Guess what I'm doing right now???

1 coat down, and one, maybe two to go!

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 😜

My fingers ache every night, the skin on my hands is cracked and sore and I’m in absolute heaven 🖤 This is the point in every project when all the mess and blood and sweat and tears come together to show you they were worth shedding (there were MANY tears a couple weeks ago when I fell on a patch of ice in the back yard with a huge pile of paint supplies 🤣). Lots of little tweaks and things to paint and touch up but the vision is real and tangible and isn’t just floating around my brain at this stage. It really never gets old!
