As much as I love a vibrant moody space, light and fresh can also be layered, joyful and interesting 💚

I 💚 when a project just clicks. When clients already have killer taste—art that’s chic, honest, and completely them—it lets us as designers, take their vision and take it somewhere they didn’t know they could go. That’s when the real magic happens for us - when we get to truly showcase our art.
Here’s a little sneak peek at this plus plus cool project, where we mixed their whimsical, mid-century-skewed vision while still retaining the classic sensibility of this home. The result? Well…. More to come. 😉

A Blank Canvas Transformed ✨

When a client comes to us with a blank canvas and a vision of modern, sleek, and chic — infused with authentic global moments — the result is pure magic. For this project, we elevated the clean lines of a modern aesthetic with rich textures and thoughtfully layered pieces collected from the client’s travels.

Whenever a client asks if they can incorporate existing pieces from their journeys, the answer is always yes. These treasures add a layer of depth and soul that no showroom find can replicate. The textures on the walls, the curated furnishings, and those meaningful global accents have turned this space into a true reflection of the client’s life and story.

Designing a home isn’t just about style — it’s about crafting a narrative. And this one tells a story of adventure, culture, and refined living.

A blank corner turned statement moment. In this older bungalow, we transformed an unused nook into a major functional and design feature—one that sets the tone for the entire space. Our clients love to entertain, so we brought a sexy lounge vibe right into the living room, layering in rich textures, moody tones, and an effortlessly chic energy. Recently featured in , this home is all things chic, moody, and très sexy. Swipe to see the before 🖤

An office with main character energy. For our Mid-Century Parisian project, the client wanted a space that felt romantic, chic, and undeniably boss—so we delivered with layered textures, elegant details, and a palette that strikes the perfect balance between soft and powerful. Offices, like powder rooms, are the perfect opportunity to push the design envelope, and we love how this one came together. Would you go bold in your workspace?

Color, Character & a Touch of Whimsy ✨🎨

This project was all about striking the perfect balance—infusing a streamlined modern home with layers of vibrancy, joy, and personality. We started with a clean slate and carefully wove in bold color blocking, playful moments, and unexpected details that capture our client’s zesty spirit.

At first, she wasn’t sure if her love for energy and whimsy could harmonize with the serene minimalism of the home—but that’s where the magic happens. The challenge of blending contrast into cohesion is what I live for. Design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about unearthing truth, translating individuality, and making spaces feel as good as they look. This one? A true reflection of its owner…and their cat Mr pickles. 💛💙❤️ 🐈

Serenity is the word I use the most often when working on bedrooms. It’s taken a while for me to distinguish the difference between the type of design I’m attracted to vs the type of design that elicits the right feeling for me. They aren’t always the same thing 🙂 One of my fave little corners in my house - I’ll miss it 💚

The brief for this project - mid-century meets Canmore mountain man 💚. This client bought a home and had enough foresight to see its potential despite it not being everything they wanted. We worked together to work WITH the house and accentuate its natural beauty. One of my design philosophies is to work with the grain - it always yields a more seamless, fluid, natural and more beautiful result 🤩
