Hello! Wow. What a break I have taken. The days seem to be whizzing by. How is it that it’s November? How is it that Christmas is just a mere 7 weeks away!? Day light savings time has really got me this year. I still feel shocked about how early the darkness rolls around once the work day is almost complete. I mean, it’s not like it doesn’t happen each year, but we always seem to forget, right?
So we have some catching up to do. I have been working hard, but away from the blog, so I do apologize. I often think, I should tell my readers about this topic and then the next thing I know weeks have past and I forget what my brilliant topic was. But here we are… and here is what has happened over the past few months…
The long short of it is that I have been working on some awesome projects, some which you may have caught on my Instagram. Most of them are renovations to old homes that need updating but there have been a few new builds too. I have been blessed with wonderful clients and a schedule that has been chocked full of meetings, sourcing and executing. Let me share some of the site visit photos and such that I have been snapping along the way…
 |
| This modern house is far beyond the framing now (Nick is actually installing cabinetry today!). |
 |
| A photo captured by my client. This was just days before they moved in. I love the repetition of the lights. Pots lights are not always the answer 🙂 |
 |
| As per my previous post, you know all about this reno but we got a feature in The Hamilton Spec on this one. Isn’t that exciting? |
 |
| A Lakeshore condo is about to go contemporary. The home owner is down sizing and changing gears from their old traditional style. |
 |
| This kids bath is really sweet! And all the tile is in stock. An easy way to save a few bucks on the overall reno costs. |
 |
| Nick is showing off our design for a mudroom coat rack. |
 |
| We took a few days off with the family and went down to Florida. That was fun! |
 |
| An addition is being added to a century home. You will not believe how amazing this looks now. We are currently waiting for the kitchen counters to be installed! |
 |
| Thanks to CDECA, I was able to listen to Suzanne Dimma, of House and Home Magazine, discuss the ins and outs of getting on to their pages! |
 |
| And speaking of magazines, Our Homes Hamilton gave me a nice shout out in this article. A big thanks to the clients as well! |
 |
| Some awesomeness happening here. Reinstalling the old border pattern that has existed for many years. |
 |
| Have you seen this year’s Princess Margaret Lottery Home? If not, you should. Inspiring with so many different ideas. For example, this simple theatre room. A spot for everyone! |
 |
| I also loved the front window! |
 |
| Oh yes! I painted my dining room… it use to be gray. I will post about this soon. |
 |
| This is from a condo downtown Hamilton. My clients are very traditional (think antiques and handwoven rugs). Nick and I designed some cabinetry to fit their style. |
 |
| A beautiful herringbone tiled floor. |
 |
| We just came back from enjoying Calabogie Lake. |
As I sit and write, now my mind is flooded with new ideas to share with you. I knew they would all come back to me. I hope you are all well and have had a great couple of months. By the looks of things, I sure have!
