed prominently on the minimal shelves have a great a big impact in the space!

What’s your favourite floral bouquet arrangement? Let me know in the comments 👇
