Believe it or not … this cute, bright and functional kitchen is in the basement!!!!
We kept it light and bright and brought in that punch through this cool graphic hex tile.

TIP!
Keep your design choices light and airy where you have very little natural light. By keeping it light it will help the very little light you do have bounce around and make it feel bright and spacious and remember to bring it some fun (always)

Pretty pink please! 💕

When clients say their spaces feel cozy it’s one of the best compliments I can get.
Colour, textured materials, lighting and layering all contribute to that over all cozy feel.
👉 TIP: 👉 for designing outdoor spaces also consider using the fence as part of your space and think of incorporating it into your design like you would a wall in any interior space.

Two tone kitchens are my fave especially when it’s painted cabinets mixed with wood. We used wood boxes with white doors which I love how they turned out! Swoon! 💚

I love when clients are open to colour! This space

I love when clients are open to colour! This space makes me so happy for my clients and all the holidays and gatherings they will host with their family and friends. I think after these past two years we all deserve some colour injected into our lives.

It’s the weekend! Who’s out treasure hunting?

It’s the weekend! Who’s out treasure hunting? I love to hit up the antique markets & stores on weekends.
It allows me find gems to mix old and new like these corbels I found @legacyvintagebuilding and used them as shelf brackets with new walnut planks as shelves over a new sideboard from @mobiliacanada
Design should be fun and a symphony of notes not just one.

Layering is key to design & styling. It adds dept

Layering is key to design & styling. It adds depth, texture and makes a space feel warm, inviting & expensive (even tho might not have spent a lot).
Wallpaper on its own is expressive but adding a gallery wall on top takes it up that extra level.
Remember to have fun & layer up!

You either love them or hate them. The classic apron front sink. I personally love them. TIP: If you are planning on upgrading your kitchen and would like to incorporate one in the new design make sure you you mention this to your designer, contractor & cabinet maker because they require a special base cabinet, special installation & bracing.

Travel has always been a huge love of mine. I get a lot of my design inspiration from it through the landscapes, colours, culture, materials, foods & architecture. I’m looking forward to getting back at it soon!

Do you love to travel? Where will you travel to first once travel restrictions get lifted?

Did you know that @hilary_farr and I speak fluent Italian? 🤷‍♀️. Nope, neither did I. A fan sent this to me who lives in Italy AND the woman who does my voiceover also did Alyssa Milano in Charmed. 🙌🙌🙌💜 @_loveitorlistit #loveit #teamloveit #loveitorlistit #design #designer #interiordesign

Do you want to brighten up your space? If yes, here's how you can bring a little light into your space 👇⁠⁠
⁠⁠
▪️Apply a bright coat of paint. This will take a room from drab to fab. For the project pictured here, we painted the trims around the window in a black colour, this made the bright wall colour stand out even more!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
▪️Paint the walls a light colour and blend them with the ceiling. ⁠⁠This will give the room an expanded look and feel! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
▪️Replace your light fixture.⁠⁠
