Happy Friday 🥂 I know we are all tip toeing back to socializing again ~ Soon we can fill these gorgeous spaces with family and friends and I cannot wait! ✨

I am knee deep in kitchen renovations at the moment and it’s all about entertaining spaces! Maximum seating, bars, lounges, wine fridges, multiple cooking zones and the list goes on! People are preparing big time for hosting again! 💃🏻🎉 🙌 Is your kitchen ready?! 💫

Hi! 👋 For anyone new here, a little hello from me.

I have been in the design and decor business since 2006!

However, my passion started as a teen, back in the late ’80s, when I redecorated my room blue and white Laura Ashley floral! I wished I had a photo of that room, wow, it was cutting edge at the time right down to the antique white cast iron bed frame, balloon draperies and ruffle bed skirt!

I unfortunately, did not go down the designer path at the time, I went to the science/health care route, but that was short-lived. My passion for anything to do with homes and creativity came through eventually.

I got my real estate licence in 2002 and sold real estate in a robust market for about 7 years in midtown Toronto. I loved every minute and was very successful at it until the hours of a realtor got in the way of family.

I then turned to staging homes for sale, as I did so for all my listings as a realtor, I had a knack for it! I was hired by my former realtor peers and ran a staging business with an incredible team for many of Toronto’s top realtors.

This quickly turned into a design business as many of my staging clients wanted myself and team to assist in the design and decor of their new homes.

After a few years as a busy mom of three and designing/renovating/building/decorating several of my own homes and cottage, I decided it was time to get properly schooled in the field, which I completed in the spring. Yay! Life is a journey I tell you and believe me you are never too old to achieve your dreams! 💫

How great is this basement bar backsplash?! ✨ Pretty awesome right? 💁🏻‍♀️

Heath St. East Project 📸 @nicholasaphotography ✨

The backsplash is an area where we can really make a statement. It can seriously make the space come together and there are so many incredible choices out there 🌟

I am working on a few projects right now where the backsplashes are going to be just WOW ~ I am so anxious to share once completed but for now, this one is just WOW 🤩 Don’t you agree? 💁🏻‍♀️

Spend the money on the things you touch the most ✨

I am fully immersed in kitchen and bathroom projects at the moment 💫

The faucet choices endless, but please keep in mind that you will get the most tactical pleasure from pieces such as faucets that you touch on a daily basis. 🌟

This gorgeous luxury faucet is by @waterstone_faucets 🌟

Furry friends ~ I can say that approximately 99% of my clients have a fur baby as part of their family! 🐶😽

Not sure if it’s the type of clients I attract or is it just the demographic 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I’ll take it! I get it, I have two dogs myself! ✨

Things to consider when designing fur baby friendly spaces:

1. High performance fabrics and carpets.

2. Attractive pet beds, they are part of the space and should look coordinate with the decor.

3. Feeding areas that integrate into the kitchen or mudroom.

4. A place to store, sometimes giant, bags of food.

5. A place to bathe them, doggie showers are awesome additions to any mudroom or laundry room.

6. An attractive closed basket by the back door to house toys and towels/wipes to wipe paws clean. 🌟~ for great doggie gear ck out @dogma_canada ✨

Ok Leaf Fans this may be the year! 💙

My son is a HUGE hockey fan and would easily poster his room in leafs paraphernalia, however, ya no, not in my house! Lol There is a way to display your favourite sports teams more tastefully🌟

This vintage Maple Leaf print by @manmade_art looks so great in his bathroom 💫
