Struggling this week to get the perfect laundry room configuration for a home we are designing. Combos keep getting shuffled… drying racks, extra sinks, storage, stacking machines vs raised on pedestals or top loads, ironing board, folding space, and even a special consideration for barn clothes and a shower…. this often underestimated room is getting as much attention as the kitchen these days!!
So here’s a throwback to a very carefully planned down-to-the-very-last-inch-of-available-space laundry room from several years back.
To this day I still believe it is the most luxurious tiny laundry room ever!

Why, when the views are beyond stunning, is the window shade down?
Because there is more than one way to experience SANCTUARY in the same setting.
Today’s choice is:
Soulful • Introspective • Peaceful
The perfect place to dream big dreams

Views.
Oooh but I love seeing a project come to life!
In these truly unusual times of chain supply issues and super stretched scheduling challenges (I haven’t seen our industry this busy in the past 30 years! - oops, I just aged myself😆), we really have to appreciate all the people and moving parts that help us get to the finish line!
Today I am especially grateful for our outstanding “family” of trades, suppliers, and the RLD ‘special team’ of designers and project choreographers.
Despite all the bumps and detours that hit us daily we are all still smiling, laughing, and raising a glass to each other as we pull together to produce our clients’ wildest dreams properties!🙏🏻🙏🏻

By far one of the most fun bar areas we have ever done.
I swear this is the perfect set location for a country music video🕺🏼📸🎶
Love when a client puts 100% trust in the vision!

What is it about bunk beds that attracts us to them, no matter whether young or old?
I have a few theories, but for now let’s enjoy these views “from the inside” in this perfect place to dream your wildest dreams.

11 years & 5 major projects with this family. We got to be well loved by 2 generations of their family pups. They have all appeared in several of our photos over the years, but this fella seems to be especially suited to the camera. Meet Boulder…Bernadoodle modeling inquiries can be sent via DM. 😂
There’s snow on the ground today here in Alberta, so I’m sharing this #crappyiphonepicsaremyjam photo I took on my drive home about this same day a couple years back.
The moody sky seemed appropriate for a Halloween day post.

It’s the perfect kind of day to cozy up under the blankets with a good book.
I think even #bethdutton would approve, don’t you?

Remember this chair?
It was a crazy second-hand purchase I made during the first couple months of the pandemic lockdown in 2020.
I loved the chair but not the fabric it came with, so it was relegated to storage awaiting its eventual rebirth some unknown day in the future.
It remained in the back room at gge studio for many months, but i eventually found the perfect replacement: simple oiled saddle leather. And doesn’t it fit just perfectly in this new home office space we recreated out of a rarely used formal living room!
There are always rainbows to be found after the storm….just need to keep your eyes and soul open to discovering them in the least likely places.😊

Can I deliver a pie to you?
Giving Tuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Black Friday. Considered the “Opening day of the giving season,” it’s a time when charities, companies and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the giving community comes together for Giving Tuesday.
We at RLD have a special place in our heart for a local equine therapy non-profit organization - Robinson Outreach at RiverCross Ranch (ROARR) strives to relieve the conditions associated with youth and elderly in need, by providing Equine Assisted Learning and related therapies
Many of us know that when you donate to charities - like ROARR - that you receive a tax receipt. But wouldn’t it be great if it also came with pie??!!
Now you can have both!
When you donate $100 between now and the end of November, not only will we send a tax receipt, but you can also come and pick up a homemade pie at RiverCross on November 30th!
EVEN BETTER, if you are located near the Calgary/Cochrane area, send me a DM to let me know you donated and I will personally deliver your pie!
Make your donation today on our website - link in the @roarrorg bio!
IT IS MY ABSOLUTE HONOR AND PASSION TO BE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR The Robinson Outreach at Rivercross Ranch, a LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT IS IMPACTING LIVES IN PROFOUND WAYS EVERY DAY. Visit the website found at www.ROARR.org to learn more.
We are so grateful for your support!!

Do you know the history of the pool table?
“The earliest recorded playing of a recognisable form of billiards was in France in the 1340s. Played as an outdoor lawn game similar to croquet, it eventually moved indoors and onto a wooden table with green cloth to resemble grass on which it had been previously played. By the early 18th century indoor billiards was a favoured past time of the French nobility and English gentry.”

Perfection is not absolute. It is subjective. It is defined by the soul’s desire for fulfillment.
Maintaining the imperfection of time, wear, weather, and even decay is the secret to adding dimension to the story of a building. Weathered wood, barnwood, reclaimed and rustic…all beautiful ways to describe the perfectly imperfect beauty that gives a breath of mystery and nostalgia to a home.
For me, it’s not a trend (though popularity has been growing over the past decade), it’s a statement, about awareness, and stewardship. It’s who I am, and how I share my spirit with my clients…my ‘people’.
I am fueled every day by the natural wonder of imperfect wood.
Who’s with me?

• magnificent views found both near and far
• the love of friends, family, and clients
• the adventures of every new day
• this amazing, precious journey called life
(Can you hear the River in the background?)
Happy 🇨🇦 Thanksgiving!!
RUSTIC, with a dash of MODERN ELEGANCE and a whole lot of understated LUXURY.
The modern west has always had an inexplicable draw that reaches to just about every corner of the world.
This is where simplicity and authenticity marry effortlessly with the nostalgia of simpler times and the romanticism of an old western movie.
Creating these soul touching experiences gives me immense joy and fulfillment. Couldn’t imagine doing anything else!!

“Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love — that makes life and nature harmonize.”
- George Eliot -
DETAILS •••••The definition of home has evolved immensely in the past year and a half, and yet my focus on designing the “experience” of a home has remained steadfast:
—- the things you touch every day —-
day in and day out - sometimes hundreds of times in a week…those things that are a part of our sanctuary and recovery, our family connection and nourishment of our souls…those things things that have the most opportunity to silently add or detract from our lives, not from opulence, but from the mere function that they serve, as small and insignificant they may seem in the bigger picture…
…because they have such opportunity to impact a moment, a feeling, an action, or an experience in a positive way…
—those things should never be ordinary—-

I can’t lie.
I loooove the idea of sleeping for hours with no chance of an alarm breaking the peace.
While I had every possibility of making the most of a Sunday morning sleep-in, I just couldn’t make it happen!
Just too many great reasons to get up and embrace the day ahead….

“Just because something is traditional is no reason to do it, of course.” - Lemony Snicket
It’s the long weekend.
Time to sit back and reflect on all the sweet moments this life has blessed us with. This shot was taken in the quiet minutes before a heart warming family gathering filled with chaos, laughter, music and LOTS of love.
The best stuff, always!

A huge shoutout to Log & Timber Living Magazine for reminding us all about this story on one of my favorite projects of all time!!
We were deep in the pandemic lockdown last year when I was introduced to their writer down in #nashville via my first of many zoom meetings with her. She did a knockout job of taking my chaotic ramblings about the project and turned them into a storyline that made sense. No easy feat for sure! The article is worth a read….
Repost @loghomeliving - This kitchen boasts two islands, one for serving and entertaining and one for cooking and food prep, each with leathered granite counters. To highlight the peeled Canadian pine logs, the room is devoid of upper cabinets.

Doing laundry on Sunday has been a ritual for me for longer than I can remember. Maybe that’s why I get so excited when we get to turn the workhorse room of a house into a place that lifts the spirit as well as the dirt. 😏

History. Story. Authenticity.
I just love bringing tired old pieces of the past back to life in our designs.
This 150 yr old hand hewn log barn is en route to the RLD yard today, and destined to be the highlight of a one-if-kind home.
Many thanks to the hard work of our friends, and fellow stewards of #alberta heritage @salvagesolutions !
Timeless. Authentic. Epic.

Fun fact:
the art work you see on this fireplace is a photo I took not far from this property during a drive out to review build progress with the GC. As we were having it printed and framed, one of our designers determined he ought to be named.
So we named him James.
