We have a quiet weekend ahead of us, mostly because our oldest is away at a swim meet (first time being bussed and billeted with her team!) and she’s often the source of much chitter...
Sometimes I feel like IKEA is a four letter word. You know the kind I’m talking about. The design industry may have a love it or hate it approach to the big box Swedish powerhouse...
Yay Friday! It’s been a busy, yet productive week and I’m looking forward to the weekend even though I’ve got a laundry list of things to do. Most of all I’m just so darn thankful...
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared a before and after! This particular installation happened early December and we transformed this empty room in a day from basic to beautiful. See the colour and...
There’s something about this classic combination I’m feeling drawn to and compelled to take inspiration from for upcoming projects. Gold and white have a way of being modern and traditional,...
When I walked by the Ceragres booth I couldn’t help but take notice. It felt like a candy shop, beautifully designed, full of light, colour and creative ways to display their tile. Ceragres is a...
Hello sunshine! It’s funny the things you take notice of and gravitate towards, in the end finding a common thread of colour combinations, patterns or graphic designs. Our time in Palm Springs...
It’s been almost two months since I attended IDS13 in Toronto and I’m happy to finally be showing off some of the fabulous finds I saw walking the show. In the past few years I’ve...
We’re back from our spring break vacation in Palm Springs. It’s the second year we’ve gone and it won’t be our last. We spent the majority of our days poolside, soaking up the sun, lounging...
A few weeks ago we completed a main floor installation I’ve been looking forward to seeing come together. Unique pieces, pattern and colour as well as the courage to trust has yielded great...
While across the pond last September for the London Design Festival during BlogTour London we visited Decorex, the UK’s premier luxury design and interiors show. I couldn’t help but notice the...
This is one of my favourite parts of a project. The beginning stages where the conceptualizing and ideas are flowing, the colour palette is set, furniture selected and go ahead given. There always...
Tent London is a multi faceted design show and considered one of the most creative events in the design calendar. It boasts over 200 established, yet up and coming interior product designers. These...
A visit to ELTE is never complete without the fuel to spend 4-6 hours shopping the entire store. While there in January the cafe was closed making way for one bigger and better. I got...
I love receiving packages at my doorstep. They are often samples or small items for clients, however this particular package was addressed to me! Have you ever wrapped a present in a box, within a...
At Nyla Free Designs Inc. we have what’s called styling day. When a project is ready for install all furniture, accessories, artwork and the like are delivered, placed and styled for our clients....
Ok, I’m being a tease. Just one image from my Vancouver condo install is all you’re allowed. I’m keeping the rest of the project under wraps for now, however I’m sharing one of my favourite...
Hello! I’m off to Vancouver bright and early this morning to bring to life a condo project I started back in the fall. Delivery of all the furniture and drapery installation happens today, art and...
I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. It’s a tad over done for me and why do we limit all the fuss to one day a year aside from anniversaries,...
Last fall I embarked on a distance project in Vancouver, outfitting a condo top to bottom. I flew out for a day to visit the site and start the sourcing process. By the end of...
While we’ve moved into our new office, there’s still lots to do in order to bring it’s personality to life, but I thought it would be fun to share an inspiration board of the pieces...
I’ve got new digs! I know many of you have been wondering what I’ve been up to and how I’m doing. It’s been a challenging few months but I’ve started the new year off with...
The best way to describe the last four months of 2012 is “all consuming”. The intensity, work load, stress, sleepless nights and lack of appetite really took it’s toll. After returning from...
I know…shocked to hear from me? I’ve been absent for quite some time. It’s been for good reason, and I’ll fill you in soon, but for now I would like to extend my warmest New...
Samuel Heath has been in business for almost two centuries. Founded with a focus in brass, it has evolved into bathroom fittings and accessories with a worldwide audience. Attention to detail in...
“Nature does not differentiate between ‘new’ and ‘old’ – a block of limestone quarried yesterday could be over 180 million years old; anchoring even the most contemporary of homes to Earth’s...
It was cold. It was raining. We were exhausted. The truth is I could have thought of a million reasons not to go. But, I knew I should. I knew in my heart this was...
Between the hours of three and five in the afternoon, the English are known to pause for high tea, also referred to as afternoon tea. Not only a social event, high tea is a bridge...
If you’ve ever attended a trade show, you know the overwhelming desire to take it all in and absorb as much as you possibly can in the short time you’re there. Every turn is an...
