A little bit of everything this week.

⟶ Fall is the one season I make an exception for faux florals. Think dried textures, earthy tones and beautiful branches. The rest of the year, I’m all about fresh and natural.

⟶ Back to hot yoga after two years and it feels SO good! Also started a new weightlifting program to help this postpartum body recover and get stronger.

⟶ Unboxed the prettiest Brizo faucet for our Meadow Project.

⟶ Always learning! This week was all about windows and doors. Next up, a new 3D program and developing our own design software!

⟶ One of our favourite things: grabbing coffee and driving around admiring beautiful homes and gardens while the kids nap in the backseat.

⟶ Meet Kadra! Kadra | Interior Design Software Our new interior design workspace that we’ve been working on. My husband saw my needs as a designer and coded a whole new program!

⟶ Finally treating myself to new sneakers and OBSESSED with the cow-print detail on these Adidas. Should I report back? Anyone care? No, just me? Okay.

⟶ Baby girl’s first full week of daycare! And what did I do with all my newfound freedom? CLEANED and ORGANIZED our entire main floor. The peace a tidy home brings me. Everything has a place. IYKYK.

A little design, a little business, a little self-care. Cheers to another good week ahead! October is almost here, eeeek! 🍂

This is how I solve a crowded countertop situation. Swipe to see the progress →

My clients have lots of small appliances, so we incorporated two appliance garages on either side of the cooktop. One will house the microwave, while the other will hide everyday appliances like the toaster and mixer. All the things we need and use regularly, without having them sitting on the countertop every day.

Ending the week so happy to see this project taking shape! It started slowly, but this week brought a BIG push forward. So grateful for our trades and all the work that went into getting us here.

More pretty details to come soon 🤍

Yesterday was a big progress day at our Meadowcroft project. 🤍

Cabinet installation is underway, countertop templating is complete, and the tile floor is almost finished.

At this stage, the kitchen can still look pretty bare bones, but so much of what will make this space function every day is already built right into the cabinetry. I just couldn’t wait to share some progress shots!

We spent months getting to know our clients better, how they cook, what they reach for every day and how they want their kitchen to function. Those conversations shaped everything from the layout down to what lives inside each cabinet.

I signed a project I NEVER thought I would get.

There’s a form on my website that asks for photos of your space, your budget, and a few details about what you’re hoping to do.

Sometimes people want to skip this part, but these are the basics I need to start a renovation conversation. It helps me understand whether the dream matches the budget.

And when it doesn’t, trusttt me, I’m just as heartbroken as you are. 😭

But my job is to be clear from the get-go and help you match the vision to a realistic budget.

So when I told these clients their INITIAL budget needed to be at least 2.5x what they were expecting, I genuinely didn’t think they’d hire me.

But they did. 🥹

Not only did we do their kitchen…

Not only did we do their kitchen…

Not only did we do their kitchen…

They threw in their staircase reno too.

I meannnnn 🫶😮‍💨 come on.

Why not? Your house is already messy. 🤣

And at this point, I’m coming in and out as if this were my place. 😏🤭

So they threw in their laundry room too!

Oh, and we furnished their kitchen eat-in area.

And started on their dining room too! 🥹🤣

Careful. The renovation bug is addicting.

If you’re looking for someone who will be clear and honest with you from the beginning, and help you match the renovation you’re dreaming about to the budget you actually have — call me. 📞🙋‍♀️

It all starts with a consultation.

I like to daydream, but I’m realistic too.

And you need both.

Laundry-Mudroom Combo ✨ Before & After ✨

This family home had their laundry inside the mudroom with a garage door entry, but the space was missing so much function.

SIX Small Laundry Room Design Ideas 🧺

1. Hanging rod: For all those hand-wash and hang-to-dry pieces.

2. Soft-close: An upgrade you’ll never regret investing in throughout your home.

3. Hidden storage: Drawer-inside-a-drawer storage keeps smaller items organized and handy without adding visual clutter. (*I never skip this for my clients anymore!*)

4. Patterned tile: Laundry rooms are often small and isolated, making them the perfect place to have a little fun with pattern.

5. Counter space: my clients asked for dedicated surface for folding, ironing and sorting laundry.

6. Deep drawers: This laundry room doubles as a garage entry, so we designed three drawer depths for everything from flats and running shoes to winter boots — with rubber mats inside to protect the finish.

Small room. Lots of function. Life at Home.✨

Sometimes clients casually say something during a design meeting and my brain immediately goes, okay… we need to rethink this entire room.

This bathroom had a few things working against it: the only access was through the bedroom but served overnight guests. Storage was limited, the layout faced away from the natural light… and there was one very important request: a bathtub comfortable enough to read in.

So we moved the door, completely reworked the layout, added a lot more storage with a floor to ceiling white oak linen closet, expanded the shower and gave that bathtub a pretty good view while we were at it.🔥🛁🫧📚

Same room. Completely different way of living in it. 🤍

Did you catch where we moved the door?

The designer returning today isn’t the same one who started in 2018.

Over the past few years, I’ve built another successful business, become a mother of two, and discovered a love for creating photography sets, content creation and marketing. Each experience has shaped the way I see design today.

I’ve come to realize that beautiful homes matter most when they make everyday family life feel better.

As I step back into interior design, I’m doing so with a renewed sense of purpose.

I think about the people who will live in these spaces. The slow mornings around the kitchen island. The children growing up in them. The grandparents gathered around the dining table. The friends who become family over long conversations

Because a home should be designed for the life that’s happening inside it.

That’s why I’ve updated my business tagline:

Beautifully intentional interiors for life at home.

To celebrate this new chapter, I wanted to refresh my website and social media with photos that felt like me.

No elaborate styling. No props. Just me.

I wanted these images to say, I’m a professional, but I’m also a person.

As technology and AI continue to change the way we create, I find myself valuing something even more: the human behind the work.

It turns out I wasn’t just updating a tagline.

I was putting into words the designer I’ve become. 🤍

These had me in my feelings. my sweet Mia 🧸🌸🤍

I grew up with brothers, and there wasn’t a day I didn’t wish for a sister… a female companion. I prayed for years to have both a boy and a girl, and they are my answered prayer.

Yet this post feels a little hard to share.
I see everything: the breastfeeding body that doesn’t quite fit the dress, the belly that grew life and didn’t “bounce back” the second time, the grown-out roots that didn’t get done in time, the softness, the changes.

Other women look so flawless after birth, but I deal with my insecurities and post it anyway. Because I am a boy and a girl mom and I am so grateful I was granted that storyline. My body created, carried, and delivered two beautiful, healthy babies. I want to record it, share it and remember it.

There’s a version of me that’s working toward feeling stronger and regaining my health. And there’s a version of me right now that is learning to be present, to accept, and to appreciate what is. I could wait to book the shoot. When I am stronger and have lost some of the baby weight, but this beautiful tiny version of her will be gone. Time goes by so fast when you have babies.

So I’m choosing to see this season for what it is, full circle imperfect and deeply beautiful.

Don’t wait. Book the shoot at 🫶✨🎀

…and I promise there is a design project to share on the way, it’s a good one! But for now my life is still mostly baby giggles and snuggles in between studio shifts, always cooking, forever cleaning my house yet it’s never clean and sweaty workouts.

📷 thank you
