We love designing cottages and vacation spaces for the same reason we love cottage life.

They're made to hold experiences, traditions, and the small moments in between.

The room where siblings become roommates again for a weekend.

Where friends stay up talking long after the lights are off.

Where early risers sneak out for coffee and the first look at the lake.

Where stories are shared, laughter carries down the hall, and memories are made without anyone realizing it at the time.

The best spaces aren't just beautiful.

They're part of the experience.

Feeling incredibly grateful after this year’s Community Votes results.

Thank you for trusting Main + Marsh in your homes, cottages, renovations, and new builds over the years.
After seeing another awesome company post their well deserved recognition, we clicked through the categories amazed to see our name along with your votes 🫶

Gold — Architecture & Design
Gold — Bathroom Specialists
Gold — Interior Decorator
Silver — Kitchen Specialists
Bronze — Interior Design

Each year this little firm continues to grow into exactly what I’ve always hoped it could become. Over the past year especially, quietly building behind the scenes — returning to school, expanding our knowledge, refining our process, and continuing to elevate what we offer our clients.

We truly have the best clients (like seriously the best clients you could ask for) and get to work alongside some of the best trades and local businesses in the area. Without all of you, I’d just be sitting here with a lot of samples, sketches, and ideas.

Thank you for supporting local design, local trades, and small businesses like ours. We’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead.

(And when a small business owner says we they really means me wearing 100 hats and our many dreams)

This week was full of site visits and sunsets.

I feel so blessed to be welcomed into many homes, in so many beautiful places. It's not lost on me how lucky I am to design in cottage country, with my favourite birds on site, water close by and the energy that this area brings. And to have amazing trusted build partners who bring me along to meet their clients and bring the vision to life, you guys are the best and I hope get a break over the next few days.

I hope you have a lovely long weekend in The Kawartha's - go explore!

In between planning client projects it’s fun to play with all of the incredible samples at while planning dream projects. I feel so grateful my friends own the coolest stores, source the coolest products and let me share their space when I need - literally the best!

Looking for custom furniture, lighting and more? Let’s go shop with Lisa and make some cool stuff.

We went to Toronto this week
and every time I’m there
I notice the same things

The shapes
the brick
the beams
the tile

It just does something to my brain

It reminds me why I love design
why I chose this path

And right now
5 weeks out from finishing semester two
and my first year

I needed that.
I’ll be in heavy focus mode for April, then right into summer build mode!

I have a few late summer spots if you are looking for some cottage upgrades or a fall winter project, let’s chat.

How to use a whole-home colour palette

One of the biggest misconceptions about colour is that it has to live in one “feature” room.

It doesn’t.

If you want your home to feel cohesive — not scattered — here are a few things we think about:

1. Start with a core palette.
Choose 3–5 tones (including woods and metals). These are the ingredients that move through the entire home.

2. Change the proportion, not the colours.
One room may lean heavier into green. Another may feel mostly cream. They’re still pulling from the same family — just in different weights.

3. Repeat in different forms.
A tone might show up as tile in one space, upholstery in another, artwork somewhere else. It doesn’t need to match — it needs to relate.

4. Use neutrals as bridges.
Cream, wood, and brass connect stronger colours so transitions feel natural instead of abrupt.

Cohesion isn’t about matching.
It’s about continuity.✨adams

What room are you picking for your weekend hangout?

Is it a solo day cozied in bed, baking in the kitchen or with a group of friends on a big cozy couch?

This project gives options for sure.

When you’re building a custom home, who you hire matters.

Experience matters.
Technical understanding matters.
Process matters.

I’ve intentionally built my career from the inside out — real builds, supplier knowledge, ongoing education, and now architectural advancement.

I care about how your home performs.
I care about how it feels.
And I care about making your build team stronger.

This doesn’t need to be chaotic.

If you’re planning a custom build and want thoughtful, grounded design support — let’s talk.
