Aaaaaand the antler theme continues - because I just can’t help but put at least a hint of animal in every room we put together!
Call me obsessed.
But really, aren’t you also??

Did you pay attention to your life lessons? I didn’t for a long time.
Isn’t it funny… how the seeds for what you find yourself gravitating towards later in life were planted in the simplest and most ordinary of moments in your childhood?
I grew up on the West Coast.
Small towns.
Simple yet filled with adventure lifestyle.
Surround by majestic cedar and Douglas fir forests.
Swimming in rivers, water-skiing on lakes, fishing on the Pacific Ocean, and when I was a bit older, taking to the slopes of the mountains that surrounded us.
My heart and soul were shaped by a constant interaction and reverence for nature and animal (both domestic & wild). My dad was a forester, my mom an artist…..guess you could say I turned out to be the perfect combination of the two….although I did detour for a bit as I pursued fashion design (of all things!) in the big city! That didn’t last long. I just couldn’t find my passion there.
So here I am today, reflecting on the life journey that brought me to where I am now. Loving what I do, surrounded by a beautiful family of my own whom I am incredibly proud of, and a work family (the RLD team!) whom I couldn’t imagine taking this passion driven journey without!
So what are the lessons I have learned in getting here?
1. Stop trying to outsmart your heart. It knows you better than your logic does!
2. Dream BIG and then go chase it with all that you have in you! (It took me most of my life to get over this hump. Sure wish I had learned this one in my 20’s!). I’m doing this now that I’m past 50 (gulp) and am having the time of my life!!
3. Surround yourself with all sorts of people who share your passions and who are smarter than you at at least one of them. This was a real game changer for me - when I started seeking out relationships with this in mind, I found myself amongst the most brilliant and inspiring variety of people of my life! Those connections have often turned into beautiful friendships, fruitful business relationships, and fulfilling opportunities to make a difference in the world by giving back to our community.

Oak, copper & stone with a modern twist.
Oh, and of course a little antler touch , cuz land and animal are natural harmony!

The most important thing I’ve learned about simplicity is that simplicity wins in the long run. Simple is stickier than complexity, and it survives. I think nature teaches us that, and we learn it time and again in work and in life.
Isaac Newton quite possibly summarized it best, and with the simplest of statements, when he said
“Nature is pleased with simplicity.”
I also am pleased with simplicity.

Those sweet eyes warm up the coldest of days.
This is Hammer, and and although his name sounds rather tough, he really is a big old softy! Hammer is one of the horses at the Robinson Outreach at Rivercross Ranch (ROARR) here in Alberta.
ROARR strives to relieve the conditions associated with youth and elderly in need, by providing Equine Assisted Learning and related therapies.
It’s an organization & a purpose that Mark and I have a deep connection with, and last year I was honored to join the board of directors.
It is where we give back, give support, and find our own peaceful rejuvenation.
We have many great goals for this organization and it’s programs. With an incredible board & amazing team whom I feel are my family, we are on the path to providing life changing experiences for many local youth and seniors.
You will find me cheering for this program a whole lot in 2022…because I am passionate about the value it brings to those who are often overlooked. At Rochelle Lynne Design, ROARR is a major part of how we give back to our community, and because we do, our clients & network become a part of that gift too.
So rather than thanking all of you for your support over the last year, I am starting 2022 with a giant THANK YOU for the great things we will be able to do over thanks to YOU being a part of our #wildestdreamspropertydesign movement in the next year!!
So excited to do amazing things together!!

Work in progress…so many exciting projects coming out of the studio these days, means too busy to post!
So thought I’d throw some progress photos of this inner city #casualcountrystyle reno we are soon to wrap up.
The #beforeandafter comparisons will be shocking! Stay tuned😁
And yes, even though we specialize in rural properties, we have been asked to throw our style into city homes too!

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

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.

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?

Grateful for:
• 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—-
