Random fact: I prefer flowering trees to actual flowers. The sheer number of blooms and dreamy scent make it a no brainer. (But I still love a good peony like every good ‘grammer 😜). There are three of these beautiful trees in the yard of our vacation rental and I hope the blossoms hang around long enough for our first guests in a couple weeks 🤞🏻🌸🌱
The next week of exploring the museums, food and sights of Spain I will most definitely also be keeping my eyes open for unique tile. I had no idea how much of an art form tile was here until I experience @tileofspain at last month’s @coveringsshow. It’s so awe inspiring that they even use it on exteriors here for heat efficiency. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. -Guillaume Apollinaire
Sometimes you just need to let your imagination take the wheel. When I pitched my idea to use $40 in trim to mimic the interior framing of a wall Sean was more than a little skeptical of my vision for this room in our new VRBO house 😜. Now it’s a favorite for us both. Never underestimate a little $ and a lot of creativity!!
I was so excited to work in Calgary this weekend as we pulled together a perfectly sophisticated space for a long time client. Warm, inviting and elegant updates perfectly encompass her amazing personality. Having someone tell me that they love their home for the first time in 30+ years makes this the best job in the world.
You ever have those moments when you actually feel the universe eaves dropping on your life? Last week I was explaining what a matcha whisk was to Sean and asked him to find one for me on Amazon as we walked through @chaptersindigo when I happened to pass one laying out on a sale rack! For your next trick can you let me find a couple million in my bank account, Universe? 🙏🏻😜
These puppies will be sore tomorrow!! So many miles of tile and only two feet. I’m seriously so in awe and inspired by the innovation and design here @coveringsshow #coverings2019
BE STILL MY HEART!!! @ornamentaceramics just basically created my dream cafe here. I’m truly AMAZED at the showcases from @ceramicsofitaly here at #coverings2019
We are getting so close I can almost imagine waking up without paint in my hair again!!! Full budget breakdown in my stories (and in the rental reno2 highlight reel) because as they say in design/architecture “cheap/fast/perfect, pick 2” and I picked cheap and perfect for this house and wanted to share JUST how cheap you can achieve a fun and yet functional space. Also, if you ever need help with that in the Edmonton area I’m your girl 😜
