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.⁠⁠

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!⁠⁠
