GIVING THE COBBLER SOME NEW SHOES

Full disclosure- while it is a joy and a pleasure to design modern spaces reflective of my clients’ lifestyles and personalities, my own house still needs a lot of work. While various past media projects (like the Style At Home video and Evelyn’s room upgrade) give me a good kick in the behind, there is still much to be tackled, including my kitchen, bathroom and master bedroom. If you’re following me on Pinterest, you’ll see I have started boards to help get me going- if I showed you what my kitchen looks like currently you’d be agreeing that this cobbler needs new (WAY MORE STYLISH) shoes.

I have a feeling after visiting the National Home Show this year I am going to be totally motivated to get started. It’s a show packed with ideas for all your reno & decorating projects and this year I’m really excited to join my colleagues Glen Peloso, Jim Caruk, Jackie Glass, Jane Lockhart and Jackie Morra at the Reno & Decor booth to answer design questions this Saturday at 12pm. Please come say hello if you will be at the show, and if you have a kitchen you hate, please know I can empathize!

IDS12: OPENING NIGHT PARTY

It’s been a fun whirlwind these past 2 days- here’s a little recap of the Interior Design Show opening night party and the unveiling of my design of the National Bank Hub for the How Do You Live exhibit.

Furnished by BoConcept, I created a multifunctional space for the modern family. When you visit the space you’ll notice a home office, room for toys and lots of concealed storage to keep the space feeling spacious. Using the National Bank colours of red, black and white I was thrilled to outfit this small space. More detail shots of the space to come : )

Thanks to Larry from Arnal Photography for the great pics below from the opening party:
