Good use of space…
The small space off at the top of the stairs that you just walk by everyday is just big enough for a home office. To increase storage, convert an unused closet into storage for office supplies and a wireless printer... Outfitted with cubbies, any closet will look organized enough that the door can be taken off and the space can pass itself off as a built-in bookcase.
Face the desk so you are looking out of the room and it will feel wonderful to be in... do not set yourself up to be looking at the walls when at the desk...
An extra chair is always nice, says guest’s welcome...

stand back & look carefully
It boggles me that homeowners do not take a longer look at the curb appeal of their homes… this one has been bothering me for years, thought I would share…
The brown paint needs to be extended on the carport trim front and side and down the pillar holding it all up. This would so change up the look of this home…
How right next door, the new owners put up a fence
Who forgot to cut the fence posts? Don’t do this people…
As I said above always stand back and have a good look at your home, the neighbours will be so pleased you did !
we are loving the art display on the floor…
Painting out the walls, trim and shelf all in the same colour leaves the eye to see the artwork properly with no distractions…
Not a new way to display art but I found these pictures of it done right and needed to share…
Display on top of books and low tables works well for me, so loving the tomato soup art… x

Client Presentation: June 28, 2012
Floor plan of living room, kitchen and dining area… loving this layout, corner fireplaces can be difficult to design with but I must admit, once I came up with the space plan for this room… I was so in love with this fireplace…cosy spot to talk with visitors…
Now you will notice the table is up against the wall in the dining area…this is set up this way for the summer months when getting out the door without any problem is important, during the winter when they do not use this door as much the table can come forward with the chairs all around. (adding in the two arm chairs from the living room rounds out the table to seat 6).
Before we talk about the living room, I will start with this interesting shelf of niches just off the entrance… you can see it on the left in this picture, cool ah?
This is what I came up with…
Large Vase for the top shelf, from Mercana
a pop of red with the covered vases from Uttermost and this sweet large footed bird from Mercana together on the Middle Shelf
***and then as in my drawing the bottom shelf saved for a large basket with a top, done in a black painted finish, this will ground the three shelves.
Main Floor Floor Plan
Living Room
This is the fireplace in the corner of the room that all the furniture will be placed in front of. This large platter will give a good punch of colour to the fireplace and repeat the red out of the area rug.
This amazing Surya 8’ square area rug from the Athena Collection will ground the fireplace area, it’s really going to be a great place for family and guests alike to chat with my clients during parties and get togethers.
Lazboy Rory Loveseats in Brown Leather, with a set of 2 pillows on each for colour again from the area rug…
Bogdon & Gross, Isabelle Oval Coffee Table, in an black onyx finish
Bodgon & Gross Narrow End Table specked in an onyx finish for contrast with the brown leather loveseats and the cherry stained floors, Uttermost Camerana table lamps on each end table
