Working remotely and holding online meetings has been a big part of our process for over a decade. All of us working away from the studio at the same time...now that’s new territory, but we are rockin it!

Choose to dwell on the good stuff.
Reminiscing on all the inspiration I captured on a design and architecture tour of Italy in 2011.
BRICK • HORSE • LEATHER • GUITAR
Who says yes to this combo?
I mean, really, who wouldn’t love a big ol equine beauty like this looking over your shoulder as you cozy up with your fav book??? ☺️🐴🎸📚💕
All of the beautiful things coming together to blur the lines between indoors and out. .

From formal dining room to relaxing lounge. We pulled together likely the smallest footprint “living room” we have faced in 22 yrs in business!!

Are you curious to know what it looked like before? Then swipe right to see the transformation.

Every home needs a place where Family gathers to connect, replenish, and relax.
Casual Sunday brunch filled with the sounds of conversation, laughter, and the odd clinking of dishes are so easy to imagine in this room. .

How about a little country in the city?
We exercised creative license here with bit of a different take on the typical modern farmhouse style, and came up with a unique-to-our-client style by interjecting a dark and moody feel.
Loaded with personality, and absolutely maxed out on busy family functionality, every inch has dual (and triple!) purpose in this small footprint 4-story townhouse.
Who says a white kitchen can’t be bold & rich!!. Photo magic just in, so keep checking in for more views of this beautiful home in Calgary. .

Reclaimed.
Renewable.
Refreshing.
Organic and Imperfect. .
Design of a space that is driven by the elements of nature...that is where the experience of soulful connection with our environment becomes so compelling that we can’t help but feel at peace on entering. .
Here is where my passion thrives.

Whether a home is grand or compact, I always try to create an inviting place for one to “perch” and enjoy a book or cup of coffee.
This wee spot checked off all the boxes with cozy seating, plenty of natural light, and a collection of nature inspired accents to bring a taste of country living peacefulness to this inner city abode. ☕️🕊☀️🍃

Break them, bend them, twist and flip them inside out....I’ve been known to interpret the word “rule” as a challenge that must be overcome!
That’s what the greatest innovations are conceived from, don’t you agree?

Yesterday spent the entire day, & on into the wee hours, getting the smallest details just right for a photo shoot.
Just one of the many, and definitely top of the list for most personally satisfying tasks in the life of a designer! That and the huge hug from our client when she saw it all put together. 🥰
Amazing magazine ready photos to be revealed shortly.
Can’t wait!!

Can’t begin to describe how much fun it is to work on projects that align so perfectly with my personal passions!
Spent the past week researching and sourcing the delicious details that will be the inspiring charm for a “European Equestrian Country Manor” themed project we just launched. Leather satchel anyone?

Chilly January weekends are best managed by dreaming of lazy summer days at the cabin in the woods. Don’t you agree?

Minus thirty-Whaaaat? It’s more than just chilly outside, so we are pulling together finishes for a mud room that will great you with a warm hug and durable finishes that say ‘I’m here for ya’. Bring on the touques (yes that’s a Canadian hat😉) and parkas!!❄️🥶❄️

Your alarm pierces the dark silence.
You half open your eyes, take a deep breath.
A new day, another list of things to accomplish. .
So with a sigh you throw back the blankets, and possibly groan just a little, as you sit up to put your feet onto the floor. And just like any other day, you hang your robe and reach out blindly to turn the faucet anticipating that the first splash of warm water hitting your face will give you the energy and motivation so desperately needed to prepare you for the day ahead. .
And that’s when it hits you. .
Open eyes and cleared mind reveal that you have finally achieved the home of your dreams. A place that speaks 100% you, your passions, your lifestyle, your sanctuary. .
The day begins here, and the experience it provides has a profound impact on how you approach your day...on how you chase your goals and achieve your dreams. .
It’s not just a bathroom, it’s THE place to create a beautiful, meaningful, and emotionally evocative space to inspire every day. .
A designer I thoroughly admire said it so eloquently: .
“Home is the place that mirrors our hearts. ....we find sanctuary in a place that mirrors our soul. The best house is the house that looks like how we feel inside.” .
-Ray Booth, McAlpine House-

Inner city living doesn’t have to necessarily feel like you don’t fit in when you’re shoulder to shoulder with your neighbors.
Many of us love rural living, yet also need to be connected to the urban hustle whether for work, business, or family reasons.
Rural Lifestyle as a design direction is our solution to live the way you were meant to in a home that FEELS like you are in the country regardless of geography!
This sweet inner city townhouse was turned into an idyllic second home alternative, with all feels of urban escape while still being mere minutes from the downtown business district.
Win win!
Now to finish unpacking and get final photos shot. .

The idea was to store some wine and show off a treasured rum collection.
What started as an idea for a simple wet bar, quickly evolved into a full-on “escape” from city life. With reclaimed beams from a fallen down sawmill in Southern Alberta, and a relatively aromatic used Rocky Mountain Whiskey barrel to hold a copper basin, a compelling story began to formulate....”let’s push back the walls and make it feel like a converted mine shaft”.
The next thing you know, we are pulling in colors and textures that help to transport you to a different time and place in thus new build home. Hints of the 19th century Wild West were reinforced with aged millwork, hand made hardware, and beautifully burnished stone, yet modern conveniences like a wine cooler, dishwasher and microwave don’t seem out of place as their neighbors.
So pull up a stool, pour one out, and savor for just a moment, what it could have felt like to sit next to the likes of Jesse James, Butch Cassidy and the gang.

Today we celebrate unexpected use of COLOR with a project from a few years back.
Happy to report that, after nearly a decade of white on white and desaturated design trends @verandamag recently announced warm colors like rust & orange, and earth friendly materials are going to be 🔥 in 2020!! .

Oh how I love combining warm wood with black!
A character-filled party room/home office space built into a loft space over a garage. What began as his dream for a rustic man cave became a truly extraordinary collaboration between designer and handy homeowner!
Looking forward to revealing our next project with this fun and adventurous couple....the main house!! It’s going to knock your socks off!😉 .
